News from the Office…

We have been so fortunate to be able to get the kids outside. Keep in mind, if it is muddy outside, boots is still a good idea. Last weekend, Georgetown was transformed into a scene from Hollywood! I have talked to many girls who had such a great time at the daddy daughter dance and it seemed to be a very fun night! Thank you to Penny Johnson and her crew of volunteers for putting together such a great event!! Parent Teacher conferences are coming up and also book fair will be the same week. Be sure to check it out when you come to meet with your child’s teacher!! We hit the month of March!! That means we are getting so close to Spring Break already! 4 more weeks! Time flies when we are having fun! Our first day off for Spring Break is March 31 and will go through April 9.

We are asking for your help and cooperation with something that we have had several complaints with. Please Please Please if you are picking up or dropping kids off, park your car in a parking spot and come in to the building. It will not only help with the flow of traffic, but also keep the kids safer!! In the morning if you are dropping off, please do not sit parked in the circle drive. We need to keep the flow of cars able to move. We sincerely appreciate you help with this!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
