SHCS Yearbooks: We are in the process of assembling the SHCS yearbook for 2009/2010. If any parents or teachers have pictures that we could add to the yearbook, we would really appreciate it. If you have pictures of: field trips (class or school), Olympics, parades or other fun pictures with groups of students, please bring the pictures to the office on a CD by April 9th.
Volunteer Hours: Thank you to all of those parents, relatives and guardians who volunteer on a weekly basis. The children and school benefit greatly (both in grant money and classroom assistance).
For those of you haven’t had the opportunity to get your hours in, we have plenty of events and needs, such as the ones listed below. So, please sign-up to help out and remember that each family is required to have a minimum of 100 hours (hours go up for each additional child enrolled in SHCS) for the school year. The office will have an updated report of all inputed volunteer hours (by family) available by the end of the week.
- Crossing Guards: We are still in desperate need of afternoon crossing guards. There have been afternoons when we have had no volunteers available. It is for about 30 min from 2:30-3:00, you get double hours and the weather is getting nicer! Please email Cheryl Kightlinger at cjkightlinger@yahoo.com if you can assist.

- National Environmental Education Week, April 19-23: This is our 5th year celebrating EE Week and if you haven’t been here for one yet, you are in for a big treat! EE Week is a huge celebration of our dedication to environmental education by setting aside the week for fun, educational activities designed by the teachers that students rotate between in multi-aged groupings. Students also enjoy many other educational contests, programs, and field explorations throughout the week. This year’s theme will be Biodiversity of Utah for grades 3-8 and Plants and Animals of Utah for grades K-2.
- Please plan to join us throughout the week! A detailed schedule will be provided next week to better help you plan. Volunteers make EE Week run! Volunteers are needed:
1 volunteer is needed to teach a Grade 3-8 lesson all day Monday and Tuesday (you will be given a lesson and materials before spring break)
4 volunteers are needed to monitor lunch lessons- a hands-on learning table. (materials will be provided)
1 volunteer to plan (with guidance from Kelly Gallo if needed) and implement a green celebration picnic on Friday, April 23.
7 volunteers are needed each day to travel with K-2 groups from station to station
8 volunteers are needed each day to travel with Gr. 3-8 groups from station to station (these chaperons make sure students get to the correct station at the correct time, assist the teacher at the station if needed, and monitor student behavior)
Incentives are also needed. Each year students participate in several activities that go beyond the classroom (recycling relay at lunch, recycling drive, penny drop, recycled fashion show, etc.) and are awarded a GreenDeed ticket for their green deed. These tickets are then entered into a drawing. Many winners are announced at a special assembly on Friday and receive a variety of prizes (incentives). We are collecting prizes now and are in need of more. Prizes in the past have been books, binoculars, bird feeders, pens, pencils, posters, backpacks, t-shirts, kites, toys, etc. Please consider donating those random extra items we seem to find ourselves with that kids might enjoy. These incentives are meant to encourage student participation during the week in the hopes they will continue the habits they practice during EE Week into the future. Your donation means a great deal!
If you would like to volunteer your time and/ or donate incentives, please contact Kelly Gallo at TeachingGreen@yahoo.com or 570-764-2609.
