School Lunch Account

We want to ensure every child is well fed and happy at school. Please be mindful to keep money loaded on your child's myschoolbucks account for breakfast and lunch. The school has to fund children's meals once accounts start getting into the negative. If you need financial assistance, please visit this county link to apply for aid.

Transportation Change

When you need to change transportation for your child during the day, please be sure to send an email by 1:15 pm to SES-SHARONATTENDANCE@FORSYTH.K12.GA.US to allow us sufficient time to process the change request and communicate with the teachers. Thank you for your help in this matter

Knight United Fundraising Results

Thank you to each and every family that participated and donated to the Knights Unite Fundraiser. The initiatives for extra recess, sliming staff and popsicle party ended last week, however, you can donate anytime throughout the year.

We came so close to hitting our goal of $26,000 and raised $23,998!! This spared the staff from getting slimed which I'm sure they appreciated.

5th grade had the most participation with 38 families donating earning them extra recess.

Mrs. Wilson's class got the highest class participation percentage with 48%!

Cultural Night

Save the date for this year's Cultural Night, Taste of Sharon edition!!! Join us on October 6th from 6-8 pm for an amazing night to learn about countries around the world, watch some incredible Sharon talent, and taste cuisines from all around the world! This year's FREE event will bring even more food and fun, with local restaurants bringing the world's fare to straight to the Knight's Round Table!

Fifth Grade Bundle

Fifth grade is a major milestone, and we want to make sure our Sharon Elementary students finish strong with memories that last a lifetime.

The Sharon Elementary PTO will be organizing several fun, meaningful events to celebrate our 5th graders all year long. But with limited district funding that doesn’t cover these extras, we rely on support from our families to make it all happen.

To streamline planning and ensure every student can take part, we’re asking each fifth grader to contribute a $60 activity fee for the year. It covers:

• A custom 5th Grade T-Shirt
• 5th Grade Breakfast
• Winter Luncheon
• Graduation Lunch
• Knight Nation Send-Off (End-of-the-Year Celebration)
• Graduation Facility Use

Spirit Nights

Each month, PTO has at least 1 Spirit Night where we partner with a local restaurant or venue. A portion of food and activity sales go back towards the PTO to help fund and support our school, students, teachers, administration and staff. We hope to see you there!

Mark your calendars, Red Robin Spirit Night will be on September 23rd!
