HAPPY NEW YEAR AND WELCOME BACK!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas break and that 2022 is off to a great start for you all. We are staying hopeful for a healthy and happy new year, eventually freeing us all from the restrictions 2020 put onto us. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and say cheers to 2022!  
  
LUNCH – PLEASE READ IF YOU ORDER LUNCH OR PLAN TO

Given the amount of students out of school on a daily basis due to illness or otherwise lately, leftover lunches are piling up.  If you have ordered lunch for your child, for any given day, I encourage you to reach out to me, Cate Leonardis, prior to the day you ordered for.  This way I can notify the lunch volunteers as to what to do with it.  Please let me know what you would like done with your child’s lunch, for that day or for the duration of your child’s absence from school, i.e. give it to a staff member or you will be picking it up.  Lunches will be brought into the main office to be picked up.  To guarantee that your child’s order is waiting for you, please reach out!  I want to make sure you all are getting the lunches that you ordered for your child or that they are going where you want them to go.      
 
PTO MEETING

Please join us for our first PTO meeting of the new year!  Our January meeting will be Tuesday January 25, after drop off, over at Shore Pour. Please bring your ideas, suggestions and open ears!  We will be talking winter/spring events, as well as giving a more in depth look at the success of our 2021 Craft Market and what our 2022 Craft Market could look like.  We look forward to sharing a cup of coffee and chatting with you on Tuesday morning!

VOLUNTEERS

We can’t emphasize enough how important volunteers are to the success of the school year.  There are many things our parents and kids want to see happen throughout the year that are made possible because of those who volunteer. Please reach out to a PTO member to find out how you can become part of a committee or become a committee Chair.  WE ARE ALL THE PTO! 

Specifically, we are looking for more parents to add to our volunteer list for our lunch program.  We have our designated 6 volunteers for each day of the week, but we need to build on our “back ups” list for when our regulars can’t make it.  The same well continues to be tapped and volunteering for lunch is great way to get to know some of the teachers and other students better, as well as see your own children during the school day.  Please contact me, Cate Leonardis, if you’d like more information about volunteering.  I look forward to hearing from you!

CALENDARS

Calendars are still available for purchase. They are $30 each and feature our children’s artwork, dates to remember and a school directory.  Calendars will be available at our January PTO meeting on Tuesday 1/25 or by contacting a board member.

FATHER/DAUGHTER DANCE

We still plan to have our annual Father/Daughter Dance this year, however we have decided to move it closer to spring, rather than have it during February.  We are expecting Omicron to calm down in the next month or so.  We will then continue moving forward with the planning process.  Please join us at our meeting on Tuesday morning, 1/25, to discuss further details and if you have any suggestions or ideas to bring to the floor. 

PTO WEBSITE

We are looking to move away from our current website and become a tab on www.seagirt.k12.nj.us .

THE HOLIDAYS ARE HERE!

We hope everyone had the kind of thanksgiving they were hoping to have; quiet and relaxing, fun filled and loud or a vacation to some place warm.  Whatever it was, we hope your thanksgiving was great.  It’s hard to believe its time to start looking towards a new season and a new year!

CRAFT MARKET

The 2021 Craft Market went off without a hitch and the feedback from vendors, patrons and volunteers, was nothing but positive.  The 1 day, outdoor event, drew about 25 vendors, instead of the usual 50+, but this, in no way, took away from the excitement of the day.  Our vendors arrived early, smiling and ready to share their wares. We had shoppers lined up, ready to go, even before the market opened at 10:00.  Our kitchen was pumping out hot cups of coffee, warm quiche, sweet treats and steaming bowls of soup; all served with a smile by our hard working 8th graders. A giant shout out to our team of kitchen ladies for all their behind the scenes efforts and making this special part of the market happen!

The Raffle Basket table was a sight to see! Around 33 baskets filled with various donated items like spa treatments, artwork, a surf board, local restaurant gift cards, wine, even the chance to be principal for a day, drew crowds throughout the entire 6hrs.  Even some of our own SGES families went home big winners! A massive shout out to our Raffle Basket chair, Mariam Savaria, for organizing this epic part of the Craft Market.  

The Bake Booth was another huge success on the day.  Thank you to all the families who donated your homemade baked goods.  Everything looked delicious! Dana Reid, our Bake Booth chair, said this was the first year she had ever sold out. Awesome! We can’t thank Dana enough for all the work she puts into this key piece of the Craft Market each year. 

A big, heart felt thank you to every single person who volunteered and supported the day’s efforts.  Back in September the idea of pulling off the Craft Market seemed so daunting.  Like, who is gonna put this thing on their back and make it happen.  The truth is, no one pulled it off.  We ALL pulled it off.  Thank you, THANK YOU to every one of you who rallied and lent a hand in some way.  You are responsible for the success of the day.  Talk about Sea Girt Strong!!

WE ARE IN FULL SWING!

