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.

Book Fair!

12/4/2023 8:40 pm

 

It's time for the SCES Book Fair!!!
 
The Book Fair featuring Scholastic and Bonjour Books is right around the corner!! The Book Fair is December 11-15 from 9:30-3:30 and on December 12th will be open from 6-8pm with a night for adults to come shop and buy. Our goal is to make sure all the students can get books and provide a huge selection of books that celebrate diversity and inclusion. Parents are welcome to come and shop throughout the day during the Book Fair.
 
The children will be able to purchase books at any point during the week. They will have an opportunity to visit the book fair with their class throughout the week.
 
  • Scholastic books can be paid for by cash, credit card, check, or e-wallet. We are encouraging families to set up e-wallets for scholastic books. This is the easiest way for your child to not have to carry cash and be able to purchase what they would like.
  • Bonjour Books will be providing books in French for our students. To pay for these books, you can only use cash or credit card.
 
Volunteer: We are still looking for volunteers to help with all aspects of the book fair, from setting up to take down, running registers and helping students select books. It is a lot of fun to help the children chose and enjoy their books. Please sign up using the Sign up Genius if you are able to help. You do not need to sign up for a slot, just sign into the main office. If you have any questions, please contact bookfair@scespta.org
 
SSL Hours: If you have a 6th grader or above that can help out at night and would love to earn SSL Hours, please contact bookfair@scespta.org

The Salamander Stride is a non-competitive Fun Run that encourages physical activity and celebrates our students. It is a volunteer-planned community event where parents, guardians, and family members join staff to cheer our students on.

Every student who is able to stride, roll, walk, or run participates in the way they are able, and every dollar raised goes to fund the support and enrichment of staff and students at Sligo Creek Elementary School.

Celebrating Mr. B

6/19/2023 10:30 am

 
Mr. Julian B Brinson III, the incomparable Mr. B, is retiring.
 
If you or your student attended Sligo Creek Elementary School at any point during the past few decades, you without a doubt have a shining memory or two of Mr. B. He's unlike anyone else on this planet. His enthusiasm, his charisma, his unfailing cheer and unbeatable zest for life made every single day at SCES better.
 
His voice cheered on every student who ever ran in the Salamander Stride. His music and dance moves greeted us in the car circle and made us smile on the grayest of days.
 
During COVID, many of us stopped our work days to listen in as Mr. B shouted affirmations to our students over jumping jacks: "WOW! Look at you guys! I LOVE YOU GUYS!" and we all felt better. He lifted us up, entire families.
 
While we didn't have much time to plan for Mr. B's retirement, we managed to pull off a few fun things:
 
LifesizeMrB

He was bowled over by the life-sized Mr. Brinson that will grace the halls of SCES, giving that famous thumbs up forever! The kids love it and Ms. Brooks wished it a “good morning” when she came up the stairs without her glasses on. 😁

Ms. Urbantke painted the fantastic lettering above the gym last night and the plaque from the PTA dedicating the gymnasium to Mr. B will arrive today. It reads: “The Julian B. Brinson III Gymnasium - Dedicated to the heart of Sligo Creek - “We love you Mr. B!” From every student you inspired 1999-2023.” He was so excited and sent pictures to his wife and family and friends.

Finally, the Tribute video is up and running on a big screen in the gym and we all shed some tears together watching it. He’s so touched by all of the gifts (the t-shirt and plaque in the photo are gifts from families at SCES) and the outpouring of love from the community.
