Editing Sagamore reference

This is a ''work in progress (as of 2013-07)'' to provide a comprehensive reference for [[Sagamore Hills Elementary School]].

Take a look at (and contribute to) [[Sagamore information inventory 2013]], [[Sagamore communication]], and whatever else you can find.  Then, [http://www.9.0ne.org/mw/index.php?title=Sagamore_reference&action=edit edit this] to be all Sagamore answers to everyone. :)

Email or join the [[Sagamore discussion list]] to… discuss.  ([http://list.9.0ne.org/archive/sagamore/2013-August/000020.html Word went out 2013])

==FAQ==

Maybe a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions (the Internet age version of Q&As)) format would be good?  List them here and maybe answer them too.

===When does my child eat lunch (so I might join them)?===

Since grades eat at different times, that answer isn't obvious.

===What is ''Wonderful Wednesday''?===

One a month, we have ''Wonderful Wednesday'' to show appreciation for our wonderful faculty and staff.  On Wonderful Wednesday, parents provide breakfast and lunch items to the teacher's lounge for all of our Teachers and Staff to enjoy.
