Spring Carnival this Friday!

Just a reminder: The carnival committee requested that each student donate one 12-pack of name brand soda and asked that each class donate 8 cakes for the cake walk. Thanks so much to Alexandra's mom and Elizabeth's mom who have already volunteered to send in cakes, but we still need more.

Our carnival basket with a Georgia Tech theme looks amazing thanks to your donations and the hard work of the Stallings family and the Daniel family. Our basket should get some big bids, particulary with a football and basketball signed by the head coaches!

I'll be at the carnival doing face painting from 5:30-6:00, and I hope to see many of you there!

Huntville Field Trip

I would love to add more photos of our trip to the blog. Email your photos to me at elizabeth.kennedy@cobbk12.org and we'll share them with the class!

Field Day Donations

PE needs large size Big Wheels for Field Day.  They will probably never be usuable again, so PE will not be able to give them back. If you have one or more large size Big Wheels to donate, please send them to school with your child. 

 

Parents can contact the PE teachers with any questions:
nancy.cobelli@cobbk12.org
don.evans@cobbk12.org
pat.stafford@cobbk12.org
