Dear San Tan Families,
Hello wonderful families! We are rolling right along this week. Aside from our fun events of Learning Celebration, Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and Cultural fair coming up, we do MAP testing is starting the week after Thanksgiving.
I will be sending a separate email detailing the specifics of how to dismiss your student from class the day of learning celebration and what to expect for that day. Please read this email as it is a CHANGE from our typical drive lane norm.
Thank you!

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.
