Hello Chimney Lakes Families & Care Givers,
Hope your week is off to a great start! Here are a few things happening at Chimney Lakes we want you to be aware.
*Veterans Day Holiday is this Wednesday, November 11th. There is no school for all on this day.
*Magnet Expo is THIS Saturday from 10am - 1 pm at the Prime Osborn Convention Center. If you know of a family looking for a great school or if your 5th grader is getting ready for middle school, now is the time to start that process. At the EXPO, you will get to visit school booths to get quick information about school tours, what they offer and if you qualify for magnet transportation. Come by our table just to say "HI!"
*Science Fair Projects for grades 3-5 are due this FRIDAY! Students have been working on them since September and now it's time to be judged. VPK-2nd grade students will complete their science fair projects in their class as a whole class. That way, they are prepared for their independent projects come 3rd grade. Teachers will post their projects on the bulletin boards outside of their classrooms. Can't wait to see our projects this year. Last year, we had two district class project winners. We will announce the winners over the Thanksgiving break.
*Friday is WORLD KINDNESS DAY! If you have a "Be Kind" or any other kind of kindness shirt, please wear it! The world can use a little kindness and we can start at Chimney Lakes!
*Perfect Potatoes Attendance Challenge is going great! A BIG THANK YOU to those parents who have ordered chip boxes for delivery. You all are amazing! I've corrected the QR code on the flyer attached so it should work better for all. Keep those chip boxes coming!
*Picture Retakes will take place on Tuesday, November 10th. If you want a retake, weren't enrolled yet or were just absent in September, please plan on a retake on Tuesday. The teachers have a list of students who did not take an original picture. If you wish to have a retake, please make sure the original photo package is returned and turned into the photographer.
Food Drive is Going on NOW! Please turn in your non-perishable food items to your child's teacher. They are collecting items in their classrooms. We are looking for our top 3 winning classrooms! All items go to help the Argyle Church create Thanksgiving baskets for our needy families.
2 PTA POINTS:
1. PTA Membership Drive: We are currently at 140 members and just 10 away from reaching our goal of 150! We'd love to encourage a few more families to join before our extended deadline. Remember, no volunteering is required to become a PTA member!
2. Vision & Hearing Screening: We are looking for volunteers to assist the Department of Health nurses with student hearing screenings on Thursday, November 12th, from 8:30 AM–1:45 PM. Volunteers are asked to remain for the entire duration of their selected screening time. I've included the flyer with the sign-up information.
Finally, 5th grade parents....Don't turkey around and forget to buy an ad for your exiting 5th grader! The deadline is 12.14.26. It'll be here before you know it and you don't want to miss this opportunity!
Have a great week!
Sincerely,
Marianne G. Lee
Principal
