Save the Date - family portrait sessions 

Family Portrait Sessions with Ken Rada (our wonderful school photographer) will be held on Saturday October 13 and Sunday the 14th.  Each session will be $40 and the entire sitting fee will be donated back to Sagamore Hills!  More information to come soon!  See his great photography on his website here
 

Its Starting to be Coat and Sweater season - a reminder!  

Parents - please label your child's coat, sweaters and sweatshirt so we can return them if found! We hate not being able to return things to their owners and so many unclaimed items wind up getting donated because we don't know who they belong to. 

Also - don't forget to check the lost and found for any missing items, if there is no tag thats where it goes!  
Fifth grade students had a wonderful opportunity a few weeks ago!  Kate Leo, Jackson's mom in Ms. Beck's class, works at Cartoon Network.  She asked our students to design frames for a Cartoon Network commercial!  Each fifth-grade student got to design two or three frames.  Here is the link to the commercial: 
https://app.frame.io/presentations/02bfcb09-b83a-43d1-b714-16fdbb190990  Check it out...it is really cool!
The commercial will air during the show "Total Dramarama" until the end of the year!  
Congratulations to Cara Gardiner and Mac Vaysman!  They are pictured here at the Art Star Hall of Fame recognition ceremony at the Dekalb County Board of Education building. Mac's artwork is the cat displayed up high and Cara's artwork is the bird picture.  Their artwork will be displayed for a year.  After that time, it will be displayed permanently at Sagamore Hills!
