F.B.I. Reading Day: Volunteers needed
Friday, September 5th from 7:50 am to 8:15 am
 Nickajack "Fathers Being Involved" is a group of dads and other male role models that take time to volunteer at the school to support the learning environment for all students. On FBI Reading Day we place a father in every classroom in the school to read a book to students from 7:50 am - 8:15 am. We still need many volunteers for our first FBI Reading Day this Friday, September 5th.
If you would like to volunteer to read to a classroom or receive more information about being involved with the Nickajack FBI, please contact Kendall Foster at kendall.foster@cobbk12.org or at the school by phone (678) 842-5814. Additional details can also be found on the PTA website by clicking here.
Thank you and we are looking forward to seeing our dad's in full force on Friday, September 5th! |

Fill the Apple and Support your School!
BACK THE JACK Today!
The goal is Participation!
EVERY DONATION HELPS - whether you can give $10 or $1,000.
Without parent and community donations to the Nickajack Foundation (NESF), our school would not have some of the programs that make it exceptional, like our computer lab and instructor, key curriculum and teacher grants.
This year, the goal is to raise $70,000 for NESF!
The class with the most participation gets a pizza/snowcone party. Current class standings are:
1. Butler
2. Three-way tie: Wood, Cochran, Maples
