Sheffield Spotlight

Thank you to our families and volunteeers for making this a fun and exciting morning! It took many hours and planning and we are so grateful to everyone who made this event special!

Thank you to Ms. King for bringing beautiful music to Sheffield! We have enjoyed the All School Sings this school year! As per tradition, our first grade friends joined us so that they could meet the Sheffield staff and students and get to know our building. Thanks for joining us and we cannot wait to see you again on May 31 for step up day!

Students have been working on the art elements of "texture" and "form" by drawing and painting textured peacocks and hand forming clay sculptures. 5th grade artists experimented with opalescent watercolors on their peacock paintings. They also learned about the chemical properties of glaze and how they change when fired to a high temperature in the kiln. They are looking forward to seeing the results of their glazing lesson next week when the kiln is unloaded!

Teacher Appreciation Week - May

Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up from May 6th - May 10th, and we have a few things planned to show our Sheffield Pride how much we appreciate all that they do. We'd like to offer a coffee service complete with a barista as well as donuts. We're also planning something lunch related on a separate day. We are asking for monetary donations in lieu of signing up for an item to be dropped off at the school, and need to raise $250. Can you help us with this? Cash and check donations can be dropped off at the main office or you can donate via Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/Friends-Sheffield, (VENMO username: @Friends-Sheffield, CODE: 1180).

Please check out our flier for some appreciation week ideas. Also, check out our link to Teachers and Staff Favorite Things. Here you’ll find their favorite colors (for Friday’s activity) as well as gift ideas, or classroom supplies.

If you have any questions or comments about any of the above, please reach out via email: friendsofsheffield@gmail.com
