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.

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!
