Laramie Letters 11.9.21
Letter from the Principal
Dear San Tan Families,
We are very excited about our Learning Celebration and cultural fair coming up this Friday! As a reminder, we do not have school on Thursday in honor of Veteran’s Day. We will NOT be having Drive Lane pick up on Friday due to learning celebrations. If you need the additional directions for learning celebrations pick up please click here.
Yearly, the school travels with EF to many different places around the globe. A couple staff members and I were very honored to be selected to participate in a training trip hosted by EF and will be leaving this Thursday for a longer weekend in Paris. As we have cultural fair on Friday, I will be posting on my @principal_laramie Instagram page different cultural highlights around Paris! I invite you to follow along!
Thank you!
– Mrs. Sarah Laramie

Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Dessert Donation
Occurring the day before Thanksgiving, Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is a tradition at San Tan Charter! Dr. and Mrs. Sippel began this tradition in the first Montessori Preschool class with bean soup. The tradition continues for families by bringing their own lunch and eating it picnic style outside as a community and brining desserts to share. The kids love this because this is the one-day sweets are allowed on campus! Please help us! Peruse our list and bring your favorite treat.
A few reminders: No NUTS, desserts must be baked, defrosted and ready at morning drive lane. There will be volunteers available to collect your dessert at drive lane and walk it over to the cafeteria to be cut.

We will also use this golf cart to help elderly fans make the long walk from the gates to the fields for games. We would like one that has seats in the back but can flip down so equipment and water can be carried.
