September 2014
We hope that you and your families had a wonderful summer break.
The PTO was busy during the summer months planning some great activities for the
2014-2015 school year. We have added some new programs like Bingo Night and
International Night. We will also continue to host many of our popular events. A full
calendar of events can be found on the PTO website at
http://www.clarenceschools.org/webpages/SHPTO.
Please take a look at the sidebar list of Important Dates for the upcoming PTO
activities.
We very much enjoyed hosting the new family breakfast this year and had a great
turnout. Welcome to all of our new families!
Important things to know….
• Mark your calendars to attend Sheridan Hill’s Annual Fall Fest on September 19th!
We have a fun filled night planed with pony rides, a petting zoo and don’t forget
the pie eating contest. We will have complimentary donuts and cider, and there
will be pizza and hot dogs available for sale.
• Say CHEESE! Mark your calendars for school pictures on September 17th. Watch
for more information to come home in the backpacks.
• The Annual Night Out Auction will be held on March 20th, 2015. The auction is our
most important fund raising opportunity of the year. Look for more information
to come.
A special thank you goes out to Kate Buchbinder for organizing the School Supply Kits
again this year. It makes getting those school supplies so much easier.
Please join us at the first PTO meeting of the year on September 9th at 7 pm in the

UB Football Sheridan Hill Spirit Day
We are excited to announce that we will again be offering Sheridan
Hill students the opportunity to attend a football game at UB! Sheridan
Hill Spirit Day is scheduled for Saturday, September 27th where your
UB Bulls will take on Miami University (Ohio). Sheridan Hill students will receive a complimentary
ticket and families can purchase tickets for $10! This is a great fundraiser for Sheridan Hill as UB has
offered to split the profit from the tickets sale with our school! Please join us for a fun day of family
friendly tailgating, a great pre-game concert (Three Dog Night), and an exciting football game! Get
there early to be included in a special on-field pre-game ceremony! All ticket orders must be received
by September 19th.
Ticket orders and payment should be sent to school in an envelope marked:
Bulls Spirit Day- Attn UB: Shawn White
Checks payable to University at Buffalo Athletics
Tickets can be picked up in the cafeteria as follows.
Tuesday, September 23rd 2:00 pm-3:30 pm

** Alternate methods for ticket distribution will be considered on an individual basis.
Please contact Shawn White at 741-4605 with any questions.
DON’T FORGET TO SEND
IN YOUR BOX TOPS!!
Please be sure to cut each box top along the
dotted lines (as shown below) before sending
in to school. It is quite time consuming if the
PTO has to cut each box top before sending
in for credit.
You can send your box tops in with your child
or drop off to Mrs. Zadvorney in the Art room.
If you would like to help, please email
Elizabeth Siderakis at [email protected].
