Sawnee Elementary
July 2024
A Note from Mrs. Davis
Dear Sawnee Families,
We are excited to welcome the 2024-2025 school year and can't wait to see everyone! If you are new to Sawnee, we will be conducting tours on July 18th. Please use this link to sign up so we can be prepared for your welcome. Your students will be receiving a special welcome from us inviting them to our annual Ice Cream Social on July 27th as well as Open House information, which is July 30th. The Ice Cream Social will be held outside and is simply a drop in to get them used the idea of school again. But, who doesn't want ice cream?
If you haven't met our PTO board yet, be sure to take time at Open House to stop by Gym 1. We have an amazing partnership and appreciate all of their hard work in helping us make Sawnee a family community. We will have House shirts on sale at Open House with PTO. You will receive more information from your child's homeroom teacher when calls are made after July 24th.
2024-2025 is going to be another great school year! We have lots of fun activities planned for both during and after the school day. Be sure you are following us on social media and our website to stay connected.
As always, if you have any questions, concerns, or just want to give feedback, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. It is a pleasure to work with all of our families.
Sincerely,
Kimberly Davis
Principal
