Round Table News 9.21

Happy Friday everyone. I have been intentional about not troubling you with major school-based fundraisers since I have been at Sharon. I planned to only ask for your help if a worthy cause came up. I believe a worthy cause is on the horizon. SPLOST funds have allowed us to update our media center and paint all of our classrooms. PTO funds are paying for us to paint our lower and upper front foyer over fall break with an updated paint scheme. I believe the rest of the school should also have an updated paint scheme but need your help to accomplish this. Please consider partnering with us in our Let the Paint Reign fundraiser to help us update our building. I'm grateful for your partnership and support!

🍴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.

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!

K4 Registration:https://forms.gle/5hXQL4Za8ySXzsZo8

Wrestling is a very demanding sport. Athletes must come and stay focused. We know kids are kids, but when an athlete fails to follow redirection cues, they may be asked to leave. We will also keep parents and other siblings in the hallway during practice. Occasionally, you will be invited in to view the progress.
