Congratulations Stacey Albracht, 2024 Simpson Volunteer of the Year

A big THANK YOU to each and every one of our volunteers! We could not do it without our amazing Simpson families and community members who selflessly volunteer their time, whether it is to help for a few hours or throughout the year.

Join us in CONGRATULATING and THANKING Simpson's 2024 Volunteer of the Year, Stacey Albracht!
Stacey has served as PTSA Co-Vice President the last two years and Membership chair before that. She has worked tirelessly with her committees to organize school supply kits, spirit wear, monthly staff hospitality/appreciation, membership, communications, spirit nights, coordinate donations for the school PBIS store, Silent Auction and volunteers in the Front Office!

Thank you Stacey for all you do to support our students and school, you will be greatly missed next year!

Glass Recycling - Help SEET win BIG for Simpson!! - Mar. 16th

The Simpson Eagle Environmental Team "SEET" is working on a Glass Recycling project in March. Please don’t throw out any glass over the next few weeks. Set it aside for a great cause! We will collect glass for a recycling contest on Saturday, March 16th, here on campus.

 

We learned that glass sent to regular recycling centers is rendered mostly useless, but glass sent to special recycling centers dedicated to glass is 100% recyclable.

 

The glass we collect from families and staff (and yes, any kind of glass bottle is fine – just rinse it out, please 😉) can earn Simpson up to $2500 to reinvest in the school.

 

Participating families will earn PBIS points for students and
be entered into a raffle for many other prizes!

Eagle Pride - 2024 Spring Semester 5K Challenges

Achieving a goal often requires stepping out of your comfort zone and embracing discomfort.

 

It's in those challenging moments, when you push past the urge to quit or give in to fear, that you truly discover what is possible. The process of overcoming discomfort builds resilience, determination, and confidence. Let's join together as a community, get active, and learn that we're capable of more than we may have initially believed.

 

Health and Wellness committee chair Shonda has curated a list of all of the fun runs/jogs/walks coming up in the next few months if your family is interested in participating