Fall is off to a roaring start and with our annual fundraisers going to plan, we couldn’t be more ready to embrace the change of season!  The Scarecrows lined up along Bell Place give us all the fall feels and we hope they’re doing the same for you.  Our fall social is in just a few days at Fratello’s, if you can believe it. And most notably, our highly anticipated Craft Market is set to roll out for a 1 day, outdoor event, on November 20.  We are looking forward to seeing all of our SGES students in their costumes on Friday and Sunday. Have a fun and safe Halloween!

PTO MEETING

Our November PTO meeting will be Thursday 11/11 at 8:30am on the picnic benches.  Please bring all of your questions and suggestions.  This will be a great opportunity to meet the members of the PTO and members of our SGES community, learn about fundraising plans for the school year and sign up for any volunteer positions that are open.  We hope to see you all there!

FALL SOCIAL

Our first parent hang out of the school year will be our fall social on Friday 10/29 at 6:00pm.  Our friends at Fratello’s will be hosting us; food and drinks will be served.  A big shout out to Chantal and Brian Nash for organizing this sure to be fun evening.  Tickets are $30 and can be purchased through Chantal or Carey Begley with cash or Venmo.  Reach out to either for Venmo info.  RSVP’s by 10/28 would be appreciated and can be emailed or texted to Chantal.

SCARECROWS

Our annual scarecrow fundraiser has succeeded in doing what it always seems to do: make us smile, laugh and get us right in the mood for Halloween.  Thank you so much to those who have participated so far.  You’ve done such a great job!  We hope it’s been just as much fun for your kids coming up with ideas and decorating them, as it’s been for us to see them along the fence.  For anyone who is still looking to purchase one, please reach out to a board member.  We have just a few left!

CALENDARS

Calendars are still available for purchase.

CRAFT MARKET

We are so excited to announce that we will be holding our annual Sea Girt Artisan Market on Saturday, November 20 (rain date Sunday 11/21).  The market will be held outdoors, in the school parking lot, from 10:00am-4:00pm.  Our kitchen will be serving lunch, our bake booth will be selling baked goods and we will have raffle baskets available for those to take chances on winning.  We are in big time need of volunteers for the day of the market, in all areas.  We are asking that parents sign up for 2hr shifts. A sign up table will be made available at the Halloween parade on Friday.  If weather doesn’t permit the parade to happen outside, an electronic sign up option will be made available.  Thank you in advance and we are so looking forward to kicking off the holiday season on November 20!

BAKE BOOTH – CRAFT MARKET

The following is a message from our Bake Booth chair, Dana Reid.  Please read!

• Each family is asked to drop off at least one homemade baked good for every child enrolled at school. (Please do not drop off any store bought items.)
• Cakes and pies yield the highest profit. Please do not slice any cakes or pies as they are sold whole.
• Drop off times are Friday, Nov. 19th between 3:00 and 6:30 at school.  You may also drop off on Saturday, Nov. 20th between 8:00 and 10:00. There will be a drop-off table set up by the side door near the playground.
• All items are to be dropped off in a disposable tin or plate.  Nothing will be returned to you. If you are in need of a disposable tin, please pick one up at the outside tables after school Monday through Thursday (11/15-18) until supplies last.
• Label your item(s).  Please let us know what you baked and if there are any nuts.  It is helpful to place your name on the item so we can contact you if there are any questions in regards to ingredients or refrigeration.
• Thank you for all your help in making the bake booth a successful endeavor this year!

BACK TO SCHOOL!

Welcome and welcome back to our new and returning students and families!  We are looking forward to a school year that looks much more familiar than last year’s did.  Although we are still dealing with similar health climate issues, we do feel that we are miles ahead of where we were at this time last year and we plan to carry out events that were so missed last year. We hope all the students are off to a great start and hope to have a happy and successful 2021-2022 school year!

APPAREL

Our SGES apparel store is now open! The store will remain open through 9/20.  Place your order online and pick up, or have it shipped, from Sneakers Plus in Wall.  An email will be sent when your order is ready. We’ve got some great new items this time around, so don’t miss out! Thank you to Janine D’Altrui for organizing this for us again!  Use the following link to being shopping.

PTO MEETING

Our first PTO meeting with be Thursday 9/23 at 8:30am on the picnic benches.  Please bring all of your questions and suggestions.  This will be a great opportunity to meet the members of the PTO and members of our SGES community, learn about fundraising plans for the school year and sign up for any volunteer positions that are still open.  We hope to see you all there!

CRAFT MARKET

Our crafters have been patiently waiting to find out if we will be holding our annual Artisan Market.  We have a few volunteers, but no one to Chair this event.  This position is crucial if we want the Artisan Market to happen.  This does not have to be a solo mission or seen as a scary undertaking.  There are many of us members of the SGES community who are here to provide support and help guide those of you who may be new and want to help.  The Artisan Market really does take a lot of manpower, so the more the merrier.  In talks with Mr. Papera, we will be adjusting how the market would happen this year, but sincerely want to see this beloved event happen.  Please reach out to a PTO member if you’d like to help in any capacity.

TEACHER WELCOME BACK BREAKFAST

Hospitality chairs, Debbie Lajewski and Kelly Jarmon, welcomed back our teachers with a beautiful surprise breakfast on September 2.  As always, they did an amazing job and we are so grateful to have this duo back together for the upcoming school year!

