VALUE of the MONTH: Respect
Principal's Message
Dear SGB Families,
Thank you for all your support during this busy time of year! It is wonderful to see all the activity and parent involvement.
We are looking for volunteers who would like to join a marketing committee to help us spread the word about SGB. If you have any experience with marketing, video production, advertising, photography, etc. we need you!
Also, we are looking for families who may be interested in creating video testimonials about why SGB is a great place for your child/children. We will be sending more info soon for families to sign up!
God bless,
Ms. Clarke
IMPORTANT UPK DISMISSAL INFORMATION
NEW:
Starting on Monday, October 23 ALL UPK parents picking up their children at 1:15pm will go to the church parking lot and form a line beginning at the BOTTOM RAMP to the SGB TOP PARKING LOT.
Cones will be removed by staff at 1:15pm, and then the line will proceed through the top parking lot to the front of the building.
Drivers will NO LONGER have access to the front of the building during dismissal from Cinder Road.
Please inform anyone who will be picking up your child, that this is the ONLY entrance and will hopefully eliminate the unwanted 'cutting' that has been taking place.
SGB appreciates your patience and help with working through this issue.
