Update on the Fire

Hi Skyridge Families! It has been an interesting week here at school.  We were very lucky that the fire that was started behind the 4^th and 5^th grade portables was spotted quickly and contained before any damage to classrooms could occur.  I want to give a special Skyridge THANK YOU to our volunteers in the Life Lab, Kasa and Julie Thompson for the weed eating they did in the Life Lab just a few days ago.  Their care of the property probably saved room 21 from catching on fire!  Also, a Thank You to all of the community members and parents that responded with buckets and hoses to help contain the fire until the fire department arrived.  Thank You Auburn Fire Department, Newcastle Fire, and Cal Fire for your quick response and saving the classrooms.  If you have any information on how the fire was started please call the school or Auburn Police Department.

Principal's Weekly Message

Dear Parents,

One of the focus areas for all Skyridge students this year is ACADEMIC VOCABULARY.  We want all students exposed to, taught explicitly, using rigorous vocabulary in and out of class.  Each month a different grade level will develop their version of advertising their math and language arts ACADEMIC VOCABULARY.  September is 5^th Grade and I wanted to thank Ms. McGonagill and her students for putting the bulletin board together in the MPR, take a moment to check it out.  A special THANK YOU to:  Jezibelle Stephens, Chris LeBleu, and Faith Vercruyssen for their creativity on the display.  Make sure to ask your 5^th graders to tell you about: idioms, metaphors, similes, inference, and main idea.

Thank you and have a great week.

Mrs. Lewandowski
