Hello, Sullivan Families,
It is hard to believe this is the last newsletter of the year. The older I get, it becomes more and more apparent that the days are long but the years are short! Saying goodbye to our 5th graders is always bittersweet, and today was no exception. There was lots of laughter and tears today as we enjoyed a beautiful Field Day, our lunchtime picnic, and the slideshow this afternoon. It has been an honor to get to know your students and work with them this year.
We look forward to welcoming our 4th grade students back next year as 5th graders, and getting to know the students joining Sullivan from Ross. Next year, we are unveiling a NEW mascot and logo for Sullivan, along with new incentives and recognition tied to our PBIS program. Look for more information on this in August!
Don't forget to READ this summer! In May, our students were able to kick off summer reading early with the 2019 Scholastic Read-a-Palooza Summer Reading Challenge! Students learned all about the challenge and made pledges to read a certain number of minutes this summer. As students across the country read and reach certain collective minute goals, Scholastic will donate books to kids in need. The challenge runs for 18 weeks, from May 6 until September 6.
Students can track their minutes by logging into the website and recording their minutes read each week. They can earn badges as they go, and those who reach their goal each week can enter to win the Mystery Finale Prize! What did your child pledge? Ask them about their pledge sheet and find out! As of today, Sullivan students have already read 51,173 minutes for a great jump start on their summer reading. Click on this

Enjoy this precious summer break time with your children. I am looking forward to spending time with my teenagers this July as we travel overseas for the first time as a family. We will be ready to welcome your children back to school in August!
Warmly,
