Big Event of this week: Wear your RED WHITE and BLUE – Georgetown Olympics WALK•A•THON — our only PTC (Parent•Teacher •Child) Fundraiser for this year. You can find out more about the event here. The funds raised from this event allow us to provide many opportunities for learning and events at Georgetown. This year, we lost revenue when corporations eliminated cash for school programs (TARGET, MEIJER, GORDON FOODS, LABELS for EDUCATION). As a result, we rely on your annual donations more than ever.
Your donations make a HUGE DIFFERENCE…so please consider helping us out this year. One need that we have this year at the school wide level: New classroom voice amplification systems. This system broadcasts the teacher’s evenly to all areas of the room — guaranteeing that all students hear the learning directions. Our voice amplification system is 11 years old — lasting 4 years longer than projected. We plan to replace a few each year ($750 for each room). Thank you in advance for your donations! If you have any questions about the walk•a•thon and/or would like to volunteer, sign up on VOLUNTEER SPOT or contact amandabeaimpens@gmail.com
