Trivia Question... what teachers have ALL the students?

Answer: Specials Teachers.

What's another sign of an upcoming school year?

Teacher Amazon Wish Lists. Love them!!

You may not know which teacher your student(s) will have yet for this coming year, but you can always pick a past teacher, a specials teacher (who they have EVERY year) or just make a random selection.

They all appreciate your kindness. And kindness can be shown for just a few dollars.

Be sure to select their designated delivery address to make it super simple for them to receive their items.

We will split them up by grade level in the following posts. Not all teachers are done with their lists so they will be added as they have been turned in.

Happy Shopping!

The Santa(n) Shop opens TODAY through lunch on Friday!! The elves were busy shopping all year to provide our Stormers with gift options for EVERYONE!

Presents for Mom, Dad, Grandparents, siblings and... well, themselves! Cash and check accepted only.

Shopping can happen at assigned classroom times and at lunch.

Support Staff (Custodians, Crossing Guards, Lunch Duty, Officer)

Specials (PE, Technology, Music and Media) and Resource Staff (OT, PT, Speech, Counselor, etc.)

Specialized Classrooms and Classroom Support Staff (Paras)

Fifth and Sixth Grade Teams

Third and Fourth Grade Teams

First Grade and Second Grade Teams

Preschool and Kindergarten Teams

First up... those smiling faces who greet you and keep the school running smooth.

Administration Team and Office Support

If Santa wants to know what good teachers and hardworking school staff want for the holidays, he knows to look no further than their Favorite Things sheet kept in the office.

To make that trip into school easier, we will post each one here on Facebook grouped by grade or occupation.

Please know that while gifts to teachers and staff are appreciated, they are purely optional. They also enjoy notes from their students and families too!

Consider a nice note to one of our unsung heros... the custodians, crossing guards, lunch duty attendants or one of the many others who keep the campus running smoothly. We are a lucky Santan Community!

And even MORE fun!

Thank you Liz Haveman for these great photos!

Who had fun at the Carnival on Friday night? Looks like everyone!

It was a great celebration of Santan's 20th Anniversary and an amazing time for all Santan Stormers... past and present.

A huge THANK YOU to the Santan teachers, staff and administration who took a long week and made it so much fun!

Here are just some of the photos taken that night. Thank you Tyra Ortiz!

The Silent Auction is looking amazing for tonight’s 20th Anniversary Carnival.

Tickets and Wristbands available at the ticket booth. Pre-sales have been delivered to students.

Fun starts at 5pm.

See you there!

It's almost CARNIVAL DAY!!

Forget to order wristbands and tickets?
The online order form will turn off for good on Wednesday afternoon. That's right, we are giving a little extension. Use it.

After that... you will get to stand in line on Friday.

Completed Orders (those with payment) will be sent home starting tomorrow. Dig them out of those backpacks!

Want to help? Sign up to work your Teacher's Booth and give them a break. Most teachers/grade levels have Sign Up Geniuses to work their booths and most have A LOT of open slots. 30 minutes of your time will make a HUGE difference. Ask your Teacher(s).

Do you enjoy standing in line watching other people have fun with your child getting cranky by your side?

No?

Pre-order your Carnival wristbands and tickets before MONDAY'S deadline!! Or stand in line. And don't forget to pay for your order too!

Go Storm! Happy 20th Anniversary!

It's CARNIVAL time!! And this year is extra special since we are celebrating 20 AMAZING years of Santan Elementary.

Join us for a fun evening of celebrating all Stormers, past and present, raise funds for the classrooms and create some memories.

Save A LOT of time in line at the carnival and place your pre-order. Wristbands and game booth tickets can be purchased using the QR code below. Payment can be made via PayPal ([email protected]). Orders must be received by November 13th and will be delivered to the classroom by November 16th.

Hard to believe October is already almost over! If you’ve been busy this past month, shopping for bits for your costume, prepping for fall break travels, or checking out the new Scheel’s, don’t forget those receipts!!! School Cents is giving great incentives for submitting your receipts before the end of the month, so check it out! The online process is quick and easy, and you’re also welcome to drop receipts in the box at the front office. Stay tuned, too, for upcoming holiday incentives!

What's better than video games and pizza... at lunch... at school?

NOTHING.

On Tuesday, Stormers who reached the highest level of donations during the "Fun"raiser got to get in some video game time and pizza during their lunch hour.

Also, it's under 100 degrees. Breakout the sweatshirts.
The 20th Anniversary Sweatshirts were also handed out to those who earned them in the fundraiser.

Up next? Class parties...

Santan Elementary School

Crazy week ahead? Let us help you. No need to plan dinner for Thursday night. Order a delicious pizza from Barros and skip the cooking. Santan earns 20% and you get pizza. Win Win!

The Santan "Fun"raiser raised a LOT of fun(d)s for our Stormers! A huge thank you to each family for bringing the FUN home.

The success was celebrated with two assemblies filled with FUN, chaos and laughter. Not a bad way to end the quarter. Raffle winners were announced and Ms. Saadi, the World's Most FUN PE Teacher, hosted a game that sent the players running.

A HUGE thank you goes to our awesome administration and teachers who were willing to show their silly, and we do mean SILLY, when a Teacher vs. Student Silly String Battle broke out. The winner is unknown, but fun was had by all.

Enjoy the pictures! (and a big thank you goes to Liz Haveman who managed to get amazing photos in the midst of chaos).
