Mr. Hedges's Happenings....
Shamrock Families!
It's hard to believe that January is almost over! Today, our
fourth grade teachers and students enjoyed Pioneer Day! They
were able to dress in period costumes, sew, play games and
churn butter! They also learned some pioneer dances and were able to share those with the
entire SSES student body. It was great to see our Shamrock family supporting one another!
Well done fourth grade! As we head into a new week, please keep in mind these things:
We have seen a rise in tardies and absences here at SSES. Please make sure that if your
child is tardy/leaves early or is absent due to a medical appointment or if they have been
ill and see a doctor; request a doctors note . Doctors note can be returned to the school
o ce.
And make sure with the rise of illness that we have seen, remind your student of the
importance of good hand-washing techniques to help us limit the spread of germs.
Wondering what time your student has lunch? Please note that at the bottom of every
newsletter, grade level lunch times are posted.
Looking forward to a great February!
