Book Fair: Here is a message from Julie Whelan, our Media Specialist, about the Book Fair:
The SAE book fair kicks off on Grandparent’s Day, Aug. 29, and runs through Sept. 6. Our class will visit the book fair twice. Once on Tuesday, August 28 at 10:15 to create a “wish list” and again on Tuesday, September 4 at 10:15 to purchase.
The fair is open during school hours from Aug. 29 through Sept. 6 (except for Aug. 31 and Sept. 3). There is also a Family Night Event from 5-7 on Sept. 4. If those times don’t work, another option is to shop our online fair.
Lots of volunteers are needed to assist Sweet Apple students with their shopping and help make it a “once upon a time” experience. Please consider signing up for a shift to help during the fair. We are very grateful for your support.
Grandparent’s Day: Grandparent’s Day is Wednesday, August 29th. First graders will welcome their grandparents and special visitors to the classroom from 9:50-10:20. The Book Fair is open, as well, so guests may visit the Media Center. This is a fun day for the students, as they all LOVE having a guest spend some time in their classroom with them. It is one of my favorite days of the year, as well. It is fun for me to meet the guests and connect a face with the stories that I hear throughout the year! 😊
PBIS Reward: Our second PBIS reward is this Thursday, August 30th. Any child who earns 30 Dojo points is allowed to have morning snack outside followed by an extra recess.
Transportation Notes: After school clubs begin this week, and if your child is participating in a club, please fill out a Change of Transportation form for him/her. Please indicate on the note that the transportation change is in effect the entire semester. You do not have to write a transportation note each week as long as you indicate that the change is for the whole semester.
School: There is no school on Friday, August 31st for Sweet Apple students, and there is no school on Monday, September 3rd for all Fulton County Schools.
