CANDY GRAMS The fourth graders are once again selling candy grams to raise money for their spring field trip to Raleigh! Be on the lookout for a sales table February 2nd to 6th before school (7:30-8:00am) and during lunch. In addition, you can purchase individual ($1 each) or class-wide ($25) candy grams online anytime now through Feb. 11th! All candy grams will be delivered on the 13th. This fundraiser helps ensure every fourth grade scholar has the opportunity to attend their field trip. |
100th DAY OF SCHOOL All scholars are invited to join principal Legra in celebrating the 100th Day of School on Tuesday, February 10 by dressing up as a 100-year-old—or wearing a Shamrock spirit shirt! |
YEARBOOK ADS ON SALE SOON! Yearbook ads will be on sale February 2nd-27th. Pricing is as follows: $50: Half-page Congratulatory Ad for 5th graders only $25: Quarter-page Shout-Out Ad for any scholar
In addition, 2025-’26 SGE yearbooks will go on sale March 2nd-31st. Unfortunately, the school is not able to provide free yearbooks for scholars or staff. However, the PTA has a Yearbook Fund that helps get extra yearbooks into the hands of those who cannot afford them. There are two ways families can contribute to the Yearbook Fund:
1. Yearbook ad sales! All ad money goes directly into the Yearbook Fund. 2. Gift a yearbook: When yearbooks go on sale, there will be an option to gift yearbook(s) to scholars in need (like last year). Please note that the PTA cannot guarantee that every scholar will get a yearbook even with the Yearbook Fund assistance. However, the PTA works directly with school leadership to distribute extra yearbooks as prudently as possible. |
Shop our final spirit wear online store of the 2025-2026 school year! Tie dye shirts, full zip jackets, and a new Lucky the Dragon design are included in this store. Shop the online store until 2/15 when orders close. We'll be back with more designs this summer. If you have any questions or suggestions on upcoming spirit wear, please reach out to sgespiritwearshop@gmail.com. |

LUCKY'S LIBRARY
At least one parent/guardian is needed each morning before school on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to manage Lucky's Library and help scholars pick out free books. Lucky's Library (a magical place!) is visited by scholars who have read a certain amount of minutes each week and are eligible to select a book to keep as a reward for reading. It's the perfect volunteer opportunity to knock out before work or an otherwise busy day! Sign up here. 📣 Calling 1st & 2nd Grade Parents — Volunteers Needed! 📣 We’re looking for 1st and 2nd grade parent volunteers to help teachers with Thursday Folders. Sending home Thursday folders is a weekly commitment, and your help would make a big difference by taking this task off our teachers’ plates. It’s a simple but impactful way to support the classroom and our school community. If you’re able to help, we’d love to have you—thank you for considering! 💚📁 Sign up here.
