Holiday Gifts for Staff - Optional! As a courtesy to SGE families, the PTA facilitates money collection for staff holiday gifts. Giving is completely optional. ALL money collected will be divided evenly among all SGE teachers and staff. Cards for each gift will be signed: “Happy Holidays! Love, the SGE families.” Because this is a group gift from all Shamrock families, no individual contributor names will be listed.
To contribute to this group gift, you can send money in one of the following ways by Friday, December 13th:
1. Electronically through the PTA website via our secure holiday giving link.
2. Cash/Check drop off to the PTA mailbox at the school. (The front desk can direct you to the mailbox if needed.) Please include "Holiday Gifts" in the memo.
The SGE team means a lot to us, and this extra holiday money means a lot to our SGE team, so this is a great opportunity to show our appreciation. Thank you in advance for your contributions! And you are always welcome to additionally or instead send personal gifts, homemade cards, etc. to teachers and staff. |
Holiday Treat Now through December 31st, head to WaveMAX Laundry (2915 The Plaza) for your laundry needs! One of our Shamrock parents is running a promotion for SGE families. Just mention Shamrock, and you'll receive 10% off wash, dry, and fold services. At the end of the month, WaveMAX will donate 5% of the proceeds back to the school! Visit WaveMAX's website to learn more about their wash-dry-fold service. The service normally costs $1.25 per pound. Premium options are also available for a maximum of $1.60 per pound. Could be a nice treat during the holiday season for busy parents! |
BOOK FAIR
Our annual book fair, sponsored by Khali Yoga Center, will run from December 6th through 13th (full details below in Featured Events). We need volunteers to help direct scholars to their next best read (or pencil topper) before and after school. Sign up to volunteer here! There's also a super sweet yoga giveaway taking place for the grownups, courtesy of our sponsor. Enter to win three months of free yoga at Khali Yoga now!
LUCKY'S LIBRARY
At least one parent/guardian is needed each morning before school on Tuesdays through Thursdays to manage Lucky's Library and help scholars pick out free books. Lucky's Library (a magical place!) is visited by scholars who have read a certain amount of minutes each week and are eligible to select a book to keep as a reward for reading. It's the perfect volunteer opportunity to knock out before work or an otherwise busy day! Sign up here.

(in case you missed it) - Are you confused about all the acronyms? LI/TD, PTA, CoGAT, etc.? You're not the only one! The SGE PTA website includes a glossary that will help demystify these terms and many others for you. (No cap...)
After-school activities: A number of excellent organizations are partnering with SGE to provide voluntary after-school programs for our scholars. See more information here! We've included a chart of potential available activities, the days of the week they are held, and which grades are eligible to participate. Visitor check-in: All visitors on campus (including basketball game attendees, after-school activity participants/volunteers, landscape workers, etc.) must sign in through the visitor check-in system, LobbyGuard, to be accounted for. This is a CMS security requirement. Visitors can save time by becoming a CMS volunteer in advance. Driver's licenses are required for adults. - Support SGE every day! Buy spirit wear, rent the rock, and earn while you shop.
