Dear Parents/Guardians,

With the start of Spring Break next week, our teachers will be having small celebrations in their classrooms on either the 13th or the 14th, depending on what works best with their schedules. You are welcome to send in snacks from the approved list below for the classroom celebrations. Again, the reason for this particular list is because all of these items are safe for our many students with allergies. It is limited because we need this to be a manageable process for our teachers.

We still do not want to have food going through our nurses for screening, as they are still extremely busy, especially with the late flu season this year. The idea is that teachers will have this same list and when they see that an item on this list is sent in, they will automatically know it is safe for all of their students. Any food items not on this list will be returned home with your student. You are also welcome to send in “goody bags” for the class that include nonfood items or the same foods from the list below. We will have upcoming opportunities for parents to be involved at our Fun Run on June 10th and our field days on June 16th and 17th. More details on both of these events will be forthcoming. Should you have any questions or concerns, like always, do not hesitate to reach out.

Slaybaugh Primary Pre-School had it's very first student Daniel Alston to lead Slaybaugh Primary in the Pledge of Allegiance. Daniel did an awesome job and received a certificate to color.

Ms. Stef and Ms. Claudia's class blew bubbles for Austism and colored rainbow infinity symbols for Autism Acceptance month to show how Neurodiversity is BEAUTIFUL 💗🧡💛💚💙💜

Mrs. Sheeran's class had a surprise reader, Mr. Marinelli, Principal of Slaybaugh School Complex. Mr. Marinelli read "The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors" to the students and joined in on a game of rock, paper, scissors with the students🙂

Mrs. Lesser & Miss Mauriello’s 3rd grade class came up with the idea to do a kindness cart to spread joy around the school. The students took turns wheeling the cart around and delivering snacks and a kindness card to staff members who help run our school and who they are appreciative of! It gave the students the chance to realize how many “behind the scenes” jobs there are to run our school, how to present to new people, & the idea that sometimes it really is better to give than to receive.
