PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
We had so much fun at our Fun Fierce Female Festival and we want to give a special thanks to helped put this awesome event together, Aman Scott, Christian Yazdanpanah, Kasey Pozzi and also a special thanks to Christina Crum who helped coordinate all of the amazing volunteers!
One of the most important pieces of our model is uniting and uplifting one another as a community and having the opportunity to reunite with our community after so long was much needed and oh so much fun! Every one of my 25 dunks in the dunking booth was totally worth it!
This week we are excited for our PK-2nd grade Lemonade Day. See details attached! Please check remind messages from your child's teacher for
Remember there is no school this Friday, April 29th due to the inclement weather day!
The following Saturday, May 7th is Solar Leagues annual Sweetheart Dance! Haven't purchased a Mother's Day gift yet? The sweetheart dance is one opportunity to give a Solar mom a nice Mother's Day treat (a night off!)
Have a wonderful week!
THANK YOU, Aman, Kasey & Christian!
LEMONADE DAY
We will have TWO Lemonade Day events:
April 28th (PK-2nd)
May 26th (3rd-5th)
Lemonade Day is just ONE of the amazing programs our girls can participate in thanks to what they earn through Girl Scout cookie sales. Through their cookie profits, we are able to purchase supplies for each classroom for Lemonade Day. Every year, each class determines their budget and makes a list of the supplies to purchase: cups, straws, fruit, sugar, water, ice, fancy umbrellas, secret ingredient and supplies to make their stand pop and create the most tasty lemonade treat!
Every year we celebrate Lemonade Day and honor our late co-founder by participating in her favorite STEAM project. Ms. Turner loved this project because of how it brought ALL of the components of STEAM together. And it doesn't stop there, each year our Brownie troops participate in the Journey Brownie Quest, where they learn about what it means to give back. Our proceeds will go to the charity of our Brownie Troops choice!
STAND SCHEDULES
In honor of Ms. Turner, scholars may wear yellow on Thursday with their uniform or with free dress bottoms for our last day of our Coin Drive. #LiveHerLegacy

SOLAR PREPARATORY SCHOOL FOR GIRLS
KEY PRIORITIES:
Culture and Communication
Our goal is to clearly communicate the systems that reinforce the high-expectations and cohesive culture for students, parents, and staff. This focus on communication, data informed decision-making and consistency will elevate our staff and student culture to build the habits of mind and heart. These habits enable effective instruction, love of learning and excellence.
Project and Performance-Based Learning
Students will participate in meaningful and relevant learning experiences through the implementation of high quality project based learning across the campus. Students will make connections to the content they are learning. Instruction will focus on real-world situations with an emphasis on student agency, collaboration and students effectively communicating their ideas.
Math-Positive Culture
Math is for EVERYONE. A positive math culture will require that math is integrated across curriculum and contents throughout the school. We will work to improve campus-wide math mindsets, build fluency, and create a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts, problem solving and ways to manipulate numbers.
Blended Learning Practices
A deeper focus on the highest leverage differentiated learning systems that increase student achievement across the campus. Through blended-learning students receive instruction specific to their learning needs. The purpose, best practices and progress of our blended learning systems will be consistently to all stakeholders involved.
