Sudlersville Elementary

Fall is such a wonderful time of year — the air is cooler, the leaves are changing, and pumpkins are ripe for picking! We hope your family is enjoying the start of the season.

First, a big thank you to all families who attended enrollment appointments and completed the beginning-of-year process. Our playgroups are off to a fantastic start! A special shout-out to Ms. Jana for doing such an amazing job preparing the classroom — everyone is loving the new furniture, early learning materials, and thoughtful classroom design. Way to go, Ms. Jana!

We’re excited to share that we have a season full of fun events and learning opportunities planned for our families:

🎨 This month’s playgroup theme is “Colors” as part of our Frog Street curriculum.

🗓️ October 6 | 4:00–5:00 PM
Join us for our very first Family Advisory Council meeting. Your input helps guide our program and strengthen our community.
Immediately following the meeting, we’ll kick off our first Learning Camp session, led by Amanda Ensor from It Takes A Village, LLC. This session will focus on expanding our “Science of Reading” efforts. Children are welcome and will enjoy engaging, center-based activities while adults participate in the Learning Camp.

🎶 October 13 | 9:00–10:00 AM
Get moving with Music & Movement led by Ms. Amanda from Choptank Community Health. It's a great opportunity for fun and physical development!
