Hello SAPMS families!
I hope this note finds you all well.
We all have an opinion on the election and no matter which side you stand on I ask you to be mindful that our children are always listening. We want to remember that adult conversation and elements are best left for adults to discuss in private. Please instead give your children the gift of feeling safe and unaffected by adult themes.
There will be NO make up days added to our calendar, unlike St Johns County. Please refer to our calendar from the beginning of the year. SAPMS has enough instructional minutes to cover for the missed hurricane days.
Pizza Friday and Soup-er Tuesday both happen weekly. Please pay and reserve more than one week in advance, this gets tricky otherwise. The soup has been a big hit. Don't forget your spoon and bowl! If you paid for pizza this week we will forward the money for an upcoming week since there is NO school this Friday.
Thank you Kendra and Leila for filling in for Miss Sandi this week! Thank you to all of our volunteers, your help makes a HUGE difference.
When volunteering in the classroom and for field trips please keep your phone put away and be fully present for the task you are volunteering for. Our students need supervision and guidance when on field trips. As a volunteer we count on your eyes and ears to be an extension of our teacher's eyes and ears. Please keep these things in mind.
Just a reminder that we are limited on space in the classrooms. Backpacks and additional personal items should stay at home.
Hope you all enjoy the cooler weather this weekend and the extra day off.
Blessings!
Jamie

St Augustine Makers Fest

We are 4 weeks away from the Makers Fest
and there is still much to do and we need your help!
We have
Over 30 Handmade Vendors that will be showcasing and demonstrating their handmade items on December 11th! Vendor applications are now closed as we have reached capacity. The response has been overwhelming and we wish we could take
every vendor that applied but due to limited space, it was just not possible. Be sure to visit our website at
http://www.staugustinemakersfest.com/vendors-1/ to see
who's coming
a
nd tell your friends! Holiday shopping galore as well as 14 craft making stations such as decorating cupcakes and cookies, lanterns, jewelry, ornaments, mini air plant terrariums, paper crafts, puppets and more! And if that wasn't enough, we'll have craft beer, delicious food and treats, inflatables, musicians, a silent auction and a magician. It's gonna be amazing
but there is still a lot more that needs to be done in order to make this event a huge succes
s.
 Help get the word out!
Posters, flyers and cards will be distributed next week. These items will be available at pick up and we ask if you could take one or a stack and hang it up or bring it to businesses, libraries, etc. that you frequent.
Also, we have over 400 likes on our Facebook page already but we need more! Please share our event, like our page, and follow us on Instagram!
Do you know someone who would like to sponsor our event and hasn't already? We are in search of sponsorships! No donation is too small and every little bit helps!
Please share our sponsorship page:
Sponsorships will close on Friday, November 18 because we have to prepare signage, t-shirts, and promotions. Sponsors give us the ability to fund the various activities so that we will be able to generate more money the day of the event and ultimately for our school.
Silent Auction
Our silent auction volunteers are working hard visiting businesses, contacting people, collecting auction items and more but they need our help as many hands make light work! Do you frequent a business or know of someone who would like to donate to our silent auction? Every contribution helps! You can send them to our website at http://www.staugustinemakersfest.com/silent-auction/ to sign up online or collect the item and information and bring it to Sandi at the front office.
Craft Donations!
Our Little Makers Craft Stations are in need of supplies. We'll have about 14 stations and need enough items to cover at least 200-300 crafts per station! Some of these items you may have around the house or if you are able to contribute monetarily (say $5-$10 or more) to help us purchase some of these materials, that would be fabulous too to help us towards our goal.
- Mason Jars or Glass Jars for lanterns - we need a lot of these!
- Tissue Paper - Variety but would prefer holiday colors
- Silks - 12"x12" - One 50 yard silk bolt - White only
- Construction paper - various colors
- Glue - lots of glue! Glue sticks and Elmers Glue
- Fabric - Variety - holiday colors
- Fabric Ink - Black
- Popsicle Sticks
- Rubber bands
- Plastic spoons
- Markers
- Yarn - Variety of colors and textures
- Cardboard - Can be cut to 5"x7"
- Plastic Table Cloths - preferably green
- Garbage Bags - Large black bags
If you have any questions about these items or have something you think we could use but not sure if we need it, please email us at
staugustinemakersfest@gmail.com and we'll figure it out!
Please drop off these items to Sandi at the front office at your earliest convenience. Thank you!!
10' x 10' Pop Up Canopy Tents
Do you have tent that we can borrow for a day? We are in need of approx. 10 of them to be brought to the armory on morning of the event. Please email us at
staugustinemakersfest@gmail.com if you can help us out.
More Volunteers Needed!
Are you great at decorating? We have the job for you! We need volunteers to help decorate the event space. Our stage area, taproom, entrance, etc. will all need some eye candy. Sign up today and help make our space great!
We also need lots of volunteers the day of the Makers Fest to work the kids craft tables, help with set up and clean up, supervise the inflatables, work at the front entrance, and more. Lots of service hours to be had this day! Volunteers can be family members and friends too! Volunteer T-shirts will be available but we need your shirt size so please remember to include that when you sign up.
Please sign up to volunteer today at:
Thank you in advance for help and support!
