Please read the important message from Mrs. VandenBerg in regards to the new Overdue Library Book Email Notification system.  Some of you may have received an email this week informing you of overdue Library books.  These email notifications will be going out every Monday, beginning January 24, if your child has any books that are 21 days or more  overdue. We do not charge overdue fines so please don’t be alarmed.  The students are reminded weekly during their Library time of overdue books but may forget about these by the time they reach home.  Hopefully this will help get some of those books back.  Have a great day!  Mrs. VandenBerg

Girls on the Run – 2009

We have been fortunate for the past two years to host a chapter of the National Girls on the Run Program at Georgetown Elementary.  Registration for this program is going on now.  This program is available to girls in grades 3-5, with practices beginning in February, and a 5K race on May 16.

If you have a daughter that is interested in participating, please complete this registration:girlsontheruninfo

If you are interested in coaching, please view this document, GotRCoaches

Our school is also in need of a laison, a person that would help recruit coaches, match coaches to runners, and coordinate practices for the season.  This person can also be a coach, but this is not required.  It can be someone who simply loves the “organizational/administrative” side of volunteering.  If you are interested in being a laison, let me know by email (treagan@hudsonville.k12.mi.us) or phone (797-9797).  I will pass along the contact for this program.
