Kicking Off October and PARP

Howdy, Reading Partner! 

We are kicking off October with PTA's rootin' tootin' reading program called PARP. Previously known as Parents as
Reading Partners, PARP now stands for Pick a Reading Partner! 







We here at Stonehedge are embracing this change and have
invited many special guests into our school this month. Classrooms will be read
to by local doctors, orthodontists, librarians, business professionals,
politicians as well as our very own West Genesee administrators. We thank them
for picking us as reading partners! Remember to take 15 minutes each day to
spend reading with someone you care about. We hope you lasso lots of fabulous
books this month! 



Moreland the Magician wowed Stonehedge yesterday! He
entertained students in every grade level with captivating magic tricks,
audience participation, and stories supporting the idea that all books are
magic. He encouraged children to visit libraries, read with a partner, and read
at least 15 minutes a day.






Magician's assistant Lilly helped Moreland pull a magical scarf from his bag. 





Riley was crowned with a special balloon in honor of Dr. Seuss.





Moreland knighted Jayden.






Some other exciting PARP events include:

Open Library Nights: October 7 and October 21 from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m.

Book Fair: October 6-8 from 3 - 7 p.m.

Halloween is Just Around the Corner


The Stonehedge Halloween Parade will kick off at
10:00a.m. on Friday, October 30 beginning with our kindergarten children.
Classes will parade out of the Blue Entrance and follow the sidewalks along the
front of the building and to the bus circle. Parents may also view the parade
as it tours around the Blue playground in the back of the building. Visitors
are sure to have a great view at any point along this route. There is no need
to sign into the building to view the Halloween Parade. Look for a letter
coming home soon with more detailed information.













Don't forget to send in your Box Tops For Education! The classroom Box Top race to earn a pizza party for your
child's class is going on through November 6. Please send in all Box Tops in
an envelope/bag or on a collection sheet with your child's teachers name on it. 










Please remember there is no school on Monday, October 12 for Columbus Day.
