Me and My Partner Rodeo is this coming Saturday, February 4th from 9:00 to 11:30.  Come rope a cow, dig for copper, and try fresh squeezed Arizona citrus.  A flap jack breakfast will also be served so bring your appetite...but mind your manners or you might get thrown in jail!  There is no cost for this event, however, we are asking for paper good donations for the school.  See the sign up in our classroom.


If you have not yet signed up for February co-op, please do so by Friday.

Thanks!

January 23rd - January 27th

It's Rodeo time!  We will spend time over the next two weeks sanding, assembling and decorating our very own stick ponies!  We will learn all about cowboys, horses and ranching. 

Parent Meeting is this Thursday.  We ask that one parent per family attend this important meeting.  We will go over class offerings for next year as well as roll out our fundraising campaign.  This is different in years past.   We ask you to join us for this very information meeting.  We will start at 6:30pm and keep it as short as possible.  Thank you in advance for your attendance.

Me and My Pardner Rodeo - Saturday, February 4th 9-12 am.  This is one of SUMC's  signature events and is designed for the non-cooping parent to have some fun with your little cowpoke at school.   Since this is Arizona's centennial, we have decided to have a birthday party for our beautiful state too!  Please see Kate with any questions.

Learn n' Burn is Rescheduled

Learn n' Burn scheduled for Friday, January 20th will be rescheduled for another night later this month or next month.

Our topic of discussion was to be preparing your child for Kindergarten.  Tracy Foster who is our Transitional Kindergarten teacher was going to give a brief overview of the basic skills that all children should show efficiency or mastery in prior to the start of Kindergarten. 

We apologize for the re-schedule.  As soon as we have another date, we will let you know!

Thank You!

January 9th-January 13th
