Dear Sicomac Families,
I hope you all enjoyed the extra long weekend with your families! Our teachers are hard at work conducting parent-teacher conferences today and look forward to continuing with their meetings next Monday 11/16 (Minimum Day). It has been fantastic seeing so many of you filling the hallways today. Conferences are always an important milestone in the school year, and a gentle reminder of just how fast time flies. We truly value this time to connect and celebrate your child's growth. Please remember that open communication doesn't stop when your conference ends. Our doors and inboxes are always open to support you and your family year-round. Please read below for some updates and highlights from Sicomac!
Student Council Elections
On Election Day, our 4th and 5th graders cast their ballots to elect our Student Council President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. We had a remarkable group of candidates who ran creative, thoughtful and inspiring campaigns! While we celebrate our newly elected officers, I want to give heartfelt praise to every student who had the courage to step outside of their comfort zone and run for office. Our 5th graders truly blew me away with their enthusiasm. This is a very special class, and I am so grateful for the energy they bring to our school. I look forward to partnering with our officers, class representatives, and the entire student body to ensure that student voice shines at every turn here at Sicomac.
President: Micaela Ridkes
Vice President: Dylan Felix
Secretary: Colby Carrelha
Treasurer: James Barzola
Next Up: Elections for Class Representatives will take place at the end of this week. Students in 3rd-5th grade will receive more details tomorrow regarding how to run.
Sicomac Strut
This week marks our annual Sicomac Strut and Food Drive, a wonderful tradition where we celebrate healthy habits while giving back to our broader community. A special thank you to Mr. Depersis and our dedicated PTO for working together to organize this exciting event. Lace up those sneakers! I can't wait to run some laps with our students on Thursday.
Economy Shop
Classes 2C and 4B earned extra recess this week for having the highest volunteer participation at the Economy Shop last month. Thank you so much to all the parents who volunteer their time to support the Economy Shop. Your genersity makes a huge difference for our school.
Sincerely,
Keith Dunbar, Principal
