Week of January 21st
What's Happening?
Monday is Martin Luther King, Jr holiday - no school!
Did you know there is a full moon lunar eclipse on Sunday night? It is also a "super moon". Should be a great event to see if the skies are clear.
As the weather begins to get colder, it is required that students are dressed appropriately for recess in order to go outside with the group. Please encourage your child to bring a heavy coat and wear pants (not shorts) on the cold days ahead.
In February, students participate in the Georgia Student Health Survey. This is an online survey for students to complete. You will find more information about this in your child's Friday Folder. If you would not like your child participating in this survey, please sign and return the form that is in the Friday Folder. We only need this form returned if you do not want your child to participate.
