|  Presidents' Corner Happy New Year and welcome back to school! January is a busy month as we kick our Stampede planning into overdrive. Look below for division parent mixers, sponsorship opportunities, and volunteer openings. Everyone is welcome to attend the Stampede full committee meeting on January 18. There are so many opportunities for you to become involved! We're also getting ready for our middle and upper school Lunch With Dad events. Please remember that registration is required for your child to be released from class to join you. Just click here.
Finally, be sure to check out Shelton's beautiful, newly redesigned website! Under the Parents tab you'll find a Parents' Association link that will take you to lots of information, including back issues of the Scoop.
We hope everyone had a restful break and is ready to charge ahead in the new year!

Thank You! The close of 2016 was marked by tremendous generosity by our Shelton parents toward our Shelton staff in form of donations to Holiday Happiness. Thank you to everyone who contributed to Holiday Happiness and helped make this special gift to all employees of Shelton. Truly this gift is SO appreciated by all and could not be possible without the outpouring of support from you, our Shelton community! We would like to especially thank Molly Banowetz, the Holiday Happiness Chair for her leadership. Her passion for recognizing the staff with this gift was apparent with her many eblasts and push to donate. Thank you!
