President's Message
By Sue Manley
It is with mixed emotions that I greet you this holiday season.  Like most people I speak with, I'm finding it hard to balance the good tidings of the season with the shock and sorrow left in the wake of events at Sandy Hook Elementary.  As we all feel a call to action, please know that your PTA board is committed to helping our teachers and our staff make Shady Grove as safe as possible.  At the teacher's request, the PTA recently funded extra walkie-talkies for our teachers to be able to communicate in the event of an emergency on the playground.  Additionally, we coordinate volunteers for Morning Drop-Off and Welcome Center to have a strong parental presence at our school everyday keeping our Cardinals safe.  Please consider joining our list of volunteers for these important positions.
 
I am also saddened that at the end of this school year we will lose many wonderful Cardinal families as redistricting has several Shady Grove neighborhoods moving to the new school.  Together our communities have spent the last 20 years working to support Shady Grove.  Every family will be missed.  At the same time, I am excited for those with the opportunity to experience new friends, a new administration and a brand new school.
 
This time of year brings together family and friends, and invites us all to reflect on our past year while contemplating the next.  I wish you all peace and joy for the New Year.  Happy Holidays! 
Rock-A-Thon
Get Ready to Rock for the Cause...

Don't be left out in the cold. The Rock-A-Thon is Thursday, January 24.  The pledge forms were sent home last week.  Remember to ask your family to sponsor you to Rock Out with all your friends.  There will be an amazing DJ and great games and contests.  The proceeds from the Rock-A-Thon benefit the Shady Grove Scholarship Fun. Details and forms can be found on the homepage of our website. 
After School Enrichment
After School Enrichment registration is complete, and the confirmation e-mails have been sent out. If you registered but did not get a confirmation e-mail please contact [email protected]
Hospitality
After school last Friday, the teachers/staff had their holiday party!  Mr. Guider organized a holiday fashion show!  Our Hospitality Committee provided the refreshments, prizes and judging  Here's a picture of the winners: Mrs. Doyle - 1st place; Miss Lynn - 2nd place; Ms. Shannon - 3rd place; and Mr. Guider as the emcee!  A big thank you to all of our hospitality volunteers for providing all the supplies, prizes and yummy treats!


Yearbook
Every year we order a limited number of yearbooks. Don't forget to order your 2012-2013 SGES yearbook.  If you wish to add any personalization to your child's yearbook you must order online before January 31. Yearbook price will increase to $30 on

Box Tops Challenge

As you prepare your holiday feast, please remember the many earning opportunities through box tops.  Simply clip box tops from the many participating brands, label a baggie with the name of your child's teacher & send it to school.  It's a great way to earn extra cash for our school programs and help your child win an extra recess.  Visit the box tops website for more details.
