Dear Parents,

Thank you to the volunteers from Mountain Lake Church as well as

Denise Webb and Amanda Wickman. They spent last Saturday

working on our garden and it looks great! We are ready for more

planting to be able to enjoy the harvest. Their support is greatly

appreciated!

At the PTO meeting on Tuesday, March 28th, Kelly Moore will be

providing information about the Georgia Milestones Assessment,

which will take place after Spring Break. The links she will be

reviewing are included in this newsletter. The students are ready to

show us what they know.

Next week is our Book Fair. Please see the email information provided

by our PTO if you would like to volunteer. We thank you in advance

for your support.

The building will be closed for the week of Spring Break. We hope

everyone enjoys a much needed break!

Warmest Regards,

Kimberly Davis
