Hello Sloan Creek Families,

I don't know about you, but I am sure happy for the cool crisp fall mornings. I am ready for the summer heat to take a break!

Our 5th graders are learning about the American Revolution and the Conflict with Britain. To say they are getting into it is an understatement. At lunch today, Queen Heth, Queen Owens and King Rohlmeier made an appearance to collect tax on sugar items. They were greeted with the loudest booing I have ever heard. It is so fun to see the learning in play. 

6th Grade RLA students wrote their own Cinderella stories this week. It is so interesting to see their unique story lines and how they take an old story and make it modern. 

We hope to see you at 9:00 AM in the Library for the SAGE coffee tomorrow morning. 

I hope you have an amazing end to the week. Thank you for sharing your kiddos with us!

Character Trait - Responsibility

We will be focusing on a Character Trait each 9 weeks during our guidance lessons and our Monday Classroom Conversations. The first nine weeks we have been focusing on Responsibility, accountability for one’s actions; dependability. A way to support their learning at home is to have your child make a list of their responsibilities at home and school. Then have them choose two responsibilities they could do a better job on. Help your child make a plan for improving. We believe that Sloan Creek is a bridge between the dependence on parents and teachers in elementary school and the independence needed in middle school. Building the student’s responsibility at school and home will help them with their self esteem and confidence. Thank you for partnering with us! 

Spirit Wear - NEW

We know many families have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of our Spirit wear and we are thrilled to announce that IT HAS ARRIVED! Orders will start coming home in your student's backpack this Friday, September 30th. If you have placed an order and DO NOT have a current student at SCIS, you may pick up your order in the front office starting the week of Monday, October 3rd. We appreciate your patience and support! Please stay tuned for NEW cool weather Spirit wear!

SAGE Coffee - THIS WEEK

Lovejoy Theatre Presents: All In The Timing

Lovejoy High School Theatre is thrilled to present their production of All in The Timing, by David Ives. The show will be performed on September 30 and October 1, 2022 at 7:00 pm. 

Wit, intellect, satire and just plain fun! This production features nine diverse and interesting one-act comedies. They range from the sentimental to the absurd, but are all equally hysterical. Every scene focuses on the way that people utilize language, and deconstruct the perspectives people have on life and meaning. 

All in the Timing uses inspired language and word play to examine various attempts at relationships and communication with comical results.  It will push your smart buttons, tease your brain, and tickle your heart!

Tickets are $7 for students, seniors and staff, and $10 for adults. Tickets will be on sale beginning September 19 at the online box office at https://tinyurl.com/LHSBoxOffice22-23. 

Join us for an evening of laughter and an experience that breaks all the rules of Theatre. Come join us for All In The Timing at the Lovejoy High School Auditorium at: 2350 Estates Parkway, Lucas, Texas.
