Good Humor Month Is Here

January is Good Humor Month at Saklan!  Saklan’s Student Council has planned a month full of fun! We have chosen a different theme for three Wednesdays during the month. Please have your child dress in clothes that relate to the specified theme. At lunchtime each Wednesday, the Student Council officers will facilitate a cooperative activity between grades 1-8. We hope these activities encourage teamwork and build school spirit. Please refer to the list below for days, themes, and activities.

Wednesday, January 11: Sports Day

Students should wear a jersey, shirt, sweatshirt, hat, etc. of their favorite sports team. It can be a professional team, a little league team, or any type of team in between.

Activity: 3-Leg Race (4 students from each grade)

Wednesday, January 18: Crazy Hair/Clash Day

Students are encouraged to wear clothes that are outrageous and do not match. Also, students should style their hair as crazy and wild as possible. Yikes!

Activity:  Freeze Dance Contest (everyone)

Wednesday, January 25: Pajama Day

This is a Saklan tradition! Students should wear their favorite pajamas and slippers to school. Remember that your pajamas have to be school appropriate!

Activity: Limbo Contest (everyone)

Thank you to so many of you who have donated or pledged to our Annual Giving Fund campaign so far. We have raised $50,000 to date! Together, our gifts support and build on the exceptional learning our students experience here at The Saklan School.

Over the next couple of weeks, we will be sending out more information about how you can support our students and teachers. Until then, if you’re thinking about your gift now, these are the ways in which you can let us know of your plans:

  • You may donate online at https://saklan.ejoinme.org/donate , mail in or drop off a check, give monthly, or make a stock transfer.
  • You can also pledge now and pay in full anytime before April 1, 2017.
  • If your company matches, let us know, so you can double the impact of your gift.
  • If you have questions or would like to speak confidentially about your gift, please contact Carol Goldman, Director of Development, at development@saklan.org

Your gifts are important and needed to help us reach our ultimate goal of $150,000. Thank you very much!
