A Blidget?
Have you ever heard of one? It is a blend of the words blog and widget. I have created a PTC blidget for our blog. This is a nice looking RSS feed that links you to current posts on our PTC blog that is managed by Carrie Clark-Berry. Click on any of the posts within this blidget, and you will be taken to the PTC blog for more information.
I have created a Georgetown Blidget that is posted on the PTC blog that is designed to serve the same purpose. Feel free to leave feedback by commenting in either location. Our goal is to provide immediate, interesting and accurate information!

Staff Holiday Breakfast
Christy Hultink and Kristi Fellows, Parent Club members, hosted a beautiful holiday breakfast for all the staff members of Georgetown. The tables were lined with evergreens and candles and smells of pastries, quiche and coffee filled the air. Staff members received notes of appreciation, along with stipends to put toward the purchase of classroom materials. (I do believe that Krista Lawrence pulled an “all-nighter” writing these notes and making out checks!) Tremendous thanks to all the parents who donated the food–and made this event possible. We, the staff of Georgetown, feel honored to work with you and your children each day!
Top Secret Shopping….Shhh!
If you happen to walk by our media center this week, you might do a double take. Through the windows, you will see tables covered with many different types of gifts — ranging from Eagle’s gear to jewelry to toys, etc. The room has been transformed into a department store! Students have been shopping all week, searching for the just right gifts for special people in their lives. This event is made possible by our Parent Club, and it is an absolutely invaluable service. Sincere thanks to Jamie Ham for organizational talents, and the many warm hearted parents who assist these very important shoppers. **Note: The gifts in the photos below have been blurred out to prevent parents from snooping!
Parent Club Updates
HOLIDAY GIFT SHOP: Volunteers are still needed, especially for Monday, 12/8; Tuesday, 12/9 afternoon; and Thursday, 12/11 morning!! Please contact Jamie Ham if you are able to help out. 662-7245 or cjham20@comcast.net
Chair person needed! We are in need of someone to help with Teacher Appreciation week. If you are interested in helping with this event, please contact Kristi Fellows at 6691054 or ioniagal@att.net.
Box Tops The winners of the November Classroom Box Tops competition are : Mr. Gort(4th) with 221 Box Tops and Mr. Bowen(2nd) with a whopping 431 Box Tops. Each class will be rewarded with their choice of donuts or cupcakes for the great numbers they collected. The December competition will begin on November 24th and continue until December 19th. This will be an individual competition with the top collectors from upper and lower elementary receiving gift cards to Blockbuster and Arby’s. Please be sure to mark your entries with your child’s name and teacher to get the proper credit.
Cash for Cash Don’t forget to purchase your gift cards through our cash for cash program, some cards are available to purchase on the spot Fridays from 3:15 pm. We challenge each family to buy four $25 gas cards before the end of the school year. This is a great way to make a donation to our school PTC.
Paper Gator: Don’t forget to fill the Paper Gator. If the bin is full, please don’t leave your recyclable paper outside! It blows and creates a mess for Mr. Rob to deal with. Thank you for your attention to this.
