Friday, September 8th Message

Happy Friday, Sharks!

It has been a pretty eventful week here at Sutherland. Jazz Band auditions, a PTO meeting, and last night’s Back to School Night were just a few of this week’s events. It was great to see so many of you last night at Back to School Night. Thank you to those of you who spent the evening with us. We will post the slides from last night on the SMS website. Hopefully, everyone made it to class and got a chance to hear from your child’s teachers. A huge shout out to the PTO last night as they kept our staff well fed for the evening. You all are amazing! A few blurbs before we get to the news.

Next week, we have our first dance of the year. For those who are new, the dance runs from 4 – 6 PM. Anyone staying for the dance will stay in their fourth block class until after the buses roll out and the walkers leave the building. We then open up half of the cafeteria for the dance and the other half for food and snacks. The theme for this dance is a White Out dance, which simply means to try and wear white (not actual white out). Students are not allowed to leave the dance before 6:00 unless a parent comes inside to get them. We ask that parents make sure your child has a ride promptly at 6:00 PM. Students will exit from the cafeteria side of the building. Cost for a ticket is $5.00 and will be available at lunch next Friday.

Also, be on the lookout next week for sign-ups for Parent/Teacher Conferences coming in October. We will post that next week on Tuesday. We have a bunch of announcements below, so that’s it for this week. Have a terrific weekend!
