Dear Families,

It was another fun week of learning and laughter here at Sells!

Spring sports are well underway, highlighted by a big win from our boys lacrosse team. We also celebrated our spring athletes at today’s ROCK Rally. Congratulations to Silver House for winning the Tug-of-War and to Emerald House for earning the Spirit Stick!

Our classrooms were buzzing with engaging learning experiences, including group projects, feng shui design, Moonphase Madness, and lessons exploring cause and effect.

A huge shout-out to our PTO parents for organizing the Sells Dance. Please see below for details and consider volunteering to help make it a fun and memorable evening for our students. I will be sending a separate email later this week with additional information once everything is finalized. Stay tuned!

Wishing everyone a happy, safe, and healthy Spring Break!

With ROCK Pride,

We are excited to begin planning our upcoming Sellsabration community event on April 30, and we are looking for parents and community volunteers to help make this event special!

We would love to celebrate the diverse cultures in our community through activities such as henna art, origami, traditional foods, music, dance, and traditional fashion or clothing from your heritage. You’re also welcome to share other meaningful cultural experiences! Your involvement helps create a rich and memorable event for our students.

If you are interested in volunteering, sharing, or participating, please contact Heather DeWees at dewees_heather@dublinschools.net

Additionally, we will hold a raffle at the end of the evening! Our teachers and local businesses are helping gather exciting prizes for our school community.

If you or a business you know would be interested in donating a raffle item, please contact Kristen Bennett at bennett_kristen@dublinschools.com.

Donating businesses will be recognized with event signage visible to hundreds of Sells families — thank you for helping us make this celebration special!

WE NEED YOU! This is going to be an amazing event, but to make it safe and fun, we need YOU to join us! Please sign up TODAY to volunteer! YOU will help to make this evening the success for our kids that we all want it to be!

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.

Follow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/sellsmspto for up-to-date information about everything that we have going on and how you can get involved!

Spring Break is March 30 - April 3

Next week is Spring Break! Whether you and your family are planning a staycation or a trip away, we hope you enjoy time with family, friends and doing something you enjoy.
