In-Person Students: It is crucial that your child is here every day! We have 50 days remaining and want to make sure we are working with kids every minute!

Virtual Students: It is crucial that your child attends every virtual session and is on time for every session. We also ask that you utilize virtual office hours if your child needs additional support.

If attendance is not consistent SSS administration will be reaching out to help eliminate any barriers for students.

Nominations are now open for positions for both Site-Based Decision Making Council and the Parent Teacher Student Association. Information and forms are available in English and Spanish on our website https://sssptsa.weebly.com/ and in the front office.

We are preparing for a day-long Earth Day program at the school and would like some volunteers to help with vendors and classrooms. If you are able to help with just a one-time slot or the whole day we could use your help. Please use this sign-up link https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D44ACA922A5FBC07-earth .

Our next two dates for student leadership are Thursday, April 29th and May 13th after school in the cafeteria. All students in grades 5th-8th are invited to join! Snacks provided and ESS Bus available.

Let’s face it. This past school year has been weird but our SSS Teachers and Staff have gone above and beyond to help us all make it through. Let’s celebrate all that we have survived and thank all of the amazing people at SSS who helped our children and families make it through. The first week in May is the time of year we really take time to show our appreciation and we need your help through food donations and volunteer slots. If you can, please sign up using this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D44ACA922A5FBC07-welove Make cards, send a message, treat them to something special, anything to let them know how much they are appreciated. Thank you!

World Poetry Celebration submissions have been extended to April 25th!! Please encourage your student to submit a poem to go into our collective school book that will be kept in the school library. The classroom or homeroom with the most participants will get a class party with either pizza or ice cream. There will be a class participation winner in each elementary and middle school, so we hope this encourages everyone to jump in! Also, we will be doing book give-a-ways to those who are participating and will have one winner per class (of those participating). Note: this is not a contest. Students do not have to attach their name, they can say grade and or age so long as we know who the student is and can let us know. To submit entries we ask that you use this link https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfDpWlR9loxT9U7CvIj-6K68zTM4-XdV5TarNogBLIxjCNVyA/viewform?vc=0&c=0&w=1&flr=0

We owe a huge thank you to Poor Richards Books who not only donated 30 books for students and our library but also helped us in getting 47 books to start our Family Resource Library with books specializing in behavior and learning disorders, educational rights, and how to best meet the needs of our children. If you have the chance, please stop in to Poor Richards and thank them for supporting our students and school.

Dear 8th grade students and parents,

I am ecstatic to announce that enrollment has opened for you to join me and 32 others FHS students and faculty on a trip of a lifetime to GREECE AND ITALY for Spring Break 2022! Since you will be 9th graders next year at FHS when we travel, I wanted to make sure you were included in this amazing opportunity. Come travel with us and EF (Education First) tours as we explore these two countries through admiring their breathtaking views, learning about their culture, trying new foods, gaining independence, and making a ton of memories along the way! As well as the cultures we will experience students will gain valuable international travel experience as we will travel by plane, bus, ferry, and cruise ship. Yes, we have a 4-day cruise of the Greek Islands included in this 13-day trip.

Enroll by April 1st for a $200 discount towards your enrollment, as well as the security in knowing there is a 100% Risk Free Money back policy that if you change your mind for any reason before Aug 1, 2021, you will get your money refunded. You can see all the important information and enroll at our tour website www.eftours.com/2440840bt. There are easy automatic payment plans to ensure you have everything paid for by travel time!

Please reach out to me, Mrs. Harmon, at julia.harmon@frankfort.kyschools.us if you have any questions! I have traveled with student groups for many years throughout my career and most recently took an FHS student group to England, Ireland, and Scotland. The experience and knowledge these students will gain from traveling the world is unimaginable. Join us for this exciting trip. (Parents are welcome to enroll and travel as well)

Arrivederci,

Julia Harmon
