Happy Friday Georgetown Parents!
NEWS FROM THE OFFICE…….. 
WOW…. we made it! Holiday Break is here. Today was a very busy day here at Georgetown with all of the parties going on. This is such a fun day for everyone, we started our morning off by the 3rd graders serenading us with Jingle Bells as they were on their way to the Polar Express party! This has to be one of my most favorite things at Georgetown! We hope you have a wonderful Holiday Season and enjoy your little ones while they are home with you over break. : )
GIRLS ON THE RUN……… CHANGE IN SHOE FITTING DATES.……. This will now be held at GEORGETOWN on MONDAY, JANUARY 7 from 3:45 to 6:00pm! Please make sure to mark this on your calendar if you have a daughter who is participating in the event. Thank you!
COATS/HATS/MITTENS……….. Parents please remember as it is getting colder that students need to be bringing coats/hat and mittens to school. We know there is not any snow yet, however, it has been really cold and windy the past few days. We have been seeing a lot of students outside without these essential items for recess. PLEASE REMIND your student that they need to wear these outside for recess too!! Thank you : )
LUNCH INFO…….. PLEASE remember when sending these in with your students that you include their FIRST/LAST name and TEACHER name on the envelope. The lunch room has been getting a lot of deposits without names and this is very difficult for her to determine who the deposit goes to. Especially when it is a cash deposit!! Thank you. : ) Also attached is the January lunch menu and deposit slip…. Jan. 2013 Hud. Elem. Menu-2 Deposit Slip (1)
CALL INS and LATE ARRIVALS………… Please try to remember to call in for your student if they are not going to be attending school for the day OR even if they will be a late arrival. Especially with illnesses on the rise right now, we have been needing to make more phone calls home to check on students who are not accounted for. With 625 students in this building it can take quite a while to get through attendance. If you can help us with this matter that would be great! Please remember you can call the office number 24/7 and leave us a message. Thank you : )
