Greetings and welcome to the Sligo Creek Elementary School community. We are so happy you are here. The mission of the PTA is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. The SCES PTA does this by sponsoring academic, cultural, athletic and interpersonal development events and by providing resources to fill the gaps and enhance the MCPS experience.

Would your child enjoy running with friends after school?

The PTA-sponsored Sligo Creek Striders after-school run club will:

Introduce students to running as a lifelong form of exercise with a focus on participation and self improvement.
Improve social emotional skills and provide opportunities to socialize and bond with other young runners.

The Sligo Creek Striders are gender and ability inclusive for grades K-5.

We will meet Mondays from 4-5pm at the school track.

The Spring Session will run from Monday March 20th until May 22nd. *Note there will be no practice April 3rd or 10th due to spring break.

Cost for the 8 week run club will be $35 and will include a t-shirt and an end of season celebration.

If your child is interested you can sign up here. Spots are limited based on the number of coaches.

We are also recruiting coaches. Can you help? Prior experience running and coaching is NOT necessary! Please email sligocreekstriders@gmail.com with any questions.

Our school's annual World Culture Day event is coming up in a month's time. World Culture Day (WCD) is a parent led and PTA supported schoolwide that we have organized since 2016. WCD showcases the different countries represented in our school community and introduces students to different cultural practices with the goal of nurturing understanding, curiosity, tolerance, respect for each other and for people who come from different countries and/or have different cultural practices than our own.

Over the years, we have had a combination of parent/family presenters and embassy partners who present to all students during the course of a school day, sharing art, music, clothing, artifacts, food, geography, language, and other aspects of their countries and cultures.

We invite volunteers to sign up via this SignUp Genius. If you're new to SCES and/or would like to find out more about the event, please email farahnageer@yahoo.com.

And, if you, or someone you know, would be interested in sponsoring the event, please check out sponsorship details towards the bottom of the PTA Post and reach out to farahnageer@yahoo.com with any questions. Thank you SCES community!

We are so excited to be back at school. Here are some wonderful pictures of our students chalking the school and getting it beautiful for our return and lots of happy smiles on the first day back. We hope it's a safe, fun, calm, and wonderful year for our students, teachers and staff.

A huge thanks to Dara Goldberg, Amanda and Rob Hill, Tony Irish, John Kent, Vero Elizalde McCartt, Elisabeth Oppenheimer, Jolyn Russell, and incoming K parent Lauren (whose last name I didn’t catch, but how amazing is that? Not even at school yet and already at work!) for power washing and painting.

It looks incredible! So thankful for the willingness of this community to get their hands dirty.

The Lost & Found is outside under the breezeway at SCES from now (Wednesday, June 29) until Friday, July 1 around 4 PM.

I tried to hang all items with zippers (coats, raincoats, light jackets) on the rack but ran out of space so a few lightweight hoodies with zippers are on the ground.

These items will be donated on Friday after 4 PM. If you see something that belongs to you but can't make it to school in the next three days, let me know and we can put it aside in the PTA closet and get it to you at a later date.
