We are looking forward to a great week of learning and recognizing the achievements of our Snowy Owls in our February Awards Assembly! We also want to wish the best of luck to our Snowy Owls who will be competing in our District Speech Contest Semifinals this coming week. We have a variety of activities and events happening in the upcoming weeks. From our PTA Movie Night to Read Across America to our Sotomayor Talent Show. Be sure to read about all of the important school information for the upcoming weeks. Thank you for your support!
PTA Upcoming Events
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 hallway and stairs. We appreciate your support in asking your Snowy Owls at home what specific behaviors allow them to be safe, respectful, responsible, and kind in the hallway and stairs.
Parent-Teacher Conferences Coming Soon
March is just around the corner, which means we will be having parent-teacher conferences as we approach the end of the quarter. You should be receiving or may have already received information from your child’s teacher regarding our spring Parent-Teacher Conferences (March 13-20, 2025).
Our teachers will meet with each parent/legal guardian. Please honor your scheduled conference time or reschedule your time, if something comes up. Often times spring conferences are student-led so that children can articulate their learning to their families! We are also excited about the opportunity to meet with our families to share about each individual’s growth this year!
Lunch with the Chef
Our Lunch with the Chef is back this week! Our district chef will prepare a fresh, made from scratch breakfast and lunch item to serve to our Snowy Owls during their regular breakfast and lunch period. He will be at Sotomayor on Wednesday, February 26th. He will be preparing a chicken and biscuit sandwich for breakfast and tortellini and chicken Alfredo for lunch for students.
We will still offer the other normal choices that are on our lunch menu. We look forward to this fun and delicious opportunity again for our Snowy Owls!
YMCA 2025 Annual Campaign
Thank you to those who have donated thus far to the YMCA. We have raised $390 dollars and are getting closer to our goal of $2,500. Your donation of any amount from $1-100 is welcome. Any amount helps us achieve our goal.
