DOLLARS FOR DANIEL

Meet Daniel, a first grader at Sigsbee, who has not been able to attend school this year.  Daniel was diagnosed with leukemia last spring and is currently undergoing chemotherapy in the hospital in Miami. His former teacher, Ms. McCauley, has been visiting him to provide some instruction, when he is well enough to receive it.

After Daniel was diagnosed last spring , his mother found out she was pregnant.  Pictured to the right is Daniel's new sister Nichole, a very recent addition to the family.  At the moment, Daniel's mother is staying with him and the baby, in the hospital.  Daniel's father continues to work in Key West and travel to see his family.

As you might imagine, Daniel's family is going through a lot and has many unexpected expenses related to his illness, the challenge of having him in Miami, and his mother's leave from work.  The staff at Sigsbee was able to raise $1,000 before Thanksgiving break to help the family with their expenses and will continue to connect them with organizations that will support them with related costs.

For the next three weeks, we will be running a Dollars for Daniel  drive at school, asking for monetary donations to support him and his family.  Donations can be brought into the office or given to the teachers to be placed in morning envelopes.  We just ask that you please identify the donation so that it is not confused with other collections.

Please encourage your children to get involved.  This is a great opportunity for them to donate some of their allowance or surrender one of their holiday gifts to make a difference in someone else's life.  Daniel's parents are extremely appreciative of your support.  Every dollar counts.
CONGRATULATIONS~

 Sigsbee Middle Schooler, Fernanda P., placed third in the Lion's Club Peace Poster Contest.  
Congratulations!

THANKSGIVING GRATITUDE
Thank you to all of the families who contributed to our Thanksgiving food drive.  We were able to donate non-perishable goods to over 30 needy families in our community.  The Middle School Student Council and NJHS were very helpful in assembling the goods and loading the cars.  Be on the lookout for December's sign ups.  We will be repeating this drive for the Winter Holiday.

SIGSBEE SCOOP Respect, Responsibility, Resilience January 16- January 22, 2017 WEEK AT A GLANCE: Monday January 16: Holiday: No School Tuesday, January 17: Ecology Club (3:15-4:15 PM) Wednesday, January 18: Enrichment- Early Out Thursday, January 19: SCS Board Meeting (4:00- 5:00 PM) Friday, January 20: Sunday, January 22: 8th grade car wash at VFW (10:00 AM -3:00 PM) A MEMORABLE EVENT AT SIGSBEE CHARTER SCHOOL Because of our transient student body and community, teachers at Sigsbee do not typically get to celebrate their students' elementary careers like most schools.  Many students move away within three years of arriving at Sigsbee. This leaves teachers thinking about former students and wondering how they are doing, where they have landed and what paths they have taken.   This week, it was our distinct pleasure to host the retirement ceremony of a former Sigsbee kindergarten student, Commander Greg Wilson.  Mr. Wilson was a student of Sig...
