During the 2009/10 year, fundraising dollars were mainly used to support curricular and technological resources. School Council is pleased to have provided to Sheridan:

♦ A SMART board system which includes an interactive whiteboard, projector, software, speakers and a laptop computer
♦ Absence Check Fridge Magnets
♦ School Sign
♦ Data Projector
♦ Math Homework Books (Grades 3, 4 and 5)
♦ BAM Field Trip (Grades 1 -5)
♦ Scientists in the School (Kindergarten)
♦ Literacy Materials

School Council has also used dollars from our Angel Fund to help provide a small amount of support to a Sheridan family that is dealing with illness. As well, a small portion of the fundraising dollars was allocated to miscellaneous items such as volunteer and teacher appreciation events, an angel fund, farewell gifts, stamps and bank charges.

Thank you for supporting our fundraising efforts.

Staff Appreciation Luncheon

One of school council's favourite events of the year is celebrating the Sheridan staff. The Sheridan staff are a pleasure to work with and we applaud their commitment to educating and inspiring our children. This year, we set aside May 31st to host an appreciation lunch. Thank you to all the Sheridan parents that provided a lunch donation to make this event a success. We would like to also extend a special thank you to Karen Curtis for organizing the event.

Next Council Meeting

Please join us at our next council meeting scheduled for Monday, June 7th at 7:00 p.m. in the staff room. We will be voting on the updated constitution as well as discussing funding items such as a die cut machine and an additional SMART board system.

We invite all Sheridan parents to get involved in the life of our school and in the processes that shape it. Our monthly meetings are an excellent way to do so.

All Sheridan parents are welcome to attend and participate in our discussions.

Hope to see you there.
