Piedmont PoetsThis is a program that PTO sponsors to encourage memorization and self-confidence in our Pre-K - 1st Grade students. We have parent volunteers come to the library at designated times to listen to students recite poems. This is a parent/child project, as teachers do not use classroom time to work on poems. Once a student has recited their first poem they will be recognized at Wildcat Wake Up. At the end of the year, the students that have memorized and recited correctly ten (or more) poems get a special field trip!Pre K Requirements - Poems (or Nursery Rhymes) must be at least 30 words (shorter poems are allowed, but only count as half a poem). Kindergarten and First Grade Requirements - Poems must be at least 55 words long (shorter poems are allowed, but only count as half a poem). |

Barefoot BookwormsThis is our summer reading program in conjunction with the Piedmont Public Library. Shortly before school lets out for the summer you will receive a note in your child's backpack. This note will provide the summer theme and the form to fill out for each book read. Each child that completes the program gets to attend a special ice cream party during school in September.Also included in this program is a bookmark contest. Students are encouraged to design a bookmark in May. When school resumes, the winning bookmark is then given to anyone participating in the Barefoot Bookworms summer program. Reading lists need to be turned in by August 31. 2008 Information Sheet (and reading list) |

Super Kids/Track DaySuper Kids day is an end of school opportunity for our Pre-K - 2nd Grade students to participate in a half-day of "super" fun physical activities. Our PE teacher, Mr. Hatchett created activity stations containing a wide selection of games and challenges designed specifically for the target age group.Stone Ridge's first annual Track Day last May was an overwhelming success. Once Again, Mr. Hatchett designed numerous events for our 3rd - 5th Grade students. PTO was responsible for serving food and drinks for both events. Due to a generous donation, we were able to provide hotdogs and chips for the kids. |
