Honor a Loved One with a Relay for Life Luminaria
On May 9-10 at the Cobb County Relay for Life, many members of our Shallowford Falls staff will be walking in honor of someone who is fighting cancer or who has lost the struggle. Do you have someone you'd like to honor? If so, please download and fill out the form below and send a check into the media center for $10, made out to the American Cancer Society. We can either send a luminaria bag home with your child to decorate, or we can decorate the bag for you. Please note on your donation form what you'd like us to do. We'll take the bag to the Relay event on May 9 and light a candle in it during the inspirational Ceremony of Hope. As the light dims over campsites and team members complete laps, the night will be illuminated by the glow of thousands of lighted bags, each of which has a special meaning. Some luminaria celebrate the survivorship of people who have battled cancer and lived to tell the tale. Many commemorate the lives of those who have been lost to this disease. All represent a person who has been profoundly affected by cancer and the family and friends who continue to be touched by that experience.
Wear Your Favorite Hat on Friday, May 2nd!
As part of our fundraising for Relay for Life, we will have a Hat Day on Friday, May 2. For a $1 donation you may wear your favorite, craziest hat. Bring the money to your teacher by Friday morning and let's see how many hats we can have that day.
Been doing a little spring cleaning lately?
When you've gotten out your children's clothes from last year, have you found your girls have outgrown theirs? Well, we have just the place for you to send them....straight to the media center! Lisa Messinger, a former Shallowford Falls parapro (now a media specialist at Nicholson Elementary) is working with her church (St. Peter and St. Paul Episcopal) on a clothing drive for a special charity, Cool Girls. Inner city girls in grades 3rd - 8th participate in after school programs and activities that promote making good choices that will keep their life on the right track. The church has hosted an annual "shopping" day" for about 15 years. The girls are not charged for the clothes--the church just provides a fun-filled day of activities that culminates in a 'shopping mall' set up just for them. It began with about 30 girls attending and this year over 250 are expected. This is why they are in such great need for good used clothes to offer the girls. The shopping day is at the end of July--just in time for back to school.
If you have any girls clothes, size 8 and up that are gently-used, please launder them and send them to the media center anytime until May 9th. Know that these clothes will be appreciated so much by girls who rarely get a chance to go shopping. Thanks for caring and for being supportive of this effort.
CRCT is Coming!
Please mark your calendars for the dates of the Georgia CRCT testing:
Grades 1 - 5
- Wednesday, April 23rd - Reading
- Thursday, April 24th - Language Arts
- Friday, April 25th - Math
Grades 3 - 5
- Monday, April 28th - Science
- Tuesday, April - Social Studies
Please do not schedule any appointments for your child during these dates. Attendance and punctuality are extremely important. Students who are tardy will not be allowed to enter their classroom during the testing period and must take the test at a later date. Research shows that students do better on their tests when they take them in a familiar environment.
Don't forget to allow your child the opportunity for a restful night sleep and a healthy breakfast each day.
- Georgia law requires all 3rd graders to pass the reading portion of the CRCT to be promoted to 4th grade.
- Georgia law requires all 5th graders to pass the reading and math portion of the CRCT to be promoted to 6th grade.
