Mustang Messenger for Parents
November 26, 2023
Welcome back!
I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving holiday break! It is hard to believe but 2023 will be over before we know it. This year the second nine week period will end right before our winter holiday break. It is important for students to stay on top of their work so that they can finish out the grading period strong.
Lunch this Week
PTA Reflections Contest
It is time to submit entries for the PTA Reflections Contest for this year. All entries need to be turned into the front office by this Friday, December 1. If you need another copy of the information, you can get that from the front office. We look forward to seeing what our students submit!
Holiday Assistance
Each year thanks to the generosity of our school community and our community partners, we are able to provide holiday assistance to families that may need a little extra help! If your family is interested in participating, please complete our form as soon as possible. Participation is first come, first serve and is dependent upon donations, however, we do our best to support everyone. Mrs. Kincaid, our school counselor, coordinates the program and all identifying information is kept confidential. She will be in touch with each family that has completed the form in early November. If you have questions, please reach out to Mrs. Kincaid via email ghkincaid@greenville.k12.sc.us or phone (864) 355-6704.
