What a wonderful week at Soaring Heights! This time of year is always busy and bustling with fun and activities. We love having our students here with us to share in that joy. Girls basketball started this week, with 68 girls participating. Students have been working hard on their I-Ready assessments for ELA this week. 

Soaring Heights will be sponsoring a winter necessities drive organized by our student Pride Time group. Please see below for more details and information. 

Congratulations to eight students that were accepted into the Middle School All-State Choir this year. This is a record for Soaring Heights! Additionally, 17 students were accepted into the SVVSD Honor Choir. 

Tonight, December 2, we have several students performing at the Erie Parade of Lights in Downtown Erie. This is a great family event and a wonderful way to celebrate our students. We hope to see you there!

We look forward to finishing December strong! As we move deeper into the school year, attendance becomes more important to your student’s learning and is directly related to their grades and growth in their grade level. 

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We are extremely grateful for our students, staff, parents and Erie community. 

Best wishes,

Cyrus Weinberger, Principal
Meghan Quirk, Assistant Principal
Krystal Trinkler, Dean

Join Us at Soaring Heights
Let's wrap up the fall season with a seasonal drawing of
pumpkins on a vine, a patterned bat, and colorful scarecrows
in a cornfield. Get ready for winter as we turn out holiday
lights, a "sweet" drawing of a gingerbread house (almost
good enough to eat!) and a wonderful winter scene. We'll
draw these (and many more exciting lessons!) while we
improve creative and critical thinking skills today's students need.
Before you pack away those Halloween costumes our Middle School Drama Department would love if you'd check and see if you have anything you'd be willing to donate!

Please consider donating old costumes and accessories to our program for use in a future show. The show this spring will be Frozen Jr. - so fun! However, the department will accept any gently used costumes child medium size or larger. Please contact Beth Chaudhri at chaudhri_beth@svvsd.org with any questions.

Thank you for supporting Soaring Heights Performing Arts. ❄️⛄️🎟🎤

UNIVERSAL FREE MEALS HAVE EXPIRED FOR THE 22/23 SCHOOL YEAR. Upon the start of the school year, students will be charged for lunch unless they qualify for free or reduced-price meals. We are encouraging families to apply for meal benefits for the 2022–2023 school year  to ensure negative balances do not accrue on students’ accounts.

Applying online is the fastest way to get your application processed to ensure no lapse in coverage happens. Applying online also reduces the chance for errors and the need to send applications back to families to correct.

If you do not believe you qualify for free or reduced-price meals, please make sure that there is money on your students’ accounts. You can add money to their account through MySchoolBucks

For more information, please visit the Nutrition Serivces website.
