Dear Stork Families,
The month of October was jam-packed with several special events. Our Jog-a-thon fall fundraiser was very successful. It was exciting to promote health and fitness while earning money to support school programs, technology, assemblies, field trips and many other important learning opportunities for our students. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I enjoy having lunch with our Jog-a-thon winner recipients each year. Those students will be informed as to the date in which we will have lunch. Our “Principals for the Day” will be announced soon as well. Thank you so much for all of your support with our Jog-a-thon fundraiser!
We also promoted healthy choices during Red Ribbon Week as our students participated in activities that centered around making positive choices. We had a dedicated group of parents decorate the campus and the door decorations were unbelievable. The community support from our Stork families is like no other. Your commitment to your child’s education is to be commended. Thank you so much for your continued support!
With the holiday season approaching, the Stork staff members are truly grateful for so many things, especially our Superstars. Our students have already shown tremendous growth in the short amount of time they’ve been in school. We are incredibly proud of the effort they put forth during this first trimester.
Your child’s progress and assessment results will be shared at our upcoming Parent/Teacher Conferences. We will schedule appointments on our modified days beginning November 18-22. We have a 1:00 pm dismissal time on each of these conference days for grades 1 – 6. Please remember, some parents were invited to our earlier round of conferences on September 19th and 20th. Teachers will meet with parents to discuss student progress and develop goals for next trimester. During the conferences, teachers will discuss the report card that is aligned to our CA academic standards. The goal is for all of our students to make progress throughout the year and to reach mastery of the standards by the end of the year. We strongly encourage home and school to be a partnership, and we look forward to seeing you at your child’s conference. Be sure to communicate any changes at home that may impact behavior or performance at school to your child’s teacher. It is always a good idea to stay in touch with the teacher to discuss the progress your child is making! We look forward to seeing you there. Our Book Fair will also take place from November 18 – 22. Be sure to stop by!
Since we are thankful for so many things at Stork, our student senate would like to give back to families in need by sponsoring a “Holiday Food Drive.” If you would like to donate any canned food or boxed items, please send them in during our “Food Drive” from November 4th through the 15th. We hope to see you at our PFSA sponsored Dine-out on November 14 at Mod Pizza on Haven. It will be all day. Please be sure to check our “Lost and Found” as we will be donating all items on November 22, by 4:00 pm.
The Stork staff and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our families for volunteering and showing support! Have a safe and festive Thanksgiving break with your families!
Sincerely,
Phil Suttner
