Sonny Carter Elementary School

There will be a dress down fundraiser on Friday, April 2. Students may bring a dollar to be out of uniform dress code on that day.

Congratulations to a second grade student who read over 100,000 words in AR! Excellent job!

Due to the potential for severe weather on Thursday morning, the Bibb County School District will have an asynchronous learning day Thursday. This means students will be virtual on Thursday. Teachers will upload assignments to Canvas for students to work on from home, just as they do on Wednesdays.

Classes with the best attendance per grade level during the month of February enjoyed a sweet treat today!

Congratulations to a second grade student who is a mini-millionaire! Gavin has been reading up a storm with over 500,000 words in AR! Excellent job!

Congratulations to the staff members of the month for August, September, October, November, and December! Way to go!

We thank Mr. Jackson, newly elected school board member, for sharing his love of reading with our students during Read for the Record!

Mrs. McBride, AP, was presented with a welcome back card this morning.

We are so delighted to see so many smiling faces at our pumpkin patch drive thru! This event was made possible by donations from Tabernacle Baptist Church, Northway Church, Publix, and Kroger.

It’s Mystery Reader Tuesday! Can you read with expression? Mrs. Shell, this week’s Mystery Reader, sure can! Listen as she shares Room on the Broom, by Julia Donaldson. Can you imagine seeing a witch on a broom flying through the night sky, along with a cat , dog , bird , and frog ?!? After listening to this fun Halloween story, try to retell the order of the animals joining the witch on her broom.

Mrs. Greenberg’s Measy Hanukkah by Linda Glaser is shared by this week’s Mystery Reader, Mrs. Bills. We wish you lots of latkes of love this Hanukkah season!

On December 14th, the school will receive a donation from Panda Express from orders that were for pick up or delivery using the code 901837. The code must be entered in the order for he school to receive a donation on December 14. https://community.pandaexpress.com//a88dfab4-46/en/landing

We sincerely thank Tabernacle Baptist Church for their generous donation of 200 pumpkins! We are so excited to facilitate the pumpkin patch drive-thru tomorrow at 5:00!

For those approved for face to face instruction, prek-2nd grade will begin face to face instruction on Monday, Nov. 9. 3rd-5th graders who are approved for face to face instruction will begin on Nov. 16. Face to face instruction will be four days a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Wednesdays will continue to be a virtual learning day; students will continue to learn from home on this day. This will allow teachers time to prepare lessons for virtual students and time for staff to clean the buildings midweek.

Ms. Grayer is this week’s Mystery Reader! Listen as she shares one of her favorite books, The Little Old Man Who Could Not Read, by Irma Simonton Black. Can you imagine never learning to read? What would it feel like? Think about all the places you go and things you do that require reading! Think about just how important reading truly is...what a gift to give yourself!

We are so grateful for Kroger donating a generous Kroger gift card to our school which was delivered by Mr. Timmerman. We would also like the thank the Cherry Blossom Festival for their gift of Cherry Blossom pins.

Happy Boss's Day to the best administrators, Principal Reeves and Mrs. McBride!!!
