Dear SRA School Community,

Hard to believe, but March is upon us, and it promises to be an exciting month filled with opportunities for growth, learning, and community involvement. With the arrival of spring, our students are continuing to thrive and engage in meaningful educational experiences that prepare them for future success.

Upcoming Events and Key Dates

This month brings a number of exciting events and activities. Be sure to mark your calendars:

● Community Information Night (March 6th): A great opportunity to connect with teachers, learn about all the wonderful things we do here at SRA, and tour the building.

● Open House Days (March 11th & 26th): Come visit SRA during the school day to tour the school and see engaging learning in action!

● Spring Break (March 17th-21st): A well-deserved break for students and staff to recharge before the final stretch of the academic year.

● End of 3rd Quarter & MS Dance (March 28th): ½ day for students and our first middle school dance!

Student Achievements Our students have been working diligently in their classes, and we’re thrilled to see their growth. Special congratulations go to our students who competed in the recent MathCounts Competition. They placed 2nd and did a wonderful job representing SRA. These students, along with so many others, continue to show dedication and passion in their academic and extracurricular endeavors.

Updates

Staff and volunteers at SRA have been working hard to increase opportunities for our students. This includes recently acquiring 18 mountain bikes from the Laramie Middle School to start our own mountain bike program as well as writing two grants for the Recreation Mill grant. One grant was written to grow the mountain bike program, and the other to jumpstart the process to upgrade our playground.

Both of these grant requests will be discussed at the upcoming Albany County Recreation Board meeting which will be held March 24th, 2025 at 6pm at the ACSD1 Board Room at

1948 Grand Ave. If you would like to show your support for these projects, the public is welcome to attend and provide comments.

Important Reminders

● Please ensure that students are dressing appropriately for the fluctuating temperatures this month. Layered clothing will help them stay comfortable during the chilly mornings and warmer afternoons.

● Timely attendance remains a priority. Every day of instruction counts, and we appreciate your efforts in helping students arrive on time.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Let’s make March a month filled with achievement, growth, and joy for our school community!

Warmly,

Caroline Hickerson
Principal
