News and Updates

Welcome to 8th Grade!

We can't believe we're already in our last year at Sutton! Your 8th grade coordinators for the year are Jen Reves, Abby Ivie and Kara Williamson. We'll be sending out newsletters throughout the year to keep you updated on all things 8th grade. This first one has a lot of information, so please take the time to read it!

8th Grade Parent Social

Please join us on Wednesday, September 10, at Scofflaw's MacArthur Brewery from 6:30 to 9 pm for some drinks, little bites, good conversation and some Class of 2030 swag.

Drinks are on us for the first 50 who attend!

We'll be there to answer any questions you may have and will have QR codes on hand for all of your action items discussed below! (No students, please.)

Everyone who pays their student's dues online or in person by the end of the party will be included in a raffle to win a great prize! (You do not have to be present to win.)

In addition to these newsletters, we'll send out information via the Sutton Source, and we will also post information on our Class of 2030 Facebook page and PTA webpage (also linked at the bottom of this newsletter).

Please take a moment to create an account on the Sutton PTA website in order to receive the Sutton Source and all 8th grade emails and newsletters.

Click the icons at the bottom of this newsletter to make payments, volunteer, view/subscribe to our 8th grade calendar, email us, and access our Facebook and PTA webpages.
