Elementary Pre-K - 2nd Grade
What's happening in the Lower Elementary?
Here come the holidays!
So glad to finally see fall weather! We were so excited to have our annual carnival which is a standing tradition of community fellowship and fundraising. It was great to see everyone! Thank you so much for all the support you gave during carnival sales, raffle ticket sales, and Carnival evening events. Tickets were bought, candy/trinkets were purchased, games were played and the donations that you, as parents, provided for our item and ticket sales were unbelievable!
Proudly, our Sequoyah community pulled together and supported our district with this once a year fundraiser by compiling an “All Time District Carnival Record” of $79,000 in funds for our classrooms. Thank you! The love of this community is so deep and outreaching!
Parent-Teacher conferences were very successful in seeing over 80% of our parents/guardians attending. With combined teamwork of home and school, this will be a great growth year for our students.
Our Scholastic Book Fair will be November 4th through 8th. More details will be sent out.
Thanksgiving break will be November 25th – 29th (No School) .
