Good evening Sloan Creek Parents,

It has been quite the week at Sloan.  I am happy to announce that we raised close to $920 for breast cancer awareness, and then had a very generous donor get us to $1,000.  I am so proud of the heart of our kids. 

We also had such a fun week with our Red Ribbon themes.  I loved seeing the students dress up and learn about the importance of being drug free.  

Lastly, we celebrated our school marshall and Mr. Kuneman for Heart of Support and Heart of a Teacher.  I continue to be amazed by the incredible teachers and support staff that we have at Sloan Creek. 

I cannot wait to see the wonderful costumes on Monday.  As a gentle reminder, we are not allowing masks or props. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday.  I am looking forward to seeing some of our 6th graders perform in Willy Wonka over the weekend. 

Lovejoy Proud,

Courtney Halpin

Character Trait- Caring 

 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 focused on responsibility, accountability for one’s actions and dependability. This second 9 weeks we will be focusing on Caring. We will discuss how characteristics of caring impacts personal relationships. Each student will evaluate his/her own personal attitudes and mindsets about self and others. We will discuss how feelings, decision making, and personal behaviors can influence relationships with others, and explain and identify examples of how a person can demonstrate empathy through kindness, charity, generosity, and courtesy.

Continuing with the discussion at home will help students identify ways that they can show concern and empathy for others. Thank you for partnering with us!

October is National Principals Month

Please take a moment to send a note written by you or your child to Mrs. Halpin to let her know how much we appreciate her at SCIS. Her leadership has had such a impact on our students.

Lovejoy Letter Campaign

It’s that time of year again to celebrate our amazing teachers and staff with our Lovejoy Letter Writing Campaign! Many of you are familiar with this beloved tradition, but for those of you who are not, it is the time of year when current and past students and parents write appreciation letters for each of our teachers and staff members across the district.

The letters do not have to be elaborate or lengthy. The goal is just for people to write a note of thanks to show gratitude to their teachers, the staff and administration in our district. It is an opportunity for us to take the time to let each person who makes a difference for us throughout the school day know how much we value them.

Over the next two weeks we will be accepting note card donations. You can drop them off in the donation bin in the front office of SCIS. Please sign up to donate using the link below.

Note Card Donation Sign up

Starting October 31, you can drop off you letters to the donation bin in the SCIS front office.

Please clearly label the envelope with the staff/teacher’s name and LLC (Lovejoy Letter Campaign) and return the letter to the box located in the designated area at your school no later than Friday November 11th.

The letter writing campaign has become such a meaningful tradition in our district. We really appreciate your time and effort to help us tell our teachers and staff thank you for all that they do!
