Christmas program and reflection

Greetings Sligo School Family,

I want to thank our faculty, staff and student body for a tremendous Christmas program last Thursday night. This is a wonderful time of season to share our love for Jesus through giving of time, talent and means to those in need. It is also a time to reflect on the blessing we have in the country we live. Let's not take it for granted.

FYI to our parents that Friday December 17 students have early dismissal at 12:30 p.m.

Merry Christmas everyone!

You can help by bring a shoebox full of NEW items such as school supplies, toys, hygiene items and others things like hard candy, mints, gum, T-shirts, socks, ball caps, hair clips, flashlights and sunglasses etc.

If you would like to help but don't have a shoebox or time to fill one you can give money to off set the cost of shipping the shoeboxes overseas. For further information you can look on-line at www.samaritanspurse.org/ezgive.

New beginnings

Dear Sligo School Family,

Today we start the 2nd Quarter renewed and refreshed from our week of prayer. I want to publicly thank Pastor Josant Barrientos for speaking with and encouraging our students to talk daily to God through prayer. I want to also encourage each parent to create a schedule that allows for plenty of rest and good food for each of our children. By doing so, an atmosphere of cooperation and learning will be event when students come to school.

Educating with Christ,

Larry Rich
Principal

Week of Prayer

This week Pastor Barrientos is speaking for our Fall Week of Prayer. All parents and family are welcome to come and listen.

Sligo School Sabbath

Dear Sligo School Family,

The Sligo Church has designated October 9, 2010 to be SAS Sabbath. I am very excited about the opportunity for our students and staff to be given the chance to take part in their worship service. The teachers will be dedicated and students will be performing. We are asking that all students from SAS wear the DRESS UNIFORM so that SAS students will be unified. If you have any questions about what is dress uniform please refer to the handbook or call Mrs. Wanga our Assistant to the Principal.
More information will be forth coming but I wanted to give you a heads up in plenty of time so that you could be there in attendance to support and worship with our church and school family.

Skate Night

I want to thank all of the parents, students and teachers who supported our first of five skate night fundraisers this year. The school received over $100. I think this is one of the most enjoyable fundraisers the school has.

If you weren't able to attend last night plan on our next skate night October 21, 2010. Same time, same place and don't forget to tell a friend.

New Beginnings

Greetings,
Can you believe that the first week of school is behind us. Last Friday Trenise Gulley (our Home and School leader) kicked off our annual Innisbrook fundraiser. You can become a friend of mine on Youtube and watch a short click of a competition between one of our staff members and an 8th grade student competing during the assembly. We are raising money for new science tables and chairs for our science lab. We are always looking for financial support to make our problem even better than it already is.

SAS is blessed with many wonderful students and teachers.

Sligo Accreditation over

Sligo is beginning the last quarter and I can't tell you how please I am of the students and staff at Sligo. The visiting committee who came to evaluate our school program were quite impressed with the school climate and over atmosphere upon walking through our doors. It was evident that the administration, teachers and students had a respect for each other that permeatted throughout the school.

It's great working at Sligo!!
