Hello Stenwood Families,
Today is the last day of the 3rd quarter! We are so proud of how much our Stingers have learned this year despite lots of weather interruptions during 2nd and 3rd quarter.
This week, our 6th graders travelled to Gettysburg for their field trip and our 3rd graders showcased their inventor skills with their simple machines. We love seeing all of the inventive solutions to our everyday problems!
We had our March Hive Family meetings today. If you have a 5th or 6th grader, you can ask them what they shared with their Hive Family. If you have a younger Stinger, you can ask them what their big buddies brought to share! We did many different activities and it was so fun to see all the creative ways that our Hive Families shared interests!
Our very own, Ms. Flynn will be on the Wheel of Fortune on Monday! Feel free to tune in and cheer her on!
We wish all our Stingers a wonderful Spring Break next week. Remember that Spring Break is from Monday, March 30th to Monday, April 6th; we look forward to having our students return for the 4th quarter after Spring Break on Tuesday, April 7th. Our office will be closed March 30 – April 3.

New Crossing Guard Location
As many of you have noticed, we now have a crossing guard at Kiss N Ride. We are so grateful as we have been requesting this for many years. Please be mindful of the crossing guard and follow their directions. They have also been provided a copy of the Kiss N Ride map and know that families are expected to only turn right into Kiss N Ride and right out of Kiss N Ride. Kiss N Ride closes at 8:38 as all students need to be in their seats at 8:40, please plan accordingly.
Elementary Early Release Wednesday Update for April
Tuesday, April 21st, is now a teacher workday and staff development day because of a recently announced special election that will impact all FCPS schools.
Students will have a traditional full day of instruction and be released at the regular dismissal time on April 22nd, which was previously an early release Wednesday for elementary schools.
Read Dr. Reid’s letter to elementary parents for more details.
The Spring Book Fair is Coming!
 |
|
This fundraiser for the library will be April 17-24th. Students will be able to browse the book fair, make wish lists, and then purchase books for themselves and/or their teachers. But before all this can happen - we need volunteers to help out! |
Please consider signing up for a slot or two, book fair is a wonderful opportunity to meet other parents, get a sneak peek at the books, and just have an all-around good time. As always, please contact Mrs. Cole with any questions you might have. Sign up to volunteer here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/805044DA8AC2DA46-63164868-stenwood
