Social Events
At South Loop Elementary School we believe that social and emotional development of students is important to helping them achieve success. Though a variety of activities, students are provided with some out of classroom time to mix and mingle with other students. Some of these activities include:
Back to School Picnic
 |
Grades PreK - 8th | Date: September 2012 |
There is nothing like a good old-fashioned barbeque to bring people together. So at the beginning of each school year, our South Loop Elementary School family gathers in the park adjacent to the school for food, games and socializing. It also provides families an opportunity to review options for volunteering or to shop our Uniform Resale Shop.
This year's picnic took place on Saturday, September 10th. Mother Nature cooperated by ordering up some nice warm weather and sunshine. Principal Shelton donned an apron and was busy serving up barbeque to the students and their parents. It was a great way to kick off our school year!

Scholastic Book Fair

Students get a taste of what it is like to go shopping with their classmates, and make purchasing choices by building their wish list of books at our Scholastic Book Fair. Parents can meet up with their child at the end of the day to review their selections and determine what they want to purchase. It is also a good chance for parents to shop for holiday presents or help a teacher fill their classroom wishlist! This fundraiser benefits the school with both book donations from Scholastic and return of a portion of the proceeds.
