Weekend Update May 7th

I'd like to wish all our Stonehedge Families a fantastic weekend and the most lovely Sunday for Mother's Day. 

In the Near Future:

Tuesday, May 18 - Budget Vote - 6:00 am - 9:00 pm - WGHS Auditorium Lobby

Wednesday, May 19 - Board of Education Meeting - WGHS Library

Looking Way Ahead…

Mark your calendar!  The Board of Education has approved two additional days for Memorial Day weekend.  As long as we do not have any more snow days (fingers crossed!), we will have no school on Friday, May 28 and Tuesday, June 1, 2021. 

Important Information:

Free National Park Service Passes

Every fourth grade student is eligible to receive a FREE National Park Service's (NPS) Every- Kid- in-a Park pass. NYS will accept this pass for free vehicle entry admission (with the fourth grader present) for all of their State Parks in 2021. Therefore, the student and anyone in the vehicle will have free entry. This pass is also accepted at state historic sites for the fourth grade student and up to three adults.

West Genesee Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council

As you may have read in the Superintendent’s Message from February 26th, there is an opportunity for all members of our community to come together as members of the West Genesee Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council. The council recognizes the need to listen to the voices, experiences, and perspectives of people from diverse backgrounds in order to advance the council's mission and help all members of our community achieve success. This council is open to all members of our community. If you are interested in joining, please fill out this Google form and a member of the team will contact you directly. 

 

Positivity Project: Humor

Humor is a sense of playfulness and lightness. It is a way of looking at and describing the world that brings laughter to people. A person with the strength of humor is skilled at seeing at the funny side of things, bringing smiles and laughter to others, and identifying and communicating the

absurdities in life. People with this strength don’t specifically need to be joke tellers, although many are. Humor can also have a dark side, depending on how it’s used. Some humor is mean spirited and bullying. The strength of humor that the character strength focuses on is that which raises the spirits of other people.

Please support our PTA!  

Wednesday May 26 - 6:30 - 7:30 - Stonehedge Library - This is a general meeting and all are welcomed.  As I mentioned last week, we are really in need of more volunteers to support our PTA.  Please consider joining us.
