Message from your Proud Interim Principal
Dear Parents and Guardians,
This week we began hosting a "Principal for the Day" from our PTA fundraiser. These students have been on the morning and afternoon announcements, they have visited classrooms and received a special treat bag! We will continue hosting students for several more days. You can see the students from this week below.
We have our second Digital Learning Day of the school year next Tuesday, November 8th. Students will complete assignments that are posted on their eClass page. The teachers will go through the work with the students when they return on Wednesday in order to answer any questions that the students have about the content. Thank you in advance for scheduling a time in the day on Tuesday for your child to focus on his/her school work.
We are excited to host Thanksgiving lunch in a couple of weeks. You can purchase your tickets on MyPaymentsPlus through next Wednesday. The lunches will take place on November 14, 15, and 16 and are scheduled by grade level. Please contact the front office if you have any questions.
Election Day is next Tuesday. I would like to encourage you to vote and possibly take your child with you to learn about the voting process. Some of the students have been learning about the government systems and going to a voting precinct would be a good field trip.
PTA Movie Night is next Friday at 6:30! See details in the PTA section of the newsletter! It is going to be a wonderful family event!
If you are a football fan, this is going to be a fun football weekend! Enjoy time with family and friends.
Sincerely,
Proud Interim Principal,

Gingerbread House Contest and Lighting of the Tree hosted by Gwinnett Historic Courthouse
With the holiday season quickly approaching, the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse has announced a Gingerbread House Contest will be part of the annual Lighting of the Tree festivities this year and they are introducing two new holiday events: Brunch With Santa and a Holiday Open House.
- Gingerbread House Contest: We want to display your Gingerbread House during this year’s Lighting of the Tree event. Everyone is invited to build their own gingerbread house that will be on display in the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse’s Superior Court Ballroom from November 24th – November 30th. Entries will be accepted from schools, children/families/individuals, businesses, organizations and culinary students/professionals. There is no fee to participate. Don’t forget, the annual Lighting of the Tree event is Thursday, November 24th with festivities kicking off at 5:30pm.
- Brunch With Santa or Breakfast With Santa: Children of all ages will delight in a yummy meal, make fun crafts, and share their wish list with Santa personally! Bring your little ones to hear Santa share a magical story and don't forget your camera for photos with ol' Saint Nick. Pre-register by December 2.
- Holiday Family Photos: Bring a camera and your photographer for a 30-minute photo session for holiday photos in one of our many beautifully decorated settings. Reservations are required. Don’t wait because prime dates will sell out.
- Holiday Open House: Visitors are welcome to enjoy self-guided tours of the beautifully decorated Courthouse, including the lovely Superior Court Ballroom, beautiful Blue Ready Room, quaint Intimate Wedding room, and Santa’s homey Living Room. Take photos with personal cameras and enjoy holiday treats with friends and family. Children can leave a letter for Santa in his mailbox.
We look forward to you joining us this holiday season!
Sincerely,
Lisa
