Happy Thanksgiving!
November is the time when many reflect on all the things they are thankful for. We have truly been blessed with a wonderful class full of sweet students and supportive parents. It was a pleasure meeting with you during conference week. Have a safe and fun time next week enjoying your family and friends.
December 3-6 Holiday Shoppe: This is a PTA-supported event giving the kids an opportunity to purchase gifts for their friends and family. You should have received a flier with the details. This is a cash only event.
Friday, December 5: Performing Arts field trip.
December 6: Breakfast with Santa 9-11
The Giving Tree: Our school will be sponsoring the Giving Tree again this year. The tree is located in the front hallway. Your child may pick an ornament from the tree (with a note from a parent) and buy a present for an Acworth family in need. Please return unwrapped presents by December 18th.
