Native American History Month
Native American History Month is observed in November every year where the focus is on celebrating the culture, traditions, and achievements of Native Americans. Let’s celebrate and learn more about the vibrant history and traditions that enrich our community.
Snowy Owl Expectation Focus
Our goal at Sonia Sotomayor Elementary School is to create and maintain a positive and safe learning environment for all and hold students accountable for being positive forces within our school community. The Snowy Owl Expectations are taught, modeled, and practiced throughout all grade levels and locations around campus. For the next two weeks, we will focus and reinforce the expected behaviors for the office. We appreciate your support in asking your Snowy Owls at home what specific behaviors allow them to be safe, respectful, responsible, and kind when coming to our front office.
APEX in Review
The numbers are in for our Apex Fun Run. Thank you all again for your efforts this year! We look forward to providing an exceptional year for our Snowy Owls with the earnings, sponsored by our wonderful PTA.
Grade Level Spotlight
