BLOG BITS 11/9/12 ……… Happy Friday Georgetown Parents!
NEWS FROM THE OFFICE………. First let me start with this….. hope you are all sitting down….. BELIEVE IT OR NOT….. ONLY 7 school days until Thanksgiving Break!! Hold on tight because it is only going to get busier with the holidays coming. Remember too that our Holiday Program is in NOVEMBER this year, so that will creep right up on us also. It was a very busy week here at Georgetown. We had Parent/Teacher Conferences this week on three evenings and we held our annual fall Book Fair. The Book Fair was very busy so hopefully your kids came home with some good reading material!
NOVEMBER LUNCH MENU ……… is attached, as is a deposit slip if needed. Nov. 12 Hud. Elem-11 (1) Deposit Slip (1)
ILLNESSES AT SCHOOL……… We just wanted to remind you that we need students FEVER FREE FOR 24 HOURS WITHOUT MEDICATION and for students with the stomach flu they need to BE KEPT HOME FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS SINCE THEY LAST VOMITED. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. We need to do our very best to keep these viruses from spreading.
P.E. NEWS………… HUDSONVILLE P.E. CARES……. From November 5-16, we will be engaged in a school wide service project called TWO ACTS OF MINDFUL GIVING: LOCAL AND GLOBAL. We would like every child to donate 2 non-perishable food items and 2 dollars toward this service project.
The donation of non-perishable items go toward our LOCAL PE CARES:
- The Food collected will be donated to Water of Life Church which serves our community.
- The classroom that brings in the most items will be awarded a P.E. C.A.R.E.S. t-shirt and a trip to Hudsonville bowling lanes. NOTE: TWO is the recommended donation for each child. You can send in MUCH more to help your child’s class win the bowling trip.
- Thank you for your help and support in this LOCAL service project.
- If you have any questions please feel free to email Mrs. Nienhuis (tnienhuis@hpseagles.net) , or Mrs. VanKoevering (mvankoev@hpseagles.net).
The donation of $2.00 goes toward a GLOBAL project called, SPARK: Spread A Little Light.
- The money earned will go toward purchasing solar lights for Nyaka School in Uganda. The teachers of this school need the lights to walk to and from school in the darkness, light their books while they teach and to light their room as they complete lesson plans each night.
- Every student will receive a SPREAD THE LIGHT wristband as a thank you for mindful giving to this SPARK SOLAR LIGHT Project. Each class that earns a light ($30) will put a “light up” on the hallway display.
- Thank you for your help and support in this GLOBAL service project. If you have any questions please feel free to email Mrs. Reagan, treagan@hpseagles.net
