Do Something Special this Superbowl
Our PTA's annual Soup-Er Bowl food drive will take place next week, February 1-5. There will be two collection boxes in each lobby, one for the Broncos and one for the Panthers. Have your child bring in soup, non-perishable food, or toiletry items and put them in the box for the team who they think will win the Superbowl. At the end of the week, we’ll add up how many items were donated in each box and crown a Stonehedge Souper Bowl champion!
The true winner will be the Camillus community. The generous donations will go to our local food pantries and our Stonehedge families in need.
Last year's Soup-er Bowl was a great success! Let's see if we can outdo ourselves this year!!
Take Advantage of Field Trips over February Break
By now, you should have seen some flyers in your child's folder about field trips taking place over February recess (February 15-19).
One opportunity is through the District's own transportation department. On February 17, your child is invited to enjoy a trip to see Alvin and the Chipmunks at the Hollywood Movie Theater in Mattydale. The cost is $15 and includes movie ticket, small popcorn, and small soda. It will also include a lunch served at West Genesee Middle School upon return. Please see flyer for more information.
Another option is through the Town of Camillus Department of Parks and Recreation. They provide a different field trip each day of break for students in grades K - 5. Information can be found on the flyer or at www.camillusrecreation.com .
Don't forget, there is a half-day of school on Friday, January 29. Dismissal is at 11:30 a.m.
