Stonehedge Pays Tribute to Veterans
On Friday, November 8, Stonehedge students paid tribute to our local veterans and active duty service men and women with a special ceremony that featured the fifth grade choir singing a selection of patriotic songs. A special flag that had flown in Afghanistan was presented to the school on behalf of Sandy Sanderson. Sandy's daughter Nicole is a student here in Mrs.Leonardis' kindergarten class. Students in the primary grades worked together to write poster-sized letters to the veterans. The posters were hung throughout the library.
First Family Game Night Held
Our first PTA Family Game Night of the year for grades kindergarten and first was held last week. With close to 200 people in attendance, it was a fun-filled night. A great selection of books were given out to our young participants.
Turkey Trot Raises Nearly $3,000 for Charity
All students bundled up and braved the chilly weather for the 12th Annual Turkey Trot held on November 4. In addition to teaching lessons to the students on thankfulness and becoming physically fit, the event raised $2,917.65 for Sophie's Giving Tree, a charitable organization created in the memory of Stonehedge student Sophie Kawejsza.
HEDGE Awards Recognize Students
November, the month of Thanksgiving, is a time for thankfulness, when we focus our thoughts on the many reasons for being thankful. Thank you to Mrs. Carrington and Mrs. Prosser's students for presenting at the assembly. As adults, we know how important it is to be grateful for the things that we have and the special people in our lives. The bulletin board display in the front hallway is full of things our second graders are thankful for. Be sure to check it out!
Congratulations to our Hedge Award recipients for the month of October. Thank you to these students for showing respect to others!

Report cards go home this Friday, Nov. 15. This will be a good time to talk with students about their progress and set academic goals for the next marking period. Parent - teacher conferences are scheduled for Nov. 25-26. This will be a half day for students with a dismissal time of 11:30 a.m. on both days. We look at conferences as an opportunity to discuss your child's overall development and to foster a positive home/school partnership. We focus on collaboration all in an effort to ultimately affect student progress. If you are not scheduled for a conference, please contact your child's teacher to secure a time.
