Dear P<strong>are</strong>nts,<br />
Welcome back! I hope <strong>you</strong> and <strong>you</strong>r family had an enjoyable summer and<br />
found an opportunity <strong>to</strong> spend quality time <strong>to</strong>gether. Now that we have all<br />
had a chance <strong>to</strong> relax, we <strong>are</strong> gearing up for the new school year.<br />
We expect <strong>to</strong> have a great 2011-12 school year despite our budget<br />
challenges! Our instructional theme for the year will be “Create!” and will<br />
foster creativity in many disciplines. Our professional development focus will<br />
be on balanced literacy and arts integration. We will begin the year with inservices<br />
on a book study of Regie Routman’s Reading Essentials Transforming<br />
Our Teaching Through Reading To Understand. We will do a series of fourteen<br />
ninety minute Regie Routman in Residence professional development videos<br />
during the course of the year. We will again use a professional development<br />
day <strong>to</strong> pair an arts teacher with each grade level <strong>to</strong> develop new artsintegrated<br />
lesson plans. We will have monthly in-services called “Technology<br />
Tuesdays” <strong>to</strong> learn how <strong>to</strong> fully utilize the updated technology purchased last<br />
year in the REFRESH plan.<br />
With renewed energy, we will continue addressing our multi-year goals for<br />
continuous school improvement. These goals <strong>are</strong> based on data analysis and<br />
<strong>are</strong> listed below. Strategies and action plans for implementing these goals<br />
<strong>are</strong> <strong>to</strong>o detailed for inclusion in this document, but <strong>are</strong> available on the S<strong>to</strong>ne<br />
Academy web site:<br />
www.greenville.k12.sc.us/<strong>s<strong>to</strong>ne</strong>.geninfo/quality.asp<br />
1. We will reduce the percentage of students scoring below basic and<br />
increase the percentage scoring advanced and proficient on PACT language arts.<br />
2. We will reduce the percentage of students scoring below basic and<br />
increase the percentage scoring advanced and proficient on PACT math.<br />
3. We will improve the technology skills of teachers with staff development,<br />
and students with technology-integrated projects. We will offer technology<br />
training <strong>to</strong> p<strong>are</strong>nts.<br />
4. We will increase communication and collaboration between teachers and<br />
p<strong>are</strong>nts in the education of students.<br />
We <strong>are</strong> delighted <strong>to</strong> tell <strong>you</strong> that the <strong>Greenville</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />
Board voted on August 23 <strong>to</strong> approve the administration’s<br />
recommendation <strong>to</strong> purchase .253 acres located adjacent <strong>to</strong> the<br />
S<strong>to</strong>ne Academy Townes Street parking lot. Hopefully this<br />
land will be graded and paved for additional parking by<br />
early 2012.<br />
We look forward <strong>to</strong> seeing <strong>you</strong> at the September<br />
open house/curriculum night. Please come <strong>to</strong> visit<br />
<strong>you</strong>r child’s classroom and learn about important<br />
procedures and get an overview of the year’s curriculum.<br />

Boosterthon Fun Run<br />
We <strong>are</strong> so excited <strong>to</strong> bring <strong>to</strong> S<strong>to</strong>ne<br />
Academy...”Boosterthon Fun Run!” This is going <strong>to</strong><br />
be our Fall fundraiser and takes the place of our<br />
previous fundraiser, Innisbrook. The Boosterthon<br />
Fun Run program lasts nine days and has three<br />
parts: Pep Rally, Team Days and Fun Run. This<br />
is a family-friendly, community building event<br />
that includes every student! There is no door-t0door<br />
selling. Students help their school simply<br />
by gathering pledges/donations from friends and<br />
family. Sponsors can pledge a per-lap amount or<br />
flat donation <strong>to</strong>ward that student’s Boosterthon<br />
Fun Run. The lap average for all students (around<br />
our school track) is 25-35.<br />
The Pep Rally is the opening kick-off <strong>to</strong><br />
Boosterthon and the Boosterthon team (sent<br />
from Boosterthon headquarters) leads this<br />
exciting assembly-style meeting in the school<br />
gym. The team explains what will be happening<br />
over the next week and also talks about how the<br />
students will learn character lessons over the<br />
next six days. Every student will receive a t-shirt,<br />
an informational pledge pack and their own<br />
personal access code <strong>to</strong> fun<strong>run</strong>.com.<br />
The next six days <strong>are</strong> Team Days. The team<br />
spends a few minutes each day (3-5 minutes) in<br />
the classroom talking about the character theme,<br />
rewarding students for helping their school and<br />
creating a class team with their teacher as the<br />
coach! T<strong>hey</strong> pick a team name and create a team<br />
banner.<br />
The Fun Run is the day everyone has been<br />
waiting for! The ‘Boosterthon Speedway’ is set<br />
up early in the morning. When students arrive <strong>to</strong><br />
class, t<strong>hey</strong> put on their Boosterthon t-shirts and<br />
prep<strong>are</strong> <strong>to</strong> come out <strong>to</strong> the Speedway! Students<br />
<strong>run</strong> for 30 minutes <strong>to</strong> upbeat, themed music.<br />
P<strong>are</strong>nts and grandp<strong>are</strong>nts line the inside of the<br />
track as the official cheer squad!<br />
As <strong>you</strong> can see, we <strong>are</strong> really excited <strong>to</strong> bring<br />
this fitness emphasis, character program <strong>to</strong> S<strong>to</strong>ne<br />
as our Fall fundraiser! The dates for our event <strong>are</strong><br />
Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 10-21, 2011.<br />

