Read Across America
2025-03-03
On Monday, March 3rd we join thousands of schools for “Read Across America!” Classrooms will be celebrating in their own way as well as an elementary and middle school reading time.
Students are invited to dress up as their book character on this day. Common-sense guidelines apply such as no torn-out jeans, no clothes with inappropriate graphic or logos, or anything that promotes violence, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, sex, racism or gang affiliation, no costume items, etc. Prohibited articles of clothing include but are not limited to:

Pajamas, yoga pants, sweatpants, and joggers (except on “Pajama Day”)
Trench coats or capes
Tank tops and spaghetti or thin strap tops
Bare midriff, or see-through clothing
Form-fitting pants cannot be worn alone and must follow uniform guidelines as described in section 1(b)(iii) of the uniform policy at all times.

It is imperative that student attire does not contribute to a hostile or intimidating atmosphere for any student, and that dress code enforcement does not reinforce or increase marginalization or oppression of any group based on race, sex, gender, identity, religion, ethnicity, or cultural observance. Any such clothing items are not allowed, and students inappropriately dressed on free dress day will be asked to change. Parents will be contacted and asked to bring a change of clothes.
If in doubt as to whether an item is appropriate, send back-up clothing in the event your child is asked to change. Younger students are also encouraged to bring a change of clothes in their backpacks in case of accidents.

HEART Week
2025-02-06 - 2025-02-13
At SCS we practice our H.E.A.R.T. skills throughout the entire year and HEART week gives us a chance to really celebrate! HEART week begins on February 6th with each day focusing on a specific H.E.A.R.T. skill: honor, empathy, accountability, respect and teamwork. Teachers coordinate content for their individual classrooms.
Students may participate in a Spirit Week beginning February 6th by
dressing according to the schedule below.
Thurs. February 6th– Disney or Marvel Character Day (no masks/weapons)
Mon. February 10th— Pajama or Sweats
Tues. Feb. 11th—Flannel and Jeans
Wed. Feb. 12th– Hearts and/or Red, Pink
Thu. Feb. 13th— Sports/Team (hats allowed)
You can participate in HEART Week at home too! Try some of these activities:

Eat heart shaped food like pizza, pancakes, a heart shaped lunch
Leave a heart shaped love note under your child’s pillow for each of the five days. Thursday’s note is about how they use honor, Monday’s note is how they show empathy etc.
Watch a movie as a family and talk about how the H.E.A.R.T. skills were used or not used during the film
When you read to your child at night, discuss the H.E.A.R.T. skills that the main character used or struggled to use
Pick a picture book each night for each of the H.E.A.R.T. skills
H.E.A.R.T. Charades
Play a family game and focus on one of the heart skills that the family is using such as teamwork
Do a H.E.A.R.T. skill scavenger hunt around the house
Have your child send letters to family members about the H.E.A.R.T. skills that they appreciate about that person
Do a family service project that week to practice empathy
Clean the house using teamwork and playing songs with “heart” in the title. Google songs with heart in the title and you are set!
Each night at dinner, ask each other questions about how they used a certain H.E.A.R.T. skill that day. For example, on Wednesday, talk about how each family member used respect that day
Have a H.E.A.R.T. cookie surprise! Bake heart shaped cookies and deliver it to service organizations in Sherwood to thank them for their H.E.A.R.T. skills that make this community special. For example, deliver cookies to the police department and make a thank you card about how they use honor, teamwork etc.
