Giving Closet
Hembree Community!
We are once again asking for donations to restock out Giving Closet. Through your generous support we can provide emergency clothing for ALL of our students. From syrup accidents in the cafeteria to muddy falls on the playground- your donations allow us to quickly solve these issues without needing to call parents for a new set of clothes. Additionally, we are able to support our students who may need a little extra- in order that they can come to school ready to learn. We cannot do this without you- our community! There are several ways to support us- below is a list of our needs, you may also order directly from Walmart https://www.walmart.com/registry/ER/eed9022f-4a11-4abd-8d58-db1a43cbdf22 or simply donate at https://hembreespringselementary.memberhub.com/store/items/113772. These funds are used exclusively to support our giving closet to stock personal items, clothing and school supplies. We'll also be available at carpool on 12/8 in the morning for you to drop off donations.
Book Clubs grades 3-5
Parents, please use this form to indicate interest in having your child participate in a book club, at school, meeting the week of January 9th. Parent volunteers will meet with groups of students during students' lunch times to discuss the book. We are looking forward to having some great conversations as well as encouraging our students to be lifelong readers! Please contact Lucy Gilbert, Title I Parent Liaison at gilbertl2@fultonschools.org if you have questions.
Staff Appreciation Dessert Buffet
It's been a whirlwind of a year for our teachers and staff - let's celebrate them as we head into the holidays with some delicious treats!
On Tuesday, December 13th, the PTA is asking families to provide sweet treats for our Staff Appreciation Dessert Buffet.
Please drop off your sweet treat in the front lobby on Tuesday, December 13th by 1pm in a disposable platter or container (to be discarded after the event). Also, be sure to label each item you bring in so staff can see what they are eating. For cakes or frosted treats please provide individually wrapped portions when you can. If you're able to spare some time to help set up and clean up, we'd love to have you!
Please use this link to signup for a dessert or to volunteer your time:
