THANK YOU to our dedicated families, scholars, and local business sponsors for helping us reach our fall fundraising goals, and for making INVEST month a resounding success! We feel so lucky to be part of this community that works together to make Shamrock special every day.

And congratulations to House Explore (Blue) for winning a close Penny Wars race! We loved seeing how INVESTed the scholars were in this fun competition. Scholars raised a whopping $1,111 for our neighbors in Western North Carolina. #WNCstrong

PROSPECTIVE FAMILIES OPEN HOUSES

Spread the word to friends and neighbors about upcoming SGE open houses! Families can learn more about what makes SGE special, meet staff, and tour the school. Interested families can see all open house dates and register for a session at: https://bit.ly/comeseesge24. 

SAFETY FIRST

As a reminder, please be vigilant when entering and exiting the SGE campus. We have a healthy (pun intended) number of walkers and bike riders, which is something to celebrate but also requires everyone to practice good safety measures. Drive slowly and safely on and near campus. We appreciate your courteous mindset. 

HELPING HANDS

Helping Hands volunteers meet every Wednesday morning in the teacher work room to make copies/laminate/cut projects for each grade level. This work helps our teachers tremendously. As Ms. Whitaker put it, "This incredible group is truly a lifeline for our school... Helping Hands is not just a convenience--it's an invaluable resource that directly impacts the quality of education your children receive."

So, please consider volunteering with Helping Hands this year--or next year! Many of the current volunteers are fifth grade parents. Volunteers can come in every Wednesday or on the Wednesdays they are available. Veteran helpers will show you how to use the machines, so no experience is necessary!  Please contact Laura Michaud to find out more.

(And a huge THANK YOU to Laura Michaud for leading these efforts for the past few years!)

LUCKY'S LIBRARY

Lucky's Library (a magical place!) is visited by scholars who have read certain total minutes at home and can select a book to keep as a reward for reading. It is typically open Tuesdays through Thursdays from 7:30-8:00am and is staffed by parent volunteers. Please check out the available dates to volunteer, as we'd love to get coverage through December! It's the perfect volunteer opportunity to knock out before work or an otherwise busy day!

MORE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

There are plenty of opportunities to get involved and support SGE. Visit our website to learn more about Heart Math Tutoring, Thursday folders, Lucky Dads, and more! (A signup for the Book Fair - sponsored by Khali Yoga - in December was just added!) Remember to register at cmsvolunteers.com so you're set for the school year.
