News from the office….

The kiddos at Georgetown are comfortable with their routines and everyone is doing great! Thanks to such AWESOME support from the families at Georgetown, we were able to watch Mr. Gort, Mr. Bowen, Mr. Kooiker, and Mr. Rob sumo wrestle! The kids had so much fun watching and cheering them on! Thankfully we were able to get this in before the weather turned a bit cooler. With that said, we would like to remind you to label your child’s coats, hats, and anything else they might wear to school. We are sending a lot of items to lost and found already and labeling the items helps us find it’s owner. Thanks for your help!!

A remind from Mrs. Reagan: If you have not responded to the Parent Teacher Conference Survey, please do so this weekend.