From the PTA President...<br />
Dear S<strong>to</strong>ne Families,<br />
Welcome back! I hope <strong>you</strong>r school year has<br />
gotten off <strong>to</strong> a great start! The PTA is very excited<br />
<strong>to</strong> be back at school and is looking forward <strong>to</strong><br />
another great year at S<strong>to</strong>ne Academy! First let me<br />
welcome Leora Riordan <strong>to</strong> this year’s Executive<br />
Board as the Vice President of Communications &<br />
Hospitality. Leora has been a p<strong>are</strong>nt at S<strong>to</strong>ne for 9<br />
years and has served on the Board many times in<br />
various capacities. As we gain one, we have also<br />
lost another dear friend. Many of <strong>you</strong> al<strong>ready</strong><br />
know that my Co-President, Kate Combs, recently<br />
moved <strong>to</strong> Wilming<strong>to</strong>n, North Carolina, as a result<br />
of her husband’s transfer. She will be greatly<br />
missed by those of us who have grown <strong>to</strong> rely on<br />
her wisdom and friendship! We wish the Combs<br />
family much luck in their new endeavor and I will<br />
be forever grateful for Kate’s continued advice!<br />
This summer we were fortunate <strong>to</strong> have the<br />
time and resources for several improvements that<br />
will make a positive impact each student. First<br />
off, the entire dance floor in Ms. Poole’s studio<br />
was replaced with a state of the art flooring<br />
system that should never have <strong>to</strong> be replaced or<br />
refurbished. This wonderful improvement was<br />
made possible using funds from Arts Alive and<br />
will serve dancers for years <strong>to</strong> come! Secondly, we<br />
owe a big thank <strong>you</strong> <strong>to</strong> our Arty Dance Party DJ<br />
(and S<strong>to</strong>ne P<strong>are</strong>nt), Josh Wyatt, for the new sound<br />
system in our cafeteria! Josh was able <strong>to</strong> purchase<br />
the equipment at cost and install it himself, thus<br />
saving us thousands of dollars that can now be<br />
used elsewhere! Now we will be able <strong>to</strong> hear our<br />
guest speakers clearly and enjoy our student<br />
performances even more than we al<strong>ready</strong> do! And<br />
last but not least, I want <strong>to</strong> thank my husband,<br />
Rob, for helping me create our first PTA website!<br />
This will not only save paper, but it will allow<br />
us <strong>to</strong> pay for things on line using a credit card<br />
or PayPal account! Some of the websites features<br />
include: purchasing <strong>you</strong>r PTA membership,<br />
donating <strong>to</strong> field trip scholarship funds, making<br />
donations <strong>to</strong> <strong>you</strong>r child’s classroom, making<br />
reservations & paying for PTA dinners & viewing<br />
the Direc<strong>to</strong>ry (password protected) on line, just<br />
<strong>to</strong> name a few!<br />

As <strong>you</strong> may remember from our last Spring<br />
meeting, S<strong>to</strong>ne Academy was one of ten schools<br />
<strong>to</strong> be chosen for the Coordinated Approach<br />
<strong>to</strong> Child Health or CATCH program. Our Food<br />
Service workers spent much of their summer at<br />
the Culinary Training Camp taught by Chef Ron<br />
Jones, learning new recipes made from scratch<br />
with locally sourced food. I hope <strong>you</strong> will come<br />
by the cafeteria and try our new lunch menu with<br />
<strong>you</strong>r child.<br />
Healthier lunches <strong>are</strong> just a beginning. As part<br />
of the Live Well <strong>Greenville</strong>, we <strong>are</strong> encouraging<br />
p<strong>are</strong>nts and students <strong>to</strong> make better choices in<br />
all aspects of our lives. This includes, eliminating<br />
unhealthy food from our fundraising, making<br />
healthier choices for birthday & classroom<br />
celebrations and creating a safe environment<br />
for our children <strong>to</strong> walk or bike <strong>to</strong>/from school;<br />
all of which <strong>are</strong> ge<strong>are</strong>d <strong>to</strong>wards creating a<br />
positive impact on the health of our students and<br />
families, essentially, helping us <strong>to</strong> Live Well!<br />
Speaking of walking or biking <strong>to</strong>/from<br />
school... S<strong>to</strong>ne Academy will participate in<br />
the International Walk <strong>to</strong> <strong>School</strong> Day, the fist<br />
Wednesday of Oc<strong>to</strong>ber, <strong>to</strong> raise aw<strong>are</strong>ness about<br />
the benefits of adding this healthy activity <strong>to</strong> our<br />
daily lives. I hope <strong>you</strong> will join us as we create<br />
safe routes <strong>to</strong> school. If <strong>you</strong>r morning routine<br />
simply doesn’t allow this or <strong>you</strong> live <strong>to</strong>o far away,<br />
take an evening stroll with <strong>you</strong>r family or park<br />
close by and walk the rest of the way!<br />
I want <strong>to</strong> leave <strong>you</strong> with a brief look at the<br />
fundraising opportunities that we have going on<br />
in Fall. Your $1 donation on each of these days,<br />
will go <strong>to</strong>wards helping someone less fortunate<br />
<strong>to</strong> participate in their classroom field trips!<br />
