Teacher/Staff Appreciation - Gift Card Drive
SVE has more than 20 non-classroom teachers/staff that support our students.  This includes enrichment teachers, P.E. teachers, classroom aides, special education teachers, office staff, librarian, counselor, speech teacher, psychologist,  cafeteria staff and more!  Please consider donating a gift card or two for our non-classroom teachers and staff.  KidsFirst will distribute cards to these amazing educators during Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week next week.  Any amount to any store is appreciated, but we’re especially looking for $5-25 cards to coffee shops, Amazon, and Target.  A box is located at the front office if you'd like to drop off a card - be sure to indicate the dollar amount of each card and please do not specify an individual the gift card is for.  Kids or families can write their names on the cards, if they’d like.  If you're unable to pick up a card and would like to contribute, you can send payment to Lauren Litteken via Venmo (@Lauren-Litteken) and she will do a final purchase of cards prior to the distribution.  Please consider donating or dropping off gift cards by next Tuesday, May 7th.

3rd and 4th Grade Variety Show – Additional Audition Dates Added!
We know some students weren’t able to attend the original audition dates for the SVE Variety Show, so we’ve added two more opportunities to try out:
- Tuesday, May 6 at 8:30 AM (before school)
- Wednesday, May 7 at 8:30 am (before school) 
- Wednesday, May 7 at 3:45 PM (after school)
An updated online sign up form will be sent to your classes via Konstella. If your child is still unable to make either of these sessions, please reach out to Jo Jo Cadwell or Rebekah D’Ascoli and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
