We had an excellent Veterans Day program today!  Thanks to everyone for all that you did to help prepare (you know who you are).  It was a team effort and we received so many compliments.

On Monday we will have special guests visiting our school.  Author, Tim Lowry will present to the 3rd-5th graders at 8:00-9:00 and Michael Finkela will present to the PK-2nd graders from 9:15-10:15.  Please bring your classes to the multipurpose room at your designated time. 


One of the annual requirements each school year is bus evacuation training with all students.  Our goal is to quickly and efficiently fulfill this requirement so students know what they need to do in the case of an emergency while on a school bus.  PGE classes will be participating in a bus evacuation training on Wednesday, November 16th. See the schedule below.  Please be prompt to the bus loop so we can stay on schedule.

On Thursday be prepared to first have an Earthquake drill and immediately following it will be a Fire Drill.  In Leadership we discussed utilizing the road out front when moving to the field.  

The Sunshine Committee has planned for some fun events coming up.  I have added them to the Master Calendar.  Don't forget to sign up for the Clemson/Carolina Tailgate days.  You'll also find Secret Santa forms in your boxes on Monday.  Thank you to this committee for putting together and planning events where we can spend time enjoying each other (and food and gifts).

All grade/content level Auction baskets are due this coming Wednesday.  Please bring them to the main office to be tagged for the Auction.  I can tell you the PTO is very appreciative of your support of this huge fundraiser.  I'm hoping many of you are able to come Friday night for dinner and the Auction.  The supper will begin at 5:30 and the auction will start at 7 p.m.  If you didn't get to place an order for a Shealy's BBQ plate, you can still bring a check to Ms. Cindy on Monday morning. 

Congratulations to the following teachers who were drawn from our "Shout Out" basket:  Amy Milstead, Alex Pruitt, Dona Pitts, Paul Winningham, Marilyn Rawls, Maria Thompson, Robbie Harris, Jaime Stuck, Alice Boozer, and Katie Walters.  You will have a "surcie" in your boxes on Monday.

Happy Friday All!!!
