3 Cheers for Bucket Band

Our Bucket Band had their first performance Friday, 12/10 and they did an amazing job. Congratulations on all of your hard work and dedication.  Huge shout out to Mrs. Po-Ruff for leading these fantastic musicians. They even played Imagine Dragons and AC/DC!!

Congratulations to 3rd Grade!

They earned the PIE (Partners in Education) Grant and plan on using it to support students in painting self-portraits in acrylic. Here is what was written in their application, “Throughout our IB Unit of Inquiry of “Who We Are,” students explore and inquire about what makes us unique as individuals and what makes us a community. After painting self-portraits, we will take action by donating our work to the Sargeant School Library for an art display.”

Thank you for a wonderful and happy return from our Fall Break.  Teachers spent the week welcoming students back with open arms and lots of smiles.  We reconnected in meaningful ways and got underway with new learning and fun activities.  

Welcome!

We are excited to welcome our new Mental Health Specialist, Hillary Blan.  Hillary has a Master’s Degree in Social Work and has experience working with children and families.  Her first day at Sargeant is Monday, 12/6 and she is excited to begin her journey as a Bulldog.  She will spend the next few weeks getting to know all of the teachers and students.  We are lucky to have her!  Keep your eyes out for more information from Hillary herself. 

Our IB Learner Attributes mural has been finished!!

It is in the MPR and we are so grateful to our painter, Raphael Leiblum, for his great work.  THANK YOU to our amazing PTC for funding this project (and all of you for your fundraising efforts).  Our students and staff love it. We are so proud!

Kindness Club

Sargeant's Kindness Club is proud to support our community, and this year we have connected with the senior residents at The Terraces of Roseville. We have showered them with cards for Halloween and Thanksgiving, and for the holiday season, we are making homemade lap blankets. You can help support our acts of kindness by purchasing a Kindness bracelet. These bracelets are adjustable, waterproof, have our school colors, and help unite us in one school and one community. Plus, they make great holiday gifts! Bracelets are available for purchase in the school office. Thank you for continuing to make Sargeant great!

Early Release Day tomorrow

This is a reminder that school gets out early on Mondays!  Dismissal tomorrow is 2:00 pm. 

Chips for Kids Toy Drive

We are collecting new, unwrapped toys to donate to children in need.  You can find a donation bin in our front office.
