Sawgrass Elementary PTA

Our first-ever Wonderland ❄️ Holiday Gift Shoppe is officially closed!

We had an extremely busy and successful week of kids and staff shopping with us, volunteers helping and dedicating their time to all of our kids, and we appreciated all the support of your PTA.

Happiest of holiday wishes to all of our Sawgrass families. We hope you love the gifts 🎁 your kiddos chose special for you!

Day 4 of our holiday shoppe was our busiest yet and in the hustle and bustle, we didn’t get to snap any pictures! But just like our first three days, we are so incredibly thankful for our dedicated volunteer parents who stepped up and did a great job helping our kiddos shop!

Your kids who visited found some great gifts and are very, very excited to wrap them up and give them to you during your holiday celebrations.

Our fifth and final day of our first-ever Wonderland Holiday Gift Shoppe is Friday!

Let’s wrap up this holiday shop in a fantastic way, Sawgrass! 🎁❄️🤍

Tomorrow is Silly Sock Day! Wear your favorite silly, mismatched and/or colorful socks!

Fifth grade parents! If you volunteered for the JABizTown field trip Monday, or got pics of your child in their professional look, please send pics to:

Thank you!

Day 3 of our Holiday Shoppe was a lot of fun! It’s a joy watching the kids go over their list looking for the perfect gift for loved ones.

Big thanks to all our parent volunteers who did an excellent job keeping the stock filled, the registers ringing, and the kids focused!

Two days left!

Day 2 of our Wonderland Holiday Gift Shoppe was fantastic! We had happy and excited kids finding and buying gifts, PTA volunteers keeping busy with making sure our kids were getting all the help they needed and we’re excited for Day 3 today!

Happy Sunday, Sawgrass Family!

This week, 12/4-12/8, your PTA is hosting a Wonderland ❄️ Holiday Gift Shoppe 🎁 for all of our students ! A flyer and envelope, along with the day their class will be visiting the shoppe, was sent home last week.

They have the chance to personally shop🛍️ for great gifts for mom, dad, siblings, grandparents, uncles, aunts and their friends, too! Please send money in with your child if you’d like for them to shop and know you can also purchase a gift certificate online that they can use to shop.

We are SO happy to be able to bring this shoppe to Sawgrass and look forward to all the holiday excitement from the kids all week long as they come in to shop!

Wow! What an awesome time it was at the Boys Dance last night! We loved seeing our Sawgrass boys and their moms and chosen chaperones spending the evening together dancing, eating and having so much fun!

A special shout out to DJ Diego for spinning the tunes with awesome music to dance to, his contagious energy and all the games throughout the night! 🙌

To our parent volunteers - we could not do what we do without you. 🫶 We are beyond grateful for each one of you who stepped up to show our boys and their adult a great time!

🚨🚨REMINDER🚨🚨

PTA Meeting Wednesday in the Media Center!

SAC meeting is at 7:30 with PTA following immediately after (around 8ish).

Hope to see you there!

Hi Sawgrass Fam!

We’ve had a few of you ask, “What is the theme to the boys dance and how should we dress?”

The first:
We’re doing “Party Like It’s 1999!” this will include hits from the 90’s and 80’s, as well as looking back at the decades of music in the last half of the 20th century. If a style of music was popular between the 60s-1999, it’ll probably make the playlist.

Dress Code:
Informal dance, but feel free to dress like a music genre or musician, as long as they are within school code!

Some ideas:
Bell bottom jeans and tie dye shirt for the hippie bands of the sixties!
Track suit and chain for 80’s hip-hop!
Big hair, rock band shirt, and jeans for 80’s metal!
Borrow your dad’s leisure suit and show up for Disco!
Wear a tropical shirt and channel your inner Beach Boy, Weird Al, or Jimmy Buffet!

If your kid is not one to wear a costume,a shirt or polo with pants or shorts is fine too.

We’ll also have accessories for sale in fun neon if you prefer just a pop of color.

Thank you for reaching out and asking! We are so excited to see you all Thursday!!!

🪩🎉🎊🕺🏻✌️🤘🎧🎤🥁👩🏿‍🎤👨‍🎤🎸🪗🎊🎉🪩

Sawgrass parents, check your kids backpack for our latest pizza fundraiser! For fifteen dollars, you’ll receive the Nifty Fifty card, which gives 50% off your Papa John’s online and app orders.

We’ll be running this up to November 27. This would make a great stocking stuffer for friends and family!

Thank you! 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕

Reminder! No school tomorrow or Friday.

Our Fun Friday theme is in honor of next week’s Veterans Day. Students can wear camp or a shirt in honor of our armed forces.

Next Friday we are off in observation of Veterans Day.

Hi Sawgrass Family!

Some of our teachers have reached out for assistance with their classroom libraries.

The classroom libraries need all books scanned into our system. As you’ve seen during Open House and conferences, teachers have a lot of books for their students!

They could really use your help in scanning these into the system for record keeping.

Please click the link below to sign up. We have dates open from tomorrow-November 15th

As with any volunteer event, you *must* be approved by Broward County Schools. We will include a link in the comments for that.

And THANK YOU to those who have signed up! If you have tried to sign up and are experiencing any issues, please let us know.

To everyone trick-or-treating tonight, be safe, get plenty of rest, and don’t overdo it on the candy! 😉

We are in the 1k zone! What a great way to finish October.

Remember, this GoFundMe runs until the end of December. The grade that raises the most amount of money will earn a bounce house party!

Feel free to share 😉
