The PTA Stonewall Tell is hosting Spring Break is here!

The Mother & Son Dance

Take this time to relax and enjoy time with your family. With work schedules and extra-curricular activities many of us barely have the time to sit down at the table, at the same time, for a meal. So we should all use this week as a time to get back to our family. Teaching old family traditions while vacationing in the sun or even making new ones; both are equally important. Showing our children that we remember what it is like to have fun! So this Spring Break let’s make it “Family Fun Week” and just spend time with the family immediate and/or extended smiling and laughing with one another!

ATTENTION PARENTS: EARLY MORNING DROP OFF ROUTINE The morning times and dropping off your student is a very important part of the day. But we need your help to make it run as expeditiously as possible. We have over 200 yards of sidewalk and you do not have to wait until the children are directly in front of the door to drop off. By doing this you are helping with the “Healthy kids, Smart kids” plan we are a part of as well as helping the students to not be tardy to class. Please assist us in making to morning drop off as efficient as possible.

Thanks in advance!
