Attention SAS, Introducing . . .

Run Like a Girl

Spring 2012

What is it?

A club just for 4th and 5th Grade girls to enhance self esteem through running!

What will we do?

We will talk, laugh, learn about ourselves and all the things that make us special, all while training to run and then running an all girl 5K!

Why?

Because running is a great way to have fun, get healthy, and learn how strong you really are!

Will it just be running?

No! Along with running we have lots of games, activities, and discussions all about the things that are affecting young girls. Some of our topics include; bullying, gossip, making healthy decisions, standing up for myself, healthy body image and more!

Why a 5K?

Because you can!

Do I have to be able to run fast?

No! Our final 5K is not a competitive race, but a celebration of what we can do when we work hard and dedicate ourselves to something. Run Like a Girl is not about being the fastest runner – it is about being your best self and appreciating how special you are!

When?

Tuesdays and Fridays – starting April 10 and ending with our very own 5K on Saturday, June 2nd!

Time and Place?

On the track, right after school until 4:15. Girls will take the 4:30 Activity Bus home – not the ES ASA bus.

How do I sign up?

Have your parents fill out the attached sheet (I will also e mail it to you) and turn it into your teacher before March 28. Space is limited – register early!

Time for a Spring Clean (maybe it will help bring on some Spring weather)

It’s that time of the year, so get your spring cleaning started early because the Orphanage Club’s Annual Yard Sale is just around the corner! Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, March 19, 20, and 21 are the big days (8:00-2:30 daily in main hallway by the pool). Gently used clothes, toys, games, and other items that could use a “new home” are welcome. Drop off your “sale-able” items in the boxes outside the High School Counseling Office, the cafeteria, and Elementary Library no later than Thursday, March 15.

Student Led Conferences on April 12th and 13th

SAS elementary school is pleased to announce that we will be holding Student Led Conferences on April 12th and 13th. This means that you and your child will attend the conference together. Student Led Conferences will provide your child the opportunity to showcase his/her accomplishments, reflect on their learning, and to practice their oral communication skills. Teachers will only be observers during this conference and provide guidance if necessary.

Time slots will be scheduled for one hour for each conference, but the conferences may vary from 30 to 45 minutes depending upon the child and grade level. In general you may plan on spending approximately 30 minutes in your child’s classroom and then proceed to visit specialist classrooms as well.  Your conference schedule will be sent home on March 23rd.  Any requests for change must be made directly to classroom teachers before April 6th.

Thursday, April 12th from 12:15-5:15

Friday, April 13th from 12:15-4:15

Thank you for your partnership & I look forward to seeing you again soon!
