It's time for Coralwood's 'His and Her's' Fundraiser!  The catalogs and order forms will be coming home on Friday, so make sure to grab them from the backpacks and take a look at them. Share the catalog with everyone you know - it has something for everyone!

The Second Annual Fall PTA Social is just a few weeks away! 
The social will be held once again at Gordon Biersch, Buckhead, on Saturday, September 20th from 7-11 pm.  This event is a great way to get to know other Coralwood parents all while enjoying a great night out!  Enjoy handcrafted beers and other drinks, appetizers, brewery tours, college football game viewing and billiards!  Proceeds from the raffle items will benefit Coralwood PTA.

Help Keep Coralwood Looking Good!
We are looking for volunteers to serve on a Campus Clean Up Crew.  We specifically need people who would have access to a gas blower and/or edger.  The crew would help pick up yard debris to keep the campus safe and looking great.  Please contact Martha Hunnicutt at MARTHA_J_HUNNICUTT@fc.dekalb.k12.ga.us for more information or to volunteer.
