World Religions Series, BOOLING!, and Spirit Week
Dear Soundview Family,
BOOLING! is next Saturday, October 29, 2022. This great community event is open to all Soundview families and is fully sponsored by Soundview’s Parent/Guardian Association–there is no cost for Soundview families to participate. Wear a costume, enjoy some pizza, and roll a few balls. More information can be found HERE. Registration is required. You can sign up HERE. See the flyer HERE.
A wonderful series for our 7th-graders is coming up. Pastor Jenna from Trinity Lutheran Church, Avishai Gebler, former rabbi at HillelUW, and Br. Kyle Smith will all be speaking to our 7th-grade class for our World Religions Series. They will share their experiences with the Lutheran tradition, Judaism, and the Muslim traditions, repectively.
If you want to purchase school lunches for your child from our vendor, Green Sprouts, for the month of November, orders must be made between Thursday, October 20 and Tuesday, October 25. You can find the ordering information in the Parent Portal HERE.
Next week is Spirit Week at Soundview! Everybody can participate, and no extra purchases are allowed. See the flyer HERE. Here is the schedule of themes for the week:
Monday, October 24: Pajama Day; wear your PJs to school!
Tuesday, October 25: Class Color Day; each class is assigned a color–wear as much of your class color as you can!
EC: yellow
Kindergarten: green
Seals: pink
Otters: blue
Whales: purple
Sea Turtles: black
5th grade: orange
6th grade: gray
7th grade: red
8th grade: white
Wednesday, October 26: Teacher-Student Swap Day; students dress like teachers, and teachers dress like students!
Thursday, October 27: Twin Day; pick a friend and coordinate!
Friday, October 28: Show/Movie Day; dress up as or wear a costume inspired by a favorite TV show or movie! This will be in conjunction with our Halloween celebration.
Admission tours and applications for the 2023-2024 school year are happening now. Please tell your friends and family about Soundview. We would love to give them a tour and introduce them to Soundview. For any and all questions, contact our Director of Enrollment Management, Victoria, HERE.
The Annual Campaign is during the month of December. Tuition alone does not afford the full Soundview experience. Student financial aid, outdoor school, and so much more depend on your support. Keep an eye out for my invitation to chat over coffee in November.
Another Soundview tradition is coming back: Grandparents and Special Friends’ Day! On the morning of Friday, December 9, 2022, we welcome our students’ grandparents and special friends to join classrooms for memorable and fun projects and activities. Look for an RSVP form in next Friday’s message. Late comers welcome!
Happy Rain!
Chris
