January PTO Meeting

The Purple Pods (kindergarten and first grade) did an excellent job at our PTO performance on January 22nd. Our next PTO meeting is scheduled for February 19th and the Yellow Pods will be performing. We invite you to come out and join us!
Items discussed at the meeting:
1. Thanks to Lowe's for the donation of money to improve several areas at our school and their hard work landscaping and building our pavilion! We appreciate all you have done for our children!
2. Thanks to Lucretia Cauthen for her support of our schools through Millbrook Playhouse Project. We were given a check for $10,000.00 on Tuesday morning. All of these funds will be spent on Technology upgrades.
3. Please read your PTO newsletter that is sent home once per month. It lets you know what you can do to help your child's school!
4. We are looking for PTO officers for the 2008-2009 school year. Consider becoming an officer in our PTO!

Inclement Weather on January 10th!

We were very fortunate that the weather slowed down and settled down before it got to us on January 10th. The Emergency Management Agency predicted that the rough weather would hit our area around 3:00 PM. That is when our children are being transported home. The EMA felt that schools should dismiss early to try and avoid this inclement weather during transport time. The tragedy in Enterprise, Alabama last year has taught us that you can never be too careful. Thank you to all the parents who were patient with the staff as things got very busy at the school yesterday afternoon. We found that many of the contact numbers we had on file yesterday were not accurate numbers. Please be sure to update your child's information sheet every time a change is made. This ensures that we are able to get in touch with you in the event of an emergency. I would like to thank the teachers for their extra effort in calling every parent in their classroom yesterday morning. I appreciate all they do for our students.
