A Message From our Office Staff Regarding Check out for Appointments:
Please email your child's teacher or call the front office in the morning (or at least 2 hours before an appointment). Students move locations throughout the day: lunch, playground, and specials. Without advanced warning, we are often trying to reach a teacher not at his or her phone due to these transitions. We want to provide families with quick service when picking up students. A courtesy "heads up" call for early pick ups will reduce your wait time so that you make it to your appointments on time.
Veterans Day Wall of Honor
Savannah Elementary is putting together a wall to honor all Veteran's of our United States Military. If you have a Veteran, please upload a picture with their name, their branch of service, and the student they are associated with at Savannah Elementary in the Google form below.
Read-A-Thon is Here!
SCHOOL-WIDE GOALS:
200,000 minutes of reading
and $20,000
to help our school!
Everyone should have received a registration sheet for Read-A-Thon. We want to get everyone registered this week so we can start strong on MONDAY!
If you did not receive this information, please contact your child's teacher and ask for their class code so you can get registered at www.read-a-thon.com/readers

We're very excited about our upcoming Read-A-Thon fundraiser and want to share an amazing opportunity for local businesses. If you own, manage, or know of a business that would like to support our school, consider becoming a Read-A-Thon sponsor. By becoming a sponsor, a business will gain exposure to thousands of individuals who are all passionate about supporting literacy and our community.
