This year is going to be an awesome year of learning. Although we are starting the year unconventionally, I want to reassure you that I will be working hard to make sure your child gets all that they need out of their Kindergarten year. We as a school community are ready to do the best for our students. It is important to keep a routine for the best learning outcomes so we will have a predictable daily and weekly schedule. Communication is key for a successful school year.

Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need help with anything. We will be using Class Dojo for communication or email me at Balomar@scgstl.org. Let’s work together to make this a great school year!

Double Good Popcorn Fundraiser

Posted on December 2, 2021

It is that time of the year again!

SCGSTL has teamed up with Double Good Popcorn to raise money for the technology in our building. Our goal is to one day become a paperless school! Going paperless will give our children the competitive advantage of learning through technology as they navigate their educational journey. It will also help us try to eliminate our carbon footprint by saving trees.

Raising money for our school technology includes, but is not limited to:

Chromebooks for every child
Upgrades on the smartboards
Online resources for children
Upgrading WIFI and internet speed
Upgrading online assessments
Introduce competitive and informative STREAM programs
Provide professional development for teachers on the newest and latest instructional trends for children.

Why not offer your family, relatives, & friends the opportunity to purchase some of the best gourmet popcorn known to man and help raise money to create a competitive edge for your child(ren)’s education in technology.

The event is 100% online through Pop-Up Stores that you will create on your phone and send out to everyone! There is no money to collect, no forms to fill out, nothing to send out. All orders and payments are made online and the products are shipped directly to the customer ANYWHERE IN THE USA! All you do is keep sharing your Pop-Up store and watch your funds grow! Easy Peasy!
