I want you to be aware that we are switching over to a new blogs, school wide. Late last week, we found out the the intermediate school district will no longer operate the server that holds our blogs.

As a result, we will be creating new blogs--mid-year! Please be patient while we all work to make this a smooth transition. Use your current teacher's blog address until you are notified via email by your child's teacher.

The Georgetown Blog has moved to: http://georgetown.edublogs.org/

You can register for email updates on the main page of this site.

Again, thank you for your patience while we transition to new blogs!

Our sister school, Raey Guang Elementary, has our art work on display in their principal office. Mrs. Chung Wen Yu came to Georgetown on October 22, 2008. She returned shortly after with our very special gift that was created by our students with Mrs. Brouwer's assistance. The piece is on display in the photo below.

I am working with Chung Wen Yu to establish communication between our schools--staff, students, and parents. To view photos from the visit, click on this album: Taiwan

We are LOST and want to be FOUND!

treagan — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 19:42:54 -0500

Thanks to Michele DeWinter, we have started a new blog posting service: LOST & FOUND!

As a parent, I know that many children forget what that lost mitten, scarf, glove, hat, or sweatshirt looks like. This service is intended to help parents easily search for the items that may have been left at school.

Michele took photos of the lost items and these can be found in the album below. Each item is numbered. If you think one of these items belongs in your home, ask you child to BRING IT HOME! An email to your child's teacher would also help. Click on this album to view all items. Lost & Found

Popcan Fund Raiser A Success!

treagan — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 12:50:54 -0500

The Fifth Grade Celebration Committee Pop Can Drive was a great success. Thank you to everyone who donated! Georgetown Parents collectively dropped off 2,413 cans during Parent Teacher Conferences this past Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. These cans and a $10.00 cash donation raised to $251.30.

There were many volunteers who supported this project. Thank you to everyone for the time donated. Also, many thanks to John Lawrence who designed the posters; Kym Burdis for guided all of us; and Family Fare on Baldwin and Port Sheldon, for allowing us to return this large amount of cans! As always, Mr. Rob (school custodian) was key to the success of the project. He allowed us to use the large bins from the multi‑purpose room and the orange cones, making it easy for parents to identify where to drive up and drop off their donations. Unfortunately, Mr. Rob was against the idea of us driving around the Zamboni!

Great thanks to everyone from Kelly Barz, 5th Grade Parent and Chairperson of the Fundraising Poject
