We are in the middle of our PTA fall fundraiser selling Charleston Wrap products. There is only one week left to shop and sell. Orders are due September 9th. There are lots of high quality kitchen and home items plus gift wraps to choose from. The packet containing catalogs and order forms went home with your child on Monday, August 26th. However, you can always shop online. Anyone can order online at: www.charlestonwrap.com. 
Be sure to register your child so they can get credit for the sale. Take advantage of the long weekend with friends and family and sell Charleston Wrap. Remember to send in coupons for all items sold to collect different monsters! Thank you for supporting our PTA.

Reading Takes You Everywhere!

In order to support our school wide reading initiative we want to create a bulletin board showcasing our students reading outside of school. Please take a picture of your child reading some place unusual. Maybe reading at a museum, in front of the Statue of Liberty, reading at a Braves game, etc. Send the picture to Mrs. Burnett:(Kris_Burnett@gwinnett.k12.ga.us) and she will enter your child's name into a drawing to win a book! This will be an ongoing opportunity.

 

Hat Trick for Reading

Each year we offer a wonderful opportunity to win a ticket to a Gwinnett Gladiators game. Simply fill out the attached bookmark with your child's name and record three book titles that you have read with your child and bring it back to school. It's that easy!
