Dear Siwanoy Families, 

 

Is it really almost the end of October already? Time really does fly when you are having fun. Your children may have come home to talk to you about an awesome process that has been happening at Siwanoy this week. We have have a muralist, Sabrina, beautifying the inside of our school this week and the next. The students and staff alike are in awe of the new artwork. I hope you enjoy it as well.

We look forward to another great week. If you have not done so yet, please fill out the Halloween Parade form in the section below. We currently have 275 students and only 34 responses. If we do not have a response, we will assume that your child is staying in school and participating in the parade. Have a great weekend!
