Dear Parents,
We had an amazing celebration for our Veterans, today! We are thankful for their service and sacrifices to our country. Check out our Facebook page to view all the pictures from the event. Thanks to Ms. Mraz and Ms. Ford for organizing the program. Thanks to Lieutenant Colonel Mary Price for being the guest speaker, Mayor Crist for passing out the medals to the veterans, Ms. Rodriguez for playing Taps, Boy Scout Troup 504 for the presentation of the flags, the chorus for the beautiful singing and presentation and the PTA and parent volunteers for bringing in food and decorating for the event. It is the best Veterans Day celebration around.
Thursday, we were excited to have Shelley Korenbrot with us for the Principal for the Day. This is a Gwinnett County program, where adults can sign up to shadow a principal for a day. Ms. Korenbrot works for CMX CineBistro in Peachtree Corners. She was amazed at the level of engagement in the classrooms and the students that were so polite and welcoming. She said that we have an adorable little school that is unlike any other school she has ever seen. She was impressed with both the students and the teachers.
Parents, do you need a night out? Maybe you need some time to start shopping for the holidays. We have the solution for you. Parent's Night Out is just around the corner on December 6th. A flyer is coming home in the Friday folder. Parents can sign their child up on My Payments Plus or send in a check with the flyer. An RSVP is required, to make sure that we have enough pizza for all students.
Our annual PTA holiday secret shop will open on Tuesday. Students will be able to shop during their PE time. A schedule and flyer went home last week. We still need some volunteers to help with wrapping and shopping. If you can spare an hour or two, stop on by the school.
Have a great weekend!

RUNNING CLUB
The FINAL RUNNING CLUB is being cancelled as Mr. G will be unable to attend. He sends his sincerest apologies. Please remind your students that they DO NOT need a club to run and get some exercise. Thanks for your understanding.
