谢谢, 감사합니다, Cảm ơn! These are just a few of the many ways we'd like to say thank you.
Thank you to our fantastic #TEAM of performers, student emcees, and event volunteers who worked hard to create a special Lunar New Year celebration last week! In addition to over $2000 of funds generously donated by SN families to host the event, over $1,000 was raised for our school from rattle drum, food, & drink sales!

Congrats to Ms. Boraz's class for winning the Scavenger Hunt Raffle prizes, thanks to Aliana G's winning ticket! Room 207 will receive LNY-themed prizes as well as an $88 Scholastic gift card for classroom use.
Events like this year's Lunar New Year Celebration are part of what make Skinner North so unique. With your help, we hope to continue this annually. We invite all of you to continue to support school-wide programming through donations of your time, money, and talent. To join our Diversity Committee, please contact us at sndiversity@gmail.com.
