 Pavers for Sumac Buy a brick to help beautify our campus, raise funds, and make a lasting impact on our campus. Forms were sent home with your student this week and can be found online HERE. The deadline for the initial installation and front-of-school location is May 15th.  Jog-a-Thon Lands on May 2nd! This year we bring Apex Leadership in to coach our second biggest fundraiser of the year! Every student is included in the Jog-a-Thon program and will receive a shirt, no matter what level of the pledge they make. We’ll be kicking things off with a morning pep rally on Tuesday, April 23rd. This will be followed by in-class character lessons over the next six days, where each day your child will receive a Lesson of the Day wristband. Check out posters around the campus; more information will be coming home soon!  Weekly Music Classes at Sumac In his weekly classes Sumac's music specialist, Mr. G, has been opening our kids' ears and minds to different styles, genres and ideas. Since each class is only 30 minutes long, he often plays just short snippets of songs as examples. But with the spirit of listening in mind, he's made a Spotify playlist with all the songs he's played and discussed with the kids so far. This way, students can revisit the songs in full and dig deeper if they’d like. Please encourage them to listen, and talk to them about it after. So you know what they've covered so far in class, Mr. G. has provided recap on the PFA website's Music page.
