We are thrilled to highlight a wonderful initiative that brings extra warmth to our school community: Coffee Fridays, proudly hosted by our Autistic Support classrooms!

Every Friday morning, our amazing students step into the role of baristas who hand deliver coffee for school staff. This program is far more than a convenient caffeine fix for our staff—it also allows students to take part in meaningful interactions and build confidence! By delivering drinks with a smile, our students are gaining invaluable real-world experience.

Thank you to the staff and students who work so hard to make our Fridays something to look forward to!

I’m so excited to announce that our school will be hosting a Scholastic Book Fair! The fair will take place from Monday, November 9th to Thursday, November 12th in the library. It’s one of the most anticipated events of the school year for students—but we need volunteers to make it happen. Your help is crucial in making the Fair a truly unforgettable experience for our children. We hope you’ll consider offering your time and talents to get it running!

If you’re available to lend a hand at this upcoming event, please sign up here.

Also, check out our Fair's website here.

Thank you and I'll see you at the Fair!

Our Picture Retake Day is scheduled for Tuesday, November 10. This day is for any child who was absent on the original picture day or wants to get a picture retaken. Any student getting a retake must return the original package on retake day. If you are not satisfied with your child’s school photo and would like a retake, please email Mrs. Malley at kmalley@soudertonsd.org and she will add your child to the schedule. If you need another payment envelope, please let her know as well and one will be sent home. The payment envelopes are good until November 10. Lifetouch is not able to receive late payments after November 10.

Students who were absent on picture day can either purchase online or with the payment envelope. If anyone was absent on the original day and already purchased, their packages will automatically be printed.

To order online, go to the Lifetouch website. Your picture ID is EVTP9V7KS. All packages taken on Retake Day will be shipped to the school.
