HAPPY THURSDAY GEORGETOWN PARENTS!  (How is that for a change?)


NEWS FROM THE OFFICE……..Well we had a very good week here at Georgetown.  The Hope-Liverpool students were here for the week, so ask your students if they got to spend any time with them while they were here.  I think the students really enjoy having them around.  Our 5th Graders got off to camp without a hitch.  However, due to the lovely weather we have had they may be covered in mosquito bites from head to toe but I am sure they still had a GREAT time!  It is something they will never forget.  : )


PK/K LETTERS……. If you have an incoming PK/K student you should have received your letter in the mail stating what day your child will be attending as well as who their teacher will be.  We are just overwhelmed here at Georgetown how many new PK/K students we have entering the building this upcoming fall.  We will be having 4 Kindergarten classes and 2 Pre-Kindergarten classes!  WOW


A THOUGHT FROM THE OFFICE……. Just a little something to think about….. Remember as much as the rain is getting to each and everyone one of us, please remember we could have it MUCH WORSE as those in theSouth do right now.  Let’s remember to be thankful for what we have and do what we can to help others less fortunate!!  Let’s not forget about our Memorial day holiday on Monday and remember to think of those who have fought for us to be where we are today.

HAPPY FRIDAY AFTERNOON GEORGETOWN PARENTS!yellow_daisy_flower_growing_in_a_pot_0515-1103-2603-0549_TN


NEWS FROM THE OFFICE………  Wow what a busy week here at Georgetown.  We have just been hopping around here!  Our Raey Guang guests arrived here on Wednesday morning and participated in classroom activities and then spent their two evenings with their “host” families.  What a great experience for the Raey Guang students as well as for our Georgetown students!  Then thanks to our wonderful PTC members and all of the great Georgetown volunteer parents the staff here has been pampered all week long with breakfast and great lunches!  Wow, you are all way to good to us!!  Thanks for everything from each and everyone of us!


One VERY important message from the office…… we could really use some help from our Georgetown parents.  It would help the office staff AND the teachers greatly if you could PLEASE make sure to send a note in the morning with after school changes or early dismissals.  Lately we have been receiving many phone calls and emails to make changes to a student’s regular routine.  (Now with that being said, we are aware that there will be the occasional emergency change that will come up).  However, when we get calls to make changes for a student it causes us to interrupt the classroom and lately we receive ALOT of these changes at the END of the day and it is very hard to track down the teachers.  As far as emails go, the teachers are not able to check their incoming emails multiple times throughout the day as they are busy teaching and some of these messages are getting missed.  Notes are great,  so if you could please help all of us out and make sure to send these with the students in the morning that would be GREAT!!! : )  Thank you!


Now for the most exciting news from the office…….  only 23 more school days until summer vacation!!!  YIPPEE

YEARBOOKS…….. Your student should have brought home their yearbooks home this week.  The Office just wants to let you know that we have “extra” yearbooks for sale in the office.  These will be sold for $10 per yearbook. They will be available on a first come, first serve basis.  If you will be writing a check, please make it payable to “GEORGETOWN ELEMENTARY”.


PTC NEWS………. Well it is that time of year again, Spring Carnival!  Woo-Hoo!!  CALLING ALL GEORGETOWN BAKERS!!

(Or if you do not tell anyone …… bakery shoppers!) Our wonderful Spring Carnival committee has asked me to put out a PLEA for baked goods for one of our most popular carnival games….

Once the baked goods are gone, the game is over. : (
