Sullivan Scoop

January 18, 2019
Hello, Sullivan Families,

Happy New Year! We have had an action packed two weeks at Sullivan, and you can see some of the highlights in the photos throughout the newsletter. As we move into the second half of the school year, our teachers and students have been busy reflecting on their work thus far, as well as setting goals for the rest of the school year. Our students discussed their personal and academic goals, and what it would take to achieve them. As a staff, this week we also talked about our goals for the rest of the year and thought about a word that would remind us to remove any barriers to achieving them.

Speaking of goals, it is not too late to help the Sullivan Ambassadors reach their fundraising goal! We are looking forward to hosting the Dance A Thon at Sullivan next Wednesday! The event is at capacity with over 200 students from Ike, Ross, and Sullivan attending. Even if you are not attending, you can still help by donating! As of yesterday, we have raised over $1300, but we are still well short of our goal of $8000. Proceeds from the fundraiser go towards our yearly summer camp scholarship for D23 students, as well as to help build a vocational training center in Haiti.

Have a great long weekend!

Warmly,

Traci Meziere

ProKids Assembly

This Tuesday, Sullivan students enjoyed the ProKids Assembly.
The students responded to the positive messages and the connections to our PBIS expectations, as well as to our work with Growth Mindset and goal setting.

Thank you, EPTO for sponsoring this worthwhile learning experience!
Our students did a wonderful job creating a video to promote the Dance a Thon, as well as running the assembly.
