ATTENDANCE

REMINDERS:

If your child is tardy, absent or

checks out early you have 5

school days to send in a parent or

doctor note – for it to be

‘excused’.

Attendance excuses can be

emailed to the teacher or Sharon

Hamilton at

shamilton@forsyth.k12.ga.us.

Only 10 parent notes per year to

excuse absences, tardies or early

check-outs. Anytime your child

misses school (i.e. tardy, absence

or early check-out) for a doctor

appointment please ask for a

note from the doctor and send it

back to the school. Thank you!

FOOD DRIVE

Big Creek Elementary will be partnering with “The

Place” for a Thanksgiving Food Drive. We will be

collecting Boxed Oatmeal. The last day to donate

is Tuesday, November 11th.

If you would like to assist in donating, you can place the

item(s) in the boxes located at the front of the school

labeled “Thanksgiving Food Drive.” This box is under

the ‘drop-off’ table in the front hallway. Thank you for

your generosity and willingness to help make

Thanksgiving a more joyous occasion for our

community.

Each donation makes such a difference!

Thanks to all of the families who sent in box tops to help our school.

We will have the winners of the ‘box top’ off by Monday. It will be announced on

the morning news.

WEATHER UPDATES

With the weather getting colder – please

remember to send your child to school

dressed warmly. The students will be going

outside for recess everyday! Also – for the

November 11th Veterans Day celebration.

We will be watching the performance from

Priscilla’s Garden.

The Holiday Shop is coming! Remember, this event can't

happen without you parents, grandparents, family friends.... We

need a lot of volunteers in order to make the shop fun for the

kids. Please go to Holiday Shop and sign up to volunteer. If you

are unable to volunteer for the full two hours that is fine - just add

in the notes section what times you can help. It is a fun time for

the kids, staff, and volunteers. You won't want to miss out on this

event! Please contact Linda, Selbach at L_SELBACH@YAHOO.COM

with any questions. You can also contact Priya at

priya.bgpta@gmail.com. The Holiday Shop will run December

3rd-5th with the family night on the 3rd. We need volunteers

from the 2nd to the 5th. Santa and his elves will be here again this

year!! “Whimsy Daisy” will be our vendor this year!

Calling all Dads!

Our Watch DOGS dad program needs you. If

you are interested in giving some of your

time once or twice a year by volunteering at

the school through this great program,

please contact David Huetter at

huetter4@bellsouth.net. He is putting

schedules together now; make sure to let

him know as soon as possible. For more

The art department is excited to announce that

students will be participating in an Art Fundraiser

this fall. Big Creek artists have already created

amazing artwork and it is currently in New York

being scanned and uploaded to an On-line Art

Gallery. In the upcoming weeks, students will be

bringing home information about how you can

support your artist and the Big Creek art

department by purchasing various products

featuring your child’s unique artwork. More

information will be sent out regarding how to order

and when the products will arrive. Please help

celebrate and showcase your child’s artistic talents

through this Original Works fundraiser!
