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.

Thank you to all of our families for your donation of food, time, and gifts for a successful Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week! Together we put one amazing week and it was felt all through the school. Great work!

Also thank you to everyone who provided snacks and treats for our students during testing. The kids were over the moon excited, some wanting testing week to be every week.

Next Sunday on May 16th from 5-7pm there will be a dinner and meeting for parents and caregivers of current SSS 6th-8th graders. Please register to join us at bit.ly/6-8parents.

The purpose of the meeting is:

• To provide an opportunity for middle school parents and caregivers to connect with one another at the end of this challenging school year.
• To share data from the Franklin County Youth Survey, including information specific to SSS about substance use, the impact of COVID, and factors that impact our kids' wellbeing in four areas - family, peer group, school, and out-of-school time. 80% of SSS 7th & 8th graders completed this survey in December 2020, along with 71% of 7th-10th graders county-wide. The results are being shared with families, schools, policymakers, coaches, faith leaders and others to help our community create healthy, safe environments for our kids.
• To give updates on the YES Card, including a calendar of summer programs being offered and information about new providers.

A boxed dinner will be provided, and childcare and activities will be available for kids from PK-8th grade. We'll also be raffling off one $100 bonus YES Card and two $50 bonus YES Cards! Register for the event to be entered in the drawing (must be present to win).

If you have students in 1st-8th grade and are able to help decorate and serve light refreshments on May 20th at Juniper Hills please email or message us. We are looking for 3-4 volunteers who can be there at 8:45 a.m to help set up and stay through the event.

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
