A group of Dad’s who care about kids is hosting a open skate time at the Georgetown Ice Arena for all Georgetown families and staff. This will be held on April 24 from 4:30-6:00 pm.
This group of dads has done a great job of supporting our Bustin’ Thru Books project and they would like to continue involving dad’s in the school setting.
To find out more, read this flyer. Georgetown Family Skate. We would love to see you there!
If you are a dad of a child at Georgetown and have wondered how you can volunteer at school, we have 
the opportunity for you! Jeff Wressell has organized a volunteer program called D.E.S.K (Dad’s Empowering Super Kids) and this will kick off in partnership with our Bustin’ Through Books program. The philosophy of DESK can be found here: Dad’s Vol Program
Please consider participating in this opportunity! We would love to have you participate and be present in the school.

Where is this year going? We are half way through the 2009-10 school year–and to me it seems that it is flying by! As we look ahead to this week, please note that our all school PJ and Popcorn Day is this coming Friday!
In addition, the first parent meeting regarding changes in the programing for the Cognitively Impaired Program will be held at Park Elementary on Thursday at 4 pm. An additional meeting will be held on February 1 at 7 pm. The topic of the meetings will be identical.
Many, many thanks to all of you have contributed to the “SHOUT OUTS” for donations these past few weeks. Every small donation for the Haiti victims, Takin’ Down Cancer Coin War and Bustin’ Through Books Collection is appreciated.
If you would like to donate to our Bustin’ Through Books collection, we are still taking $1.00 per student for books, old vinyl bean bags, and old books! If you are a father who would like to read with the students during their reading time, complete our form online.
Two of our incredible Georgetown families have been in the news these past two weeks. If you have missed the coverage , you can find links here: Megan Assink, a survivor of Pompe’s Disease, and her family have been covered by many media outlets. In addition, the Randolf Family welcomed home their forever adopted children from Haiti on Friday night.
Here’s to a great week ahead!
