May is PARP month and many distinguished guests have been reading some of their favorite books to Stonehedge children. Earlier this week Brian Kesel, our very own West Genesee Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, shared one of his favorite stories with the kindergarten children in Miss Winters' class. Five Little Monkeys with Nothing to do, by E. Christelow earned him laughter and applause. Thank you Mr. Kesel for being a PARP guest reader!

The excitement of PARP continued as our PTA sponsored a presenter from the MOST who performed a variety of science experiments centered on sound and vibration, states of matter, optical illusions and the power of air. It was not only curriculum based, it was exciting to watch! Our hope is that students will be inspired by the presentation and encouraged to read more about science, famous inventions, and tinker with invention ideas of their own.

Shh...
Miss Munley's first grade students have something very special carefully hidden behind their backs. Much thought and attention to detail is happening around the school as students prepare some very special surprises for Mother's Day. All of our moms are just going to have to wait until Sunday to find out what all the fuss is about. A very special Mother's Day to all!

Run for the Roses...
The Kentucky Derby may have passed, but today, the "Run for the Roses" is alive and well within the Winner's Circle at Stonehedge Downs. Again our PTA has outdone themselves with the Staff Appreciation Luncheon. The decorations were exquisite and the food delicious! Guests enjoyed Pasta on the Green, Kentucky Roasted Chicken, Triple Crown Green Beans, In the Money Potatoes and then topped it all off with Winner's Circle Desserts. Staff truly appreciates the time and effort spent organizing this spectacular event. We realize how very lucky we are to have such an amazing PTA here at Stonehedge!
