Book Fair Success!

Last week was a very good week. Even though it was only a four day week, Kennedy Elementary was extremely busy.

Our Book Fair was a huge success. We did have over $4000 in sales last week, and we will still be open on Monday and Tuesday as well. If you have not purchased your books, please come by on Monday or Tuesday. Mr. Frame and Mrs. Hall did an amazing job promoting the book fair and had many volunteers helping out throughout the week (Thanks Mrs. Cheek, Mrs. Hardy, and Mrs. Lee). I can't wait to see Mr. Frame get hit with 5 pies for the sales.

We also had an amazing turnout for our two Grandparents Breakfasts. Over 200 Parents and Grandparents came in to enjoy a wonderful breakfast at KES. Thanks to Mrs. Evans for organizing it and to Mrs. Moubray and all the cafeteria ladies for cooking the wonderful food.

If that was not enough, we had picture day as well. The students all looked wonderful all dressed up for their school pictures. I love when the parents send their children in to school all dressed up in their best!

Our clinic was also very busy this past week as well. We have had many students visit the clinic with sickness. We have been doing everything we can to make sure that our building is clean and sanitized. Mr. Harris and his custodial staff have been working later each evening to make sure that every desk, bathroom, and even the door handles are sanitized before they go home. I also know that the teachers are taking additional hand washing trips. 2 of the 4 morning announcements this week also focused on the importance of hand washing to prevent sickness. If you have any questions about what Barrow County schools in doing to prevent flu, please check out the website: www.barrow.k12.ga.us/kes .


How did we do on last week's goals?


1) We did have over $4000 in sales, and we still have 2 more days to go!

2) We had 206 Grandparents in for the Breakfasts, and they all seemed to really enjoy their time!!

3) We had to cancel our Hot Dogs and Homework night on Thursday due to lack of interest. Wednesday afternoon at 3:00, we only had 6 signed up for the night. We cancelled on Wednesday afternoon, but got 5 more on Thursday morning. We had already cancelled. The goal was to have 10 here, and we did have that many but we cancelled because they came in so late. H & H can be an amazing opportunity for both students and parents, but we need to make sure that we are allowing us enough time to prepare. If you are planning on attending, it is very important for us to know the Monday before.! thanks

4) We had 9 classes meet their Math goals this past week. We came up 6 short, but we had many classes that were almost there! Keep working on those math facts each day.

5) Apalachee did not play this week. Sorry I got the wrong Friday!

Goals for week 7
1) Make sure everything is in place for Rise and Shine to start on the 21st!
2) Have 15 classes make their Math goal for the week!
3) Have 10 parents at 4th &5th Hot Dogs and Homework on Thursday!
4) Get into each classroom to see some more writing!
5) Watch AHS beat Clarke Central!
