Week Ahead
March 3rd- March 9th
Safety Drill
On Friday, March 1st, we practiced a full school evacuation drill. The drill went very smoothly and we were able to have all students and staff relocated to an off-site location and back in the building within 40 minutes. Students exhibited excellent behavior and we recieved multiple compliments from Central Office, Police, and Fire staff. Our teachers and staff followed the protocols effectively and efficiently and it gave me great pride and reassurance knowing that our students are in excellent hands. Thank you to the members of the District Safety Team, and our building based B.E.R.T. (Building Emergency Respond Team) for continuing to improve our school's ability to be prepared for a variety of scenarios to ensure the safety of our students. A special thank you to Assistant Principal, Brandy Clifford, for her attention to detail in planning for logistical support, Bryce Harper for his work with our emergency software, Intrado and Dr. Maruszczak for moving our safety team efforts forward.
Club Opportunity
Family Reading Challenge
In honor of Read Across America Day ( which fell on Saturday this year) I wanted to take a moment to challenge families to support reading at home. I came across this blog called What We Do All Day and their Read Aloud Family Challenge. Even though it started in January, it is never too late to join the fun and reap the benefits of reading aloud to your child. Check out the site for some great ideas for reading, crafts, and games to support less digital time and more connected family time.
Spring Cleaning
Family Bingo Night!
Join us for a night of family fun playing the exciting game of Bingo at the Sandwich Middle High School on Friday, March 8th from 6-8pm in the Cafeteria. Event is open to the community Doors open at 6pm. Games start around 6:15. Cost is $5 for 5 games but you can play as many games at once as you'd like.
Popcorn, drinks and baked goods will be available for purchase and will help raise money for the various groups at the SMHS.
We hope to make this a fun family/community event and hope you will invite friends and make a night of it. All ages are encouraged to attend but this is not a drop off event for children that don't attend SMHS.
We look forward to seeing you there!
