Stonehedge Elementary Eyeglass Drive

Stonehedge Elementary is sponsoring an eyeglass drive for the Solvay-Geddes-Camillus Lions Club.   If you should have any used/old eyeglasses and would like to donate them, please send them in to school with your child and they can be dropped off at the Health Office.  The eyeglass drive will be held through Friday, November 19, 2021.  Any donation would be greatly appreciated and will make a change in someone's life.

Positivity Project:

Creativity

Creativity is this week's character strength focus. Creativity means you come up with new and original ideas to think about and do things. I am looking forward to seeing how creative students can be when decorating their classroom door in a Fun Fall Frenzy theme!  For more information on creativity, click here.

Unity Day

Thank you to those who remembered to wear orange to celebrate Unity Day.  Even if your child did not wear orange, the most important thing to remember on Unity Day is that we celebrate kindness, acceptance, and including everyone.  Every day is a new opportunity to wake up and ask yourself, how am I going to be kind today?  How am I going to include others in my learning and in my play?  How can I show others that they are wonderful just the way they are?  That is what Unity Day is all about.
