Stonybrook School Weekly Update #14

December has been a busy month at Stonybrook. From our Holiday Winter Concerts to our 3rd-Grade Traditions Around the World Presentations to learning how to make Latkes, our students have been engaged in several different activities. The last week of December will bring a few more 3rd-Grade classroom presentations, class parties, and special events each day for our staff and students.

Our Stonybrook Student Council members have been collecting donations for their St. Joseph's Hospital Toy Drive and Hugs from Hayden over the past few weeks.

Student Council members also collected toys and items for Hugs From Hayden. These items included holiday gifts/toiletries such as dish detergent, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, toothpaste, kids toothpaste, kids Band-Aids, art sets, board games, and Barbie's.

Thank you to all of our families for your generosity and for making this Toy Drive a huge success!

This week we held our Holiday Winter Concerts for our 3rd, 4th and 5th Grade choir as well as for our 5th Grade Band students. Their performances were amazing! Thank you to Mrs. Sulling and Mr. Tedesco for putting together two wonderful concerts. Thank you to our students who did an amazing job and Thank you to all of our families that attended!

This week our students had the opportunity to shop at the Holiday Gift Shoppe! Thank you to KEHSA and to all of our parent volunteers for making the Holiday Shoppe so enjoyable for our students.
