It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that Mrs. Brimmage will be leaving us on December 7th. She will be starting a new job at Georgia Power which is a very good opportunity for her. She has been wonderful and will be truly missed. Ms. Teresa Jones will start on Dec. 11th.
We have been given the opportunity to go on a field trip on Monday, December 17, 2007. All will get to bowl and have a special McDonald's lunch. Total cost is $10.00. I'm concerned since this is coming so close to the holiday "shopping" season. I will need the money by Thursday, Dec. 13. Please do not hesitate to inform me if this is a problem for you.
I know how busy this time of year is , so the students will not be having as much homework. Therefor, please spend the extra time on their life timelines which are due Dec. 14.
