Dear Families,
This is a short newsletter for a short week that was, however, packed with activities. We want to thank all the families that took the time to make appointments and visit with teachers about their student's progress. We also want to take this opportunity to remind you that you do not have to wait for Parent Teacher Conferences to reach out to teachers! We always look forward partnering with you!
Thanksgiving Break
Competitive Tennis Play Day

Mary Poppins, Jr.
Mary Poppins, Jr. will pop onto the Gentry Middle School stage in March 2019! “Step in Time” to make plans to be a part of this Disney production! If you stop along the way to “Feed the Birds” or “Go Fly a Kite,” that is just fine. Make sure you join the Banks family, Bert, Mary and many others as they experience the magic of a “Jolly Holiday” and “A Spoonful of Sugar” on Cherry Tree Lane in London. This show promises to be “Supercalifrag…,” well, you know what we mean!
If you want to be part of this “Practically Perfect” show, pick up your audition form in the main office to audition for Mary Poppins, Jr! You MUST attend dance auditions on December 3rd in the Upstairs Commons from 2:35-4:00 pm AND singing auditions on December 4th in room 100A from 2:35-4:00 pm to be considered. Call back auditions will be December 5th and 6th. In order to audition, forms MUST be in Ms. Bills’ mailbox by Friday, November 30th! Please see the forms attached below.
Congratulations!

Donations Request
PTSA has received several requests for making an online donation towards our teachers/staff upcoming holiday party. The PTSA treasurer has been able to set up a Gentry PTSA Venmo account for this reason. You can look PTSA up and make a donation at any point... if you are wanting your donation to go towards the teacher/staff holiday party, simply put "Party 2018" in the memo line and we will make sure that your gift is allocated appropriately. We are also attaching the link below...
Here‘s the link to the Venmo profile.
PTSA hopes that this makes it a little easier. We appreciate all of your support!!!
