BLOG BITS from the Office 2/19/10

Good Friday Afternoon!!

NEWS FROM THE OFFICE

Wow what a Friday!  Popcorn day and Freddie Fusion rocked the house!!  : )  Make sure you ask you kids about the assembly they had today.   We do not have a whole lot of new news this week, but please take the time to just read through things to make sure nothing has been missed!

FAMILY FARE REMINDER………THE FIRST WEEK IS THIS COMING MONDAY!! Family Fare has just given us our “Cash for Class” dates.  Please help support our school as you do your grocery shopping during these dates.  The first dates that will be coming up are February 21-27. The second week for this event will be held from April 18-24.This is a great way to help out our school without even having to go out of your way!

JIMMY JOHN’S NIGHT…….  Please come out and support Georgetown!  This coming Tuesday, February 23, will be our second Jimmy John’s Night.  We will receive a portion of the nightly sales.  We will be sending home reminder notes with youngest and only on Monday.  Please don’t forget to give them your teacher’s name when placing the order.  The event will take place from 5p-9p!  DON’T FORGET THEY DELIVER!!  : )

BOX TOPS….. A new program is available through Box Tops for Education called ‘My Class Essentials’.  Many of our teachers have created a registry for their class using My Class Essentials.  The registry is filled with items and supplies needed for their classroom.  Parents can view their child’s classroom registry, purchase the items that are needed or donate money to the classroom registry.  The classroom, students, and teachers get the items they need and our school earns a 2% cash donation on every purchase.

Please visit btfe.com/myclassessentials to search for your teacher’s registry today and help your child’s classroom!  If you have any questions, please contact Angel Truman at Angeltruman@sbcglobal.net.

4th GRADE FIELD TRIP ….  Just to clarify things for parents and students.  The upcoming field trip for the 4th graders to Lansing will be held on WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17.  The students will be traveling on Cardinal Charter buses and will be leaving school around 9am.  The students do get back to Georgetown around 4:30pm so they will need to be picked up by a parent or guardian.

COMMUNITY ED NEWS……  The only new Community Ed activity that I have this week is for Spring Golf Lessons.  You may register online at www.hudsonvillepublicschools.org.  You may also fill out and return the attached form.  If you have any questions, please contact Community Ed at 669-1740, ext 3.  Don’t forget also that we have forms for this activity and the others that I have sent out in the rack outside of the office.
