Sea Girt Library-Book Project

The PTO has been in discussion with the Sea Girt Library.  Even though the library is not open at this time, they have launched an initiative to capture this moment in time of quarantine with a Book Project.  The Sea Girt Library is hoping students and their families will contribute short “essays” on how their lives have changed during this time (in school, celebrating holidays, with family, or anything else).  In terms of length, the maximum is 600 words and there is no minimum.
We are asking people to email their info to us at: seagirtlilbrary@gmail.com. 
Any questions you can also contact Lisa Luke, Library Director. 

School Supplies-2020/2021

New this email blast is the ability to order the Sea Girt Elementary School supplies online for next year.  This is totally voluntary, not mandatory.  The teachers and administration in conjunction with the Sea Girt PTO have put together the supplies needed by grade level.  If you decide to order online the packages will be there awaiting the student on the first day of school.  In addition as an added bonus, the Sea Girt PTO gets a small amount of money donated back from the supplier.  Every little bit helps!  Please click the following link to browse and see if this is an option for you and your family. http://1stdayschoolsupplies.com/kits.php?sid=67884

Sea Girt Strong

We also ask that you keep sharing the great photos of home learning and activities with #seagirtstrong.  It is great to see all the ingenious ways families and kids and learning and making it fun.  

As this continued quarantine is in place the Sea Girt PTO will still be here to support the students and staff and will continue to push out only pertinent information as needed so as not to bombard you during this time.  We have cut back on the emails and media as most families are focusing on other issues now and juggling jobs and homeschooling.   The PTO wants to stay connected to our Sea Girt Elementary School families and hopes everyone is social distancing while enjoying the downtime with family and the outdoors.  We are ALL navigating these uncharted waters together and will continue to share ideas, updates and things to do during this difficult time. 

Also to our audience at large if you have something that we the Sea Girt community can do as a whole to help out those who are working and who are on the front lines of this please feel free to share with the Sea Girt PTO and we will blast it out to all.

PTO Newsletter – April 26th, 2020

The Sea Girt PTO hopes this email finds everyone well.  We hope you enjoyed the weekend with your family and we continue to laugh and look forward to all the instagram posts as to how you are staying #seagirtstrong.  We would also like to extend a well deserved THANK YOU to all the Teachers, Administration and Support Staff for all that you are doing to help the students during this time.    

Dance A Thon Event

Due to the uncertainty of the remainder of the school year, the Sea Girt PTO had to already cancel the Mother Son Event.  Unfortunately we also have to cancel the Dance A Thon event which usually takes place each year in May after testing to provide the students with some well deserved fun and stress.  If at some point the students return to school the Sea Girt PTO is prepared to organize a similar type of event.   We look forward to being able to provide this to the students.

Teacher Appreciation Week

The Sea Girt PTO has been brainstorming about how best to handle Teacher Appreciation Week.  The PTO has fun each year planning events, food, presentations and alike to try to capture how much the students and parents really appreciate the teachers at Sea Girt Elementary School.  This year, like all others, we are faced with a little more of a challenge as to how to express our gratitude.  The Sea Girt PTO has come up with some great ideas that we will be implementing.  If you are a class parent you will be receiving further instructions to pass along to the class.  ALL, please keep an eye out and please engage in the activities so we can show our appreciation for the teachers for all that they continue to do!

Mother-Son Event

Unfortunately due to the uncertainty of the remainder of the school year, the PTO has had to make a decision in concert with the Sea Girt Elementary School to cancel this event at this time.  We have to advise the venue and the DJ with enough notice so it does not result in a cost.  There has been a lot of work that goes into this event already and we want to Thank the Committee for all their efforts.  If there is an opportunity to do something in the near future the PTO will certainly work with the committee toward that effort.
