Mrs. Becky VanSomeren, the director of Early Childhood Daycare and Preschool (affectionately referred to as Eagle’s Nest) had her baby on June 1, 2010. She and her husband welcome Alayna Grace into their family…and oh what a blessing Alayna is to them!
Mrs. VanSomeren will be home with Alayna through the summer and return in the fall. Alayna is the fourth staff baby that we have welcomed this year. She joins Liam, Cameron and Amelia!
In order to keep reading going strong throughout the summer, we will be opening our Georgetown School Library once a week!
On Wednesdays,10:00-12:00 pm, we will have our library open for Georgetown students to 
check out books. This is a great time to try out some new books, re-read some old favorites, re-connect with friends, and see some of your favorite teachers.
Our first date for Wednesday check-out will be June 16. Mark your calendars and hope to see you there!
I will remind you of this each Tuesday with a blog post. Many thanks to Mrs. Bast (reading teacher) and Mrs. VandenBerg (librarian) for making this possible.

NEWS FROM THE OFFICE
Just a couple of quick things from the office staff…… PLEASE make sure to send notes to school with your student/students if they will be riding bikes, walking, or be picked up from school at the end of the day. It gets really busy in the office and the teachers are busy, so therefor it is alot to keep track of with all the changes throughout the day!
FIELD TRIPS and upcoming activites…….. please make sure to read notes that come home AND check your child’s teacher’s BLOG for important information in regards to their upcoming field trips and special activities. There are alot of things to remember this time of year and we are seeing alot of students coming unprepared for their special day! We especially need parents to make sure they have packed lunches for students if this is required for their trip as many times the buses leave for the field trip before parents can get to school with a lunch.
