Greetings Bobcats,

It has been a busy week for our intermediate Bobcats.   Our Envirothon students competed against other teams in the county and did extremely well.  We are proud of all of our Envirothon students.  Similarly, our 3D design students competed this week, as well, and achieved 2nd place out of 12 teams.  Our students had their field days this week and on Friday we had our APEX color run.   Please see the calendar below for upcoming events.

SFI Student Senate:  We are looking for volunteers to help us run 6th Grade Fun Day. Click HERE to volunteer.

SFI PTO Information: 

• Apex Color Run: This was an extremely successful fundraiser event. The lessons and fun run were well received by the students. We will update with exact numbers once final lap pledges and flat donations are entered. As of 9am today we earned $553.16 per lap, estimating over $16500 raised! This has proven to be the one fundraiser we need to start off each school year. We will still do a few traditional fundraisers of fan favorites to tie into family events but this will be our main fundraiser to cover field trips, fall & fun fest, conference meals & teacher appreciation, back to school picnic, and the ice cream social. For next year, we will need an Apex Liaison. This volunteer will share the lessons learned, nightly challenges, fundraising updates, and take pictures of the pep rally, reward winners, and the event. If we had a person dedicated to promoting this event on our PTO page, I think it has the ability to cover not only the PTO budget but help with AR and Student Senate needs. 

• Ice Cream Social: Our Spring Forge PTO is hosting an ice cream social for our upcoming 4th graders, current students, and their families on May 23rd from 6:30-8:00 PM in the SFI cafeteria. Stop in to enjoy dessert courtesy of the PTO! We will have ice cream cups and a variety of toppings for creating the perfect ice cream sundae (while supplies last). RSVPs required. Please RSVP by completing the Google Form by clicking the link by May 21st so that we can accurately purchase supplies within budget.

• Thank you: Many thanks to all of the volunteers and donors throughout the school year. Thank you to those who helped recently in May with book fair, karaoke night, fun fest, Apex run, and teacher appreciation week. Next year we are in need of volunteers to be in charge of events and fundraisers. We are also in search of a PTO President. A list of open positions and their details will be posted on Facebook soon. Please consider taking on a PTO role in the 2024/2025 school year. Email sfibobcatpto@gmail.com for questions!
