Hello SAPMS Families!
What a wild week we have had. I hope this note finds you all safe and dry after the storm. Many of our families were affected by Hurricane Matthew. We even have a few students displaced. If your family needs help in any way, please do not hesitate to ask us for resources. Our community is strong. The Upper Elementary students will be taking this opportunity for community service, each day identifying another area to assist. We also have resources to larger equipment, food services and man(woman) power to help in any way.
We have our Crisper's Spirit Day coming up October 23rd, a large percent of your purchase will come back to our school. This Spirit opportunity is ALL day Sunday. Our Parent Education night is rescheduled for October 25th, 6pm at school. We will be discussing how to implement Montessori in your family- bridging the gap between school and home.
Each family is required to serve 20 volunteer hours per child per year. We have lots of volunteer opportunities to fit your style and schedule. Make sure to log your hours in the book on the front table in the office. Not completing the 20 service hours is grounds for dismissal from SAPMS for upcoming years.
Anecdotal narrative mid-term reports will be sent home next Friday, the 21st. An anecdotal narrative will give you an idea of how your child is performing in the classroom, their strengths and any areas that need some extra awareness.
Many thanks to the families that have provided clean up to our school, lunches and housing for our displaced students and the offer of anything from laundry to babysitting- every little bit helps. As always, thank you for your continued support.
Blessings!

St Augustine Makers Fest
|
It's been a tough season for St. Augustine. We have been hit very hard. But we can all see that the community of St. Augustine is pulling together on a daily basis and will emerge stronger than before.
In that spirit, we want to let everyone know that we are moving forward with our St. Augustine Maker's Fest. Our local artists and makers need a venue now more than ever. We need to highlight their talent, work and dedication by supporting them, both in spirit and monetarily. This not only benefits our school but also our local economy as a whole.
Let's work together by continuing to spread the word about the St. Augustine Maker's Fest. We can lean on each other a little more in an entertaining, educational and engaging way by making sure we all back this inspirational, exciting local event.
