On Thursday, November 13, 2025, Quarterfield Elementary will launch a new mentoring initiative in partnership with Severn Run High School called SRQ Connect. This program brings together student-athletes from Severn Run and students from Quarterfield to build meaningful connections through physical activity, mentorship, and social-emotional learning.

During physical education classes and recess—times when students often face challenges with behavior and peer interactions—SRQ Connect mentors will support our younger learners by modeling positive behaviors, encouraging teamwork, and helping students navigate competitive situations with empathy and resilience.

The high school mentors will serve as role models, demonstrating how to participate actively, resolve conflicts respectfully, and have fun while staying emotionally regulated. This initiative is designed to strengthen our students’ social-emotional skills and create a more inclusive and supportive environment during high-energy parts of the day. Our goal is to do this at least once per month.

Please join us in welcoming the SRQ Connect mentors and supporting this exciting collaboration between our schools! Special Shout Out to Coach Allen Haley for his willingness to connect for community sake.

On behalf of our entire school community, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of sixteen $15 Walmart gift cards. As our very first donor in our journey as a Community School, your support means more than words can express.

Your contribution will directly support our Parent Academy series, helping us encourage and empower families to become more engaged in their children's education. Any remaining funds will be thoughtfully redirected to assist families in need during the holiday season—making your gift a two-fold blessing.

Thank you for believing in our mission and for investing in the strength of our school community. We are proud to partner with you and look forward to the positive impact this will create.

With sincere appreciation,
