Happy Friday!!
NEWS FROM THE OFFICE………. Well it has been an interesting week here at Georgetown. This is just an FYI message from the office staff…. we have sent home ALOT of students this week with the stomach flu!! YUCK : ( So just keep tabs on your students if they happen to tell you their stomach is upset. It is quite a bad stomach bug, mostly vomiting and headache. As a helpful reminder, please keep your child home for 24 hours after they have vomited for the last time. This is a huge help and helps to prevent the spread of the germs here at school. We are taking every precaution here too when the students get sick at school to sanitize.
CHRISTMAS PROGRAM…….. I know, I know it is early, but we just wanted to give you a head’s up as to the date and time. We have had many calls so we thought we would let you know that it will be THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9 AT 7:00PM at Resurrection Life Church in Grandville. More info will follow soon.
HELP NEEDED….. Good Afternoon! It is that time again to sign up to volunteer for the Holiday Gift Shop! The shop this year is Nov. 29 – Dec. 2.

GRIFFINS “SCHOOL NIGHT”……….. Your youngest and or only student should have come with a flyer for the Griffins “School Night”. Georgetown will be attending the event with Alward Elementary also. It will take place on Saturday, December 4 at 7:00pm. The ticket money MUST be turned in NO LATER than MONDAY, NOVEMBER 15! Please send it in with your student in an envelope marked “GRIFFINS TICKETS” to their teacher. Make checks payable to GEORGETOWN PTC. If you have any further questions please contact Staci Nieboer at 669-1923.
SNOW DAY PROCEDURE FOR HOT LUNCH………. I know, I know, I know…. it’s a little early to be talking like this, but we must do it and we were asked by food service to get this information out. So here it comes…….With snow just around the corner, the food service program would like to remind parents and students about what will happen if school is closed due to weather. If the district is closed, the menu that was supposed to be served on the snow day will be moved to the next school day. An example: ifschool is canceled on Tuesday due to weather, Tuesday’s menu will be served on Wednesday and the menu that was scheduled for Wednesday will be completely canceled. Because of our computer lunch account system, there will be no need to issue credits and your student will still be able to order a lunch if they need one. The only exception to this policy is if school is canceled on Friday. In this case, Friday’s
menu will be completely canceled and we will continue with the regular menu on Monday. Information on what menu will be served on the day you return will be available on the food service web page at www.jenhudfood.org. Please feel free to contact the food service department at 457-2400 if you have any questions or are unsure of what the menu will be. Thankyou! -Stacey L. Wykoski, Food Service Director.
P.E. NEWS……. Our “P.E. Cares” food drive just started! Last year we did an amazing job collecting non-perishable food items for the drive. This will be taking place until NOVEMBER 17. The class that donates the most food will win a “P.E. Cares” t-shirt and they get to go on a bowling field trip to Hudsonville Lanes with their teacher and P.E. teacher! So start collecting those cans!
COMMUNITY ED NEWS…….. Wacky Science at Georgetown is in need of some more students!! We just received word from Community Ed that we still are in need of a few more students to sign up for the class to be offered here at Georgetown. The class will be starting on Wednesday, November 17 and goes through December 15. It will go from 3:40 to 4:40p on Wednesdays and the cost is $58.
