Comet Shop: The
Comet Shop will be open starting Tuesday, September 5. We will open every Tuesday during lunch periods. We will have school supplies, spirit wear, and lots of other items available. All proceeds go directly to the school.
Message from the PTO President: A big "Thank You" to all the families that joined us for the PTO meeting this past Thursday. As PTO president, I greatly appreciate the effort made by those parents that came out on a work/school night and took an interest in what is happening at SBCS. Some came alone, some came with spouses, some came with kids, some were familiar and some were new to our school. The room was attentive and enthusiastic.
Please remember that attending the PTO meetings is a great way to stay connected with things happening in the school and it also counts as an hour towards your volunteer hours. If you missed our meeting please be sure to check your emails as the meeting notes will be sent via your classroom reps. We'd love to see you at next month's meeting on Thursday, September 14. All are welcome to attend!
The PTO is still in search of room reps for JK, 2nd, 4th, 6th and 7th grades. If you are interested in being a representative for your child's class please visit
www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0e45ada623a0f94-sbcs to learn about the responsibilities and to sign up.
