HOLIDAY PROGRAM: December 17

GEORGETOWN ELEMENTARY

HOLIDAY PROGRAM

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2009

7:00 p.m.

*The dates have been adjusted to reflect our new date of December 17 due to the snow day on December 10.

Now that the Thanksgiving holiday is behind us, we have officially entered the holiday season!  Our school will be kicking this off with our annual Holiday Music Program on December 17, 2009.  This program is organized and arranged by Mrs. Bretz, our music teacher.  She has been working with our students since early October to learn music pieces for this holiday celebration.    We are again renting Resurrection Life Church for this event.  This church is located in Grandville (52nd Ave and Ivanrest).  Please enter off from 52nd Ave. After turning in the driveway, turn right at the first fork and follow the signs down to the Worship Center and  enter through Door K, which has a large canopy over it.

There is only one performance this year and we ask that no students are dropped off before 6:30 p.m.   We ask this for safety and security reasons,  as there will be no supervision for children before this time.

Students should be in their “meeting room” no later than 6:45 p.m. Once you enter through  Door K there will be signs directing you to the correct room.

Grades PK, k, 1 and 2 please meet in the CHOIR ROOM

Grades 3, 4 and 5 please meet in the CHAPEL ROOM

Parents and students are asked to stay for the entire program as there is adequate seating to accommodate everyone.  Students will return to sit with their teachers/class after they sing and  will be dismissed to their “meeting room” after the program for parent pick up.  PLEASE WAIT PATIENTLY IN YOUR SEATS WHILE STUDENTS ARE DISMISSED TO THEIR “MEETING ROOMS”.

Please note that based on rental guidelines with Resurrection Life Church,  we have been asked as a school  community to follow these procedures outlined below.

*The church will be locked during the day of the performance.  Doors will be open at 6:30 p.m.

* NO FOOD OR DRINK is allowed in the church.

*NO ONE IS ALLOWED ON STAGE. The stage is only for staff and students..

The program will be video taped for anyone who is interested in purchasing a DVD of the program.  The fee for this DVD will be $15.00 and checks can be made payable to WCET TV.  The order form is attached to this newsletter and MUST be turned into the office at Georgetown NO LATER than Tuesday, December 15.

We are looking forward  to seeing you at the performance!  If you would like to read Mrs. Bretz’s answers to commonly asked questions, please visit her blog.

Please look at the following links and attachments as they are maps to the church, map of the church, and a order form for the Holiday DVD.

Flu Vaccines

Reservations Still Available for School H1N1 Vaccine Clinics

State health officials stressed last week that residents should not become complacent when it comes to H1N1 flu.  While flu like disease reports have declined statewide recently, the numbers may very likely spike again during the holidays.  In Ottawa County, a total of 1,603 cases of flu like illness were recorded from November 15 through November 21, up slightly from the 1,377 recorded during the previous week (November 8 through 14).

The Ottawa County Health Department is still accepting reservations for free H1N1 vaccine clinics scheduled for:

-those between the ages of 6 months and 24 years old
-pregnant women
-people ages of 25 through 64 years of age who are at higher risk for novel H1N1 because of chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems

Silly Scavenger Hunt

Ever wonder what teachers do to be silly?  I have!  To help us all find out, I invited the teachers to all write posts this month about something silly they did over the summer.  You can visit their blogs to find out what it is they consider silly.  If you don’t see the post on the front section of the blog, simply type the word silly into the blog search area.

My silliness usually shows up when I am around really young children and dogs.  My dog, Cooper, brings out some of my silliest behavior, which I think he likes a lot.Silly

This summer, I decided it would be fun to teach Cooper how to be a “SURFIN’ DOG.”  Because he only weighs 12 pounds, I used a small kick board.  It was easy to teach him how to walk onto the board, but he had absolutely no intention of being pushed across the pool.  His idea of surfing was to cozy up to me and be gently rocked back and forth.  It was a silly idea…but it made for a great picture!

HAPPY HUNTING!
