THE BIG THANK YOU!
Over the past eight years, TRMS has helped express a BIG THANK YOU with hand written letters of thanks to serviceman and woman deployed outside the United States. The Bert Show is sponsoring again this year, the BIG THANK YOU letter project. This year we would like to encourage our families and community members to join us in participating in this worthwhile project.
WHAT IS THE BIG THANK YOU?
"Every single soldier deployed outside the United States deserves to receive a letter of gratitude on Thanksgiving Day. We want to give our troops a "Big Thank You" with a little taste of home this Thanksgiving. The Bert Show community helped to express a BIG THANK YOU with over a million hand written letters of thanks to every serviceman and woman deployed outside the United States."
PLEASE FOLLOW THE LETTER SPECIFICATIONS BELOW.
LETTER FORMAT & SPECIFICATIONS
Each letter should be heartfelt, handwritten, original, and free of any political statements. The purpose of the letter is to express thanks to the military personnel currently deployed outside the United States.
We reserve the right to eliminate those messages that are political in nature and do not reflect a positive message in the spirit of Thanksgiving.
SPECIFICATIONS:
• All letters must be handwritten on 8.5" x 11".
• Please do not use glue, tape, staples, cardboard, glitter or otherwise attach anything to the paper.
You can decorate using crayons, markers, pens or pencils.
• NO construction paper.
• Use both sides if you like, but use one page per letter only.
• Please do not send greeting cards or photographs.
• Feel free to include your mailing and email address – sometimes military members will write back!
• Individual letters should not be sealed in envelopes.
• Please do not send anything except letters!
DEADLINE: Friday, Oct. 14. There is a box in the front office for community members & families to place all HANDWRITTEN letters by 10/14/16.
Please Help!
Jr. Beta and Student Forum are joining together to collect school items for the Wildwood Elementary School (Pre-K -5th grade) Flood victims in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. We are collecting items such as socks, underwear, school supplies (markers, crayons, paper, pencils, notebooks, glue sticks, colored pencils), toiletries, soap toothbrushes, and toothpaste.
Large cardboard boxes are in the front foyer as well as at the entrance to the 6-8th grade hallways.
Please give to these children so they can have a good school year. We will be collecting the entire month of October. Please give generously!
Are you interested in joining Girl Scouts?
Chattahoochee HS needs our help.
Middle and Elementary students must be accompanied by a parent or guardian over 18 at all CHS sports events. Younger students who do not attend Chattahoochee High School and appear at a ticket booth without a parent or guardian will be asked to call home for a pick-up. No athletic items: Frisbees, footballs, lacrosse sticks, balls, bats, etc… may be brought into the stadium. Please leave these items at home, in your cars or lockers. Thanks for your cooperation!
