TODAY'S YOUR LUCKY DAY
... and it's better to be lucky than good, they say. Shamrock's lucky month of March is upon us! Read on to learn about how we can support each other as we round out Q3 (the third quarter) of the school year.

UNIFORM DONATIONS NEEDED
We are in specific need of gently used uniform tops, bottoms, and dresses in sizes 5-10, as well as tops in size 16/XL. Items can be brought to the front office.

As a reminder, the SGE uniform closet accepts donations anytime of any uniform sizes, and is accessible to staff as they support our SGE scholars and community every day. Think: spills, accidents, etc.! There are opportunities to shop the uniform closet at events throughout the year. Our amazing SGE guidance counselors and support staff can help with specific uniform needs.

Also, as Principal Potter reminded us, please make sure your scholars continue to come to school in their uniforms! Younger students (PreK - 2nd) should send a change of clothes to keep in their classroom in case of accidents. If your scholar receives a change of clothes from the school, please wash and return to the school when possible.

SHAMROCK SHUFFLE FUN RUN
The 2025 Shamrock Shuffle Fun Run, sponsored by Ken Riel, is a school-wide fundraising effort to raise $30,000 for playground improvements at SGE, ending with a FUN RUN at school on Friday, March 14th. Every scholar gets to participate for free and will receive a (uniform-approved) spirit shirt. 

Fundraising, Prizes & Incentives: Register by March 5th on MyBooster.com to be entered for registration prizes! You'll have until March 14th to fundraise. Daily prizes will be delivered to scholars' classrooms as goals are met. Visit our Shuffle webpage for additional details on prizes and incentives.

Fun Run! The big event will be Friday, March 14th, during school hours at the SGE Bus Loop. Come cheer on your scholars! (You must be a registered CMS volunteer to attend.) Each grade will run during the following times:

• SBS: 9:20-9:50am
• Pre-K: 9:50-10:20am
• 2nd Grade: 10:20-10:50am

2024-2025 YEARBOOKS
Now through March 31st is the time to purchase a yearbook ad! Send your fifth grader off with some extra love, or just give a shout-out to your hardworking scholar. Examples of ads and the order form are available here. 

In addition, 2024-25 SGE yearbooks will be on sale March 3rd to 31st. The early bird gets the worm; yearbooks are only $15 if ordered by March 15th, and are $20 thereafter. You can also choose to contribute to the Yearbook Fund to get extra yearbooks into the hands of those who cannot afford them. Check this page for more details and the order form when it goes live!

SHAMROCK SHUFFLE FUN RUN
We need mascots, DJs, photographers, nurses, and more to pull off the fun run! Sign up here!

CAREER DAY
Shamrock will be hosting Career Day on April 3rd, 8:30-10:30am! Our counselors are looking for volunteers to showcase their careers to our scholars. If you are interested, please complete the Career Day Interest Form. Look for Thursday folder flyers for additional information in the coming weeks, and email Ms. Hart, Ms. Kachel, or Ms. Carter with any questions. They are excited to welcome members of our SGE community to engage with our scholars about potential careers and help them bloom!

PTA BOARD FOR 2025-26 SCHOOL YEAR
The PTA needs you! Our school is what it is today because of dedicated parents like you who make incredible impacts. We are looking for parents to join the PTA board and its committees for the 2025-26 school year.

It's a great way to meet new people, and there is a role for everyone! The biggest needs are listed on this form, which you can fill out by April 15th if something jumps out at you. If you are unsure where to start, reach out to Wes Turner (336-830-2105) or Chelsea Lawrence to see where you can make an impact.

We hope you consider giving your time and joining us! It takes a village of volunteer support to run all of the PTA events and activities that our Shamrock community loves and thrives on.

LUCKY'S LIBRARY
At least one parent/guardian is needed to monitor Lucky's Library before school on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. It's the perfect volunteer opportunity to knock out before a busy day! Sign up here.

There are plenty of opportunities to get involved and support SGE. Visit our website to learn more about Helping Hands, Heart Math Tutoring, Lucky Dads, and more! Remember to register at cmsvolunteers.com so you're set for the school year.
