This is a free developmental screening for all preschool children who will not be eligible to attend Kindergarten in the fall and will be three (3) years old on or before September 1, 2023.

Holiday Hike! Students in 5th-8th Grade that have signed up for the Holiday Hike need to be ready to go tomorrow for the 1.5 hours & (2.5 mile) trek. The weather is forecasted to be cold, but not cold enough to stop us. Kids need to be layered, have hats, gloves, and etc. to be prepared for about 30 degree weather. The wind will not be as much of a factor tomorrow and we will have stops where we are briefly inside. Students are encouraged to bring a couple items in their packs if they wish to donate to either cause (see lists from earlier emails), as we will be hiking those as well as other donations to specific locations on our route. We look forward to a fun & holiday spirited journey that is a culminating focus of health, happiness, & community. There will be a few sweet surprises for the kids along the way, and we look forward to the day. If the cold is of major concern, and you wish your child not to participate, please let us know and we will remove them from the list. Also, we apologize, but cannot add any students to the activity due to many variables at play in the organization of this event. Please send email to jkolesar@stauntonschools.org with questions or concerns. Checks Payable to : Benld Adopt-a-Pet OR Helping Hands Happy Holidays, SJHS PE Dept.
