Happy New Year! We had a great start to 2012! Report cards went home today, please look for them in your child's folder.

Just a reminder- No school Monday. MLK Holiday.

We want to welcome Jacob to our class family! He is a great addition to our class!

Giovanna was chosen for student of the week. She has Max the Moose. Have Fun!

Just a reminder- ice cream can only be brought on Fridays. Ice cream is .50-1.00. Jeans and spirit shirts can be worn on Friday as well.

The CCSD has a board meeting on January 18th at 6:00. A board member, David Morgan is interested in our school and all charter schools and is committed to helping is receive equal funding for our students.


He has asked us to make an impressive showing of parents and staff members at this meeting, at which he will be calling for a vote regarding raising charter school's students funding to that of other Cobb County students (a difference between 1,400 per child)


Please make plans to attend and support our efforts to receive equal funding. Thanks in advance in helping us create an impressive turn out.
