Falcon Flyer for Families!
May 13-May17, 2024
Falcon Families,
What an amazing Teacher Appreciation Week! Thanks so much to our PTO and all of the volunteers who helped Sullivan's Faculty and Staff feel appreciated and loved. Your support means the world to all of us!
Next week is an important week! SCReady testing begins and will be on Tuesday and Thursday. Please make sure that your student gets plenty of rest the night before and eats a healthy breakfast. In addition, make sure to encourage him/her to do his/her best! We believe in our Falcons, and we know that they will do a great job of "showing what they know!"
Dr. Persinski

JAF Honor Society!
We are proud to announce that we will induct over 20 members into our first chapter of Les Jeunes Amis du Français (or National French Junior Honor Society) on Wednesday, May 22, 2024 at 6pm in our Sullivan Auditorium. As it is our first ceremony, we induct current 8th graders this spring. In the fall, we will induct all eligible rising 8th graders. This nationally recognized organization sponsored by the American Association of teachers of French is the highest recognition that students of French can receive. Those selected have been chosen based on their excellence in the classroom, outstanding character, and dedication to service within school community.
Félicitations to our 2024 inductees!

Student Sign-Ins and Pick Ups
Parents, when bringing students to school after 8:25, please enter with your student to sign them in to school for the day.
Also, please do not pick up your students along Caswell or in the parking lot, but please come through the car rider line so that we can ensure student safety.
Congratulations!
Support Person of the Year!
Ms. Grandjean is Sullivan's Support Person of the Year!
A colleague states: "Mrs. Grandjean is a valuable asset to our school. She is always willing to help wherever she is needed. She assists in classes with teachers as well as serving as a substitute when teachers are absent. She has a good rapport with the students and shows she really cares about them by treating them with kindness and respect." Another states: "Mrs. Grandjean is caring and dependable. She is always willing to help where needed and does so with a smile. She has a positive attitude and loves teaching our Sullivan students."
Congratulations, Ms. Grandjean!
Talented Teachers!
Ms. Dawson!
Ms. Gaskin!
“The more you know, the more you grow!” I graduated from undergraduate and postgraduate studies from Winthrop University. My passion is reading! I have been a Falcon for 24 years, and you all are like my family. My mission as a teacher is to prepare students for their next steps in school, the workforce, their communities, and their personal relationships. My main goals are to be my absolute best and to help students to achieve their personal best. If I had to select the IB Trait that I most embody, it would be reflective. I constantly reflect on my actions and those of our school community, so that we can strive to make impactful change. In my free time, I love to spend time with my son, and we both are sports fanatics! Falcons SOAR!"
Thank you, Ms. Gaskin, for all that you do for our Faculty, Staff, Students and Parents!
PS: You know Ms. Gaskin if you drive through the car rider liner as she always smiles and cheerfully says, "Thank you, Parents, and have a nice day!"
