Stonehedge Stands Proud for our Special Olympians

Today, several of our students took part in the Special Olympics held at the Cicero-North Syracuse High School.  Upon their arrival, students were met with cheers of encouragement and then took part in a parade around the stadium to kick off the festivities. Students competed in a variety of track and field events and returned with several ribbons for their accomplishments. 

Once they arrived back at Stonehedge, our athletes were again met with cheers of encouragement, but this time by Stonehedge students and staff. Classmates made signs and cheered as the parade traveled throughout the hallways. Congratulations to all our athletes for a job well done and to our student body for this display of love and compassion for each other. You allmake us so proud!

Dishing up the fun at the PTA Ice Cream Social and Stonehedge Open House

Last night Stonehedge held its annual Spring Open House and Ice Cream Social. Our attendance was amazing!  Thank you to students and teachers for the unbelievable display of student work! All were very proud to share what they have learned and what they have created. It's always a wonderful night as I watch students explain their projects and provide a tour of their classroom. Many grandparents were also an important part of the evening sharing their love of learning with their grandchildren. 

Thank you to our PTA for coordinating and sponsoring the Ice Cream Social part of our evening. Enjoy the photos included! 

Dozens of volunteers including Kohl's Cares volunteers, parents, and middle and high school students helped to dish up the fun at the Ice Cream Social and Open House.

Families stopped in the art room to view the pieces showcased there. The same pieces were recently on display in Maxwell Library.

HEDGE Award winners announced
Congratulations to our HEDGE Award winners for the month of May. During the character education assembly, students were treated to a performance from the fifth grade jump rope club. Members of the club dedicated themselves to practicing jump roping and came early to school many times over several months to hone their skills. Club advisers Mr. Shoults and Mrs. Barbuto discussed perseverance with the audience and how the fifth grade jump rope club members  exemplified determination and perseverance.

Thinking Ahead to Student Placement for 2014-2015

It’s hard to believe that we have already begun to think about student placement for next year. Teachers work diligently throughout this process to create well-balanced classrooms by considering many factors.  Requests for a specific teacher are not accepted.  However, if you have additional information about your child’s personality or learning style that you would like taken into consideration during this process, please send a letter directly to me no later than Friday, May 23. If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact me directly.

Please remember that Friday, May 16 is a half-day. Dismissal is at 11:30 a.m. We encourage students to ride the bus!

Please remember that the West Genesee School District budget vote will be this Tuesday, May 20 at the high school. Click here to learn more. 

Cockroaches, pill bugs, and guppies oh, my!

First grade students have been studying living versus non-living things in classes. They have been able to get up close with living things like cockroaches, pill bugs, guppies, and more.

Thank you and enjoy your weekend,

Lori
