Thank you to our club sponsors for your club descriptions. I have them all and can't tell you how excited I am for our 3rd-5th grade students to have this opportunity. I will begin announcing our club offerings on Tuesday after the morning news show. 3rd-5th grade teachers stay tuned after the show is over.
We have some new folks on the GCA staff this year. Ms. Wakima Joiner is our Day Porter. You've seen her first thing in the mornings picking up breakfast. Ms. Dot is now the day/night time supervisor and comes in at 11:00 a.m. She is also here for the night cleaning with Mr. Sonny (floor tech) and newly hired Jessica Gartman who will be a general cleaner. As always, the book to report cleaning issues is in the main office workroom in the GCA box. Please use it when needed. I use your information when completing our school report card for the GCA managers. On the flip side of that, give these folks shout outs when you can as well. We know how nice if feels to be appreciated and I'm grateful for the folks we have in place this year.
This week I went into AESOP and changed arrival and dismissal times for our subs. The 1/2 day AM subs are from 7:10 a.m.- 11:00 a.m. and a PM sub is from 11:00 a.m.- 3:00 p.m. Subs will now be able to see the time but reminding them when you call to set up an absence won't hurt.
If you plan to attend T.N.O on October 6th to see Gerry Brooks, please return your registration form and $10 by Tuesday, September 6th. I've attached one of my favorite videos below for those of you who have not seen his "work".

From Reading Council representative, Sonya Robinson: I wanted to take a moment to encourage you to join the reading council as the committee has worked hard to put together some exciting programs this year. The cost for joining is $15. Once you join, your name will be added to the “Dream Team Board” assembled in the workroom/teacher’s lounge. Let’s work hard to build membership. We are always SO close to 100% participation. This year, let’s nail it! Go PGE TIGERS!!
- The first program is scheduled for September 27, 2016 at Newberry High School (time TBA). The speaker will be James Bryan with a session titled Literacy Tailgating: Let’s Kick-Off the Year Learning Together. Please see your NCRC flyers that have been placed in your boxes for detailed information and for other events this year.
I hope you all enjoy your LONG weekend!!