WE MADE IT!

The end of the most wildly, unpredictable school year has come. Last summer, I’m not sure any of us were even sure there was going to be a school year. But there was and wow, we did it. There’s a reason the windshield is so big and the review mirror so small, right? As we wave goodbye to the 2020-2021 school year, we can all look forward to an awesome summer, void of restrictions and the prospect of the start of a “normal” school year in the fall. Congratulations to our incredible 8th graders who graduated last night. They got thrown a heck of a year, filled with obstacles and they continued to put their best feet forward. Good luck to all of them as they embark on their new journeys as freshmen in high school. But wait. Let’s stop all this talk about fall and a new school year! It’s time for summer!!! Wishing our SGES community all the best!

VOLUNTEERS

Goodness gracious, I don’t know where we’d be without the help of our amazing volunteers; this includes class parents, as well as committee chairs and members. Like the 8th graders, each of you put your best foot forward and met obstacle after obstacle head on, all for the sake of our kids and teachers. Some things we could make happen, others we just couldn’t. But what I hope our community knows, is that each volunteer worked tirelessly in hopes of delivering something normal to our kids and teachers this year. Thank you for all you’ve done! And thank you to all of you who have signed up for volunteer positions for 2021-2022. Wow! We do still have some positions open. Please reach out to a board member to sign up.

SURVEYS

A few weeks ago, you should’ve found a survey in your child’s backpack from the PTO. Thank you so much to those of you who have returned it already. For those who haven’t gotten a chance yet, you still have tomorrow to get it in! The board values the SGES community opinion and we are always striving to do better. WE ARE ALL THE PTO!

END OF YEAR TEACHER’S LUNCHEON

Hospitality chairs, Debbie Lajewski and Kelly Jarmon, hit it out of the park for one last time this school year, with a beautiful luncheon for our teachers from Main Street Kitchen. (Main Street Kitchen happens to be one of our lunch vendors whom we are very excited and hopeful to work with again next school year.) We are endlessly grateful for the duo of Debbie and Kelly and all they do. Please go to the PTO instagram, @sgpatriotpride, to see photographs from the afternoon.

WE’RE ALMOST THERE!

The end of the school year is in sight and I think our kids, teachers and staff deserve a huge round of applause! With only a few weeks of the school year left, we hope you enjoy the last few fun things we have planned before Memorial Day arrives and summer (un)officially begins.

TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK 

Thank you, thank you to all who gave their time and donated to make Teacher Appreciation Week happen.  Our volunteers rerouted due to safety restrictions and STILL went above and beyond.  This is what we mean when we say without the help of our volunteers we couldn’t meet our mission as a PTO.  We look forward to celebrating our teachers and staff again next spring!

BOOK FAIR 

The Scholastic Book Fair is coming back to SGES May 23-25…IN PERSON! Our kids will have the opportunity to explore all that Scholastic has to offer, just as in years past.  It will be held outside and distancing measures will be observed, so that each student will be able to shop safely. Thank you to all volunteers who have signed up to act as cashiers, for set up, breakdown and as floor help. And of course, a huge thank you again to Claire Beggens for chairing the Book Fair again this school year.  ***Please look to your email for information from your class parents with more details about shopping times***

Remember to say SGES or Sea Girt Elementary School when you order.  Let’s make it our best pizza night of the year!

PTO MEETING

Please join us for our last PTO meeting of the year, June 10 @8:30 at the picnic tables.  Come have some coffee, chat about the school year or even the upcoming school year!  This will be your opportunity to sign up for all chair and volunteer positions for the 2021-2022 school year, including class parent sign up.  Hope to see you all there!

HAPPY SPRING!

I can’t believe we have passed the 1 year mark from the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.  Certain restrictions have started to lift and I think many of us feel that with the coming of the warm weather, a sense of positivity is in the air.  We are continuing to adapt to the restrictions that are still in place. The board is hard at work trying to do everything we can to finish up the school year on a good note, while keeping the safety of our community as our priority.  Wishing everyone happiness and continued health this spring!

TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK – MAY 3 – 7

With Ally Stevens leading a large group of volunteers, our teachers are in for an exciting week ahead! Big thanks go out to Ally, all of our volunteers and class parents for helping put together a week filled with different ways to let our teachers and staff know just how much we truly appreciate all that they do for us.  Please stay tuned to your email with any info from your class parents throughout the week.

BOOK FAIR 

The Scholastic Book Fair is coming back to SGES this May…IN PERSON! Our kids will have the opportunity to explore all that Scholastic has to offer, just as in years past.  It will be held outside and distancing measures will be observed, so that each student will be able to shop safely. Stay tuned to Wednesday flyers and the PTO instagram for dates and details. 

FATHER / DAUGHTER DANCE

It is with great sadness that we must inform you that the PTO will not be hosting the annual Father/Daughter Dance this year.  After weeks and weeks of hard work and troubleshooting, there is simply no way to guarantee the health and safety of all of our daughters and dads.  For the board, this is paramount. We are hopeful for 2022 and appreciate the community’s understanding on this.

PIZZA NIGHT
