The Buzz - Apr 13

Dear Sinclair Families:

Stingers are AWESOME and busy! We went outside today for both recesses and enjoyed play in the damp conditions! In addition to outdoor fun, some of our students attended a Musical practice, played chess in Chess Club or came out to show their interest in Running Club.

Today was the final day to hand in submissions for the yearbook year book cover contest. Covers will be voted on by students and staff over the next two days. We will begin with one round of voting and then narrow the choices down to the top 5 or 6 vote getters. Final selection will be announced next week. 

We hope that students and families are able to drop into our school's upcoming 75^th Anniversary celebration on Saturday, April 25^th from 9:30 to 11:30 am. As part of this event, you can catch a sneak peek at our upcoming Musical Revue. Students will be performing on stage and showcasing three songs beginning at 9:45 am in the gymnasium. Other features of this event include an opportunity to browse through memorabilia, tour the school and catch up with friends and Stinger alumni!
