Sells eNews

Dear Families,

We had a fantastic week at Sells filled with engaging learning and exciting experiences for our students! Congratulations to all of our students for giving their very best effort on the OST. We are proud of you!

In Prepared for Success classes, students explored potential career pathways and continued thinking about their futures. Our STEAM classes brought learning to life as students designed, built, and raced robotic cars; there was a lot of creativity and energy in those classrooms! Our 8th graders are also gearing up for their Washington, D.C. trip and other upcoming field trips, adding to the excitement building across the school.

Today, there was definitely a buzz in the air as students looked forward to our Glow Party happening later this evening! If your student is attending, please remind them to be on their best behavior. We want this to be a fun, safe, and positive experience for everyone.

We wish you a fantastic weekend!

With ROCK Pride,

Katy O'Neal

To build excitement, students will also participate in a fun Spirit Week leading up to the event. We hope to see you there for an afternoon of celebration, community, and fun!

Help us Fund the FUN! Each year the PTO does things like feed teachers, host (free!) events for students, provide teacher grants, and so much more. BUT we can't do it without you! Your financial support (as well as signing up - and following through on your signup - to bring donations) allows us do to these things! Without you, none of the above can happen. If you can't make a donation, who do you know that might be able to? Do you know any businesses that might like to make a donation? We will definitely give them recognition! If you use Venmo, you can make a donation to @SellsMSPTO.
