Happy Friday, Stonehedge Families!
It was quite a COLORFUL week here at Stonehedge with students and staff participation in our red, orange, yellow, green and blue/gold spirit days! We also celebrated National "Poem in Your Pocket" Day this week, spreading poetry and creativity throughout the building.
Best wishes for a Spring Break filled with fun, family, and hopefully some much needed sunshine!

Greetings Stonehedge Families!
We've been enjoying reading activities related to PARP this month. We have been enjoying our guest readers and we had a very special visit with author Alicia Klepeis on Wednesday. She shared her creative books topics and writing process. I can't help but wonder which of our Stonehedge authors will publish their own books one day?
Also, the 2025-2026 school calendar was approved by the BOE this week. See below!
Have a great weekend!

Greetings Stonehedge Families,
Happy Friday! We have had an exciting week. We had a planetarium come for our 3rd graders. The students had lots of positive and excited feedback. They learned so much about the phases of the moon and other important information about space exploration. Today, we had Irish Dancers join us to share their talent. Thank you to the PTA for bringing both events to our school.
We could use your help to discuss appropriate behavior on the bus. Please discuss what it looks like and sounds like to be respectful, responsible and safe on the bus. Students should remain seated and out of the aisle while the bus is in motion. Students should use a level 1 (indoor, talking) voice. Students should use kind words with others. We appreciate you reviewing this with your child(ren) regularly.

Greetings Stonehedge Families,
In like a lion, eh? I should say! We have had a very exciting week in Stonehedge. If you have a first grader, ask them about their trip to Hospital Land. Tomorrow is our PTA Enrichment Day and we are looking forward to seeing those who have registered engage in extracurricular activities. Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday, Stonehedge!
It is hard to believe we are nearly a week into February. On Wednesday, our Pre K - Grade 1 students attending a preview of the WGHS Little Mermaid. The show was awesome and our youngest students truly enjoyed the experience. If you get a chance, you should go see the show this weekend. Also this week, our "Souper Bowl" goods collection has been a huge hit. Thank you to all of the families who have donated items to support our power packs program. We'll have to see, but at last check the Eagles were winning the poll here at Stonehedge! Please check out the Around School pictures below!
A few reminders:
Please do not get in the car pick up line until after 2:45 pm to allow for WGIS traffic to clear
STEAM Showcase is on hold due to space limitations with the construction project.
I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and we'll see everyone on Monday.

Can you believe it is the end of January already? The time is flying by. We have had an exciting week at Stonehedge. Our Grade 2 students had a wonderful experience with the Rev Theatre Company as they had individual classroom workshops and then an interactive performance of The Magic Paintbrush! It was truly absolutely MAGICAL! I was able to join Mrs. Stalter's class for a virtual field trip where we got to meet the baby calf they adopted. (Check out the picture below!) This was a great culminating field trip to wrap up their Farming Unit. And, if you have a child in Third grade, you should ask about the Roly-poly bugs that have come to Stonehedge!
Do you have a Kindergarten student starting in the fall? Please see the information below about registration. The kindergarten team and I are already planning for Readiness Night and Kindergarten Screening. You'll want to be register to assure you find out all of the upcoming Kindergarten information.
Planning way ahead-- 4th grade teachers have asked me to mention that the 4th grade Moving Up Ceremony will be held on the morning of Tuesday, June 24th.
I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and we'll see everyone on Monday.

We have been working hard on resetting expectations this week. Students have been earning special Golden Wildcat Wows for meeting hallway and cafeteria expectations. We have been doing an extra special golden raffle each morning. It sure has been exciting to see everyone working so hard to do the right thing! Keep up the good work, Stonehedge! Check out the pictures below!
As an extra reminder, school will not be in session on Wednesday, January 29th in celebration of the Lunar New Year.
Have a great weekend. Stay warm and safe!
Mrs. Simmons
