A note from Mrs. Cureton:
We've had a great week of learning in Cougar Nation! Next week is the end of our first 9 week grading period. Thank you for trusting us to educate and love on your amazing kids these past 9 weeks of school. We have seen so much growth, academically, and can't wait to see what all our kids accomplish these next 9 weeks of school!
The month of October gets very busy with fun events on campus-make sure to read below regarding Book Fair, Fall Festival, Red Ribbon Week, & Book Character Parade!
Book Fair: The book fair is coming October 15th-18th! See flyer below for a special shopping event (Lunch with a Loved One) for families during the book fair!
Fall Festival:
PTA is collecting bags of individually wrapped candy for our Fall Festival! If you are able to donate a bag of candy for the festival, please send with your student to school. We will be collecting bags of candy from Monday, September 30th--Thursday, October 24th.
Fall Festival, sponsored by PTA, will take place on Friday, October 25th from 6:00pm-7:30pm in the Clarkston front parking lot. This year's event will be bigger than years past and we are excited to have all of our families with us for this event! Concessions will be sold for a small cost, but trunk or treat and the games are free to all in attendance! See flyer below for more details.
Red Ribbon Week:
We are so excited to celebrate being drug free with Red Ribbon Week-October 28th-November 1st. See the flyer below for dress up days!
