Dear Siwanoy Families, 

 

We have another exciting and enriching week in the books! This month there has been much to celebrate between the Jewish Holidays, Indigenous People Day, Columbus Day, Breast Cancer Awareness, Italian Heritage, Hispanic Heritage, Filipino Heritage, ADHD Awareness, Bullying Prevention, Unity Day, Dyslexia Awareness, and Halloween. Every day during the school announcements, we recognize each by incorporating a cool fact about the day/month. It is safe to say that October is a busy month.

These type of announcements continue throughout the school year and continue to make our students the well rounded individuals they are. We look forward to another great week ahead! Have a great weekend.

Sincerely,
Farid Johnson

There is a decorated box in the hallway of the top floor, under the bulletin boards.

 

Collections are ongoing through November 25th.  This is a prelude to our Siwanoy Serves initiative which will be hats, mittens & coats for The Sharing Shelf beginning after Halloween.

We are hoping to collect even more than last year and we are so grateful for your contributions.
