Birthday Book Stars

Sharon Elementary’s Birthday Book Star program is what funds our ability to offer our students at least one author visit each year. It’s also a fantastic opportunity to celebrate your child’s birthday while contributing to our school library! If you'd like to participate, go to SchoolPay.com to register your child. During your child's birth month, they choose a brand-new library book and help decide where to place a dedication label inside the book. They also have their picture taken, with their chosen book, and their birthday star hangs on our hallway bulletin board, outside the library, all month. At the end of the month, the star is sent home with your child.

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 17th!
