Directions from Teasley School to Vinings Library

Dear Parents,

 Today we were privileged to visit Teasley Elementary School and introduce our library summer reading program to your children.  This year the theme is:

DREAM BIG – READ!

As soon as school gets out, students will be able to visit any of our Cobb County Public Libraries to sign up, get up a reading log folder, and start checking out books for their summer reading.  We will host story-times in June and July for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers, as well as family programs for all ages on Wednesday afternoons.

 Directions to the Vinings Library from Teasley Elementary School:

 From the school, take a RIGHT onto Spring Hill Road.  Take another RIGHT onto Spring Hill Parkway. Take a LEFT at the light onto Paces Ferry Road. Continue on Paces Ferry over Interstate 285, down the hill, over the RR tracks into the village of Vinings.  At the light by the Sun Trust Bank, take a RIGHT to stay on Paces Ferry Road. Vinings Library is on the right, # 4290, just after the CVS drugstore.  Phone number is (770)-801-5308.

Please remember that Standard School Attire still applies.  We have become a little "loose" with the dress code these past few days.

Thanks!!!!

Popcorn will be on sale tomorrow for $1.00 during field day!

I need the large white envelopes sent in ASAP.  You will need to put the stamps on the envelope and your address.

Thanks!

Just a reminder that tomorrow is Field Day!  Your child needs to wear his or her orange First Grade t-shirt.  Standard school attire is not required for Field Day.

Remember to send in uniforms that can be traded in on Wednesday.  Our dress down day is Thursday, if a uniform is brought to the trade-in event.

Thursday is our Pastries For Parents day!  My husband is having unexpected knee surgery on Thursday so I will not be at school.  My brother, Mr. H., will be taking my place for the day.

Thank you so much the candy that I received yesterday and the cards today.  You all are so thoughtful!

Tomorrow is our Celebration Sudaes event.  I need a couple of volunteers to come and help out!  You would need to bring an ice cream scoop and be here around 12:15 until about 1:30.  Please help us, if you can.

Thanks,

Dawn

Looking for Volunteers!

 

The media center is looking for volunteers for many end of the year projects.  If you have 30 minutes or 2 hours, all help is appreciated.  If you are interested please contact pascaline.papillon-ivey@cobbk12.org or call 770-437-5945 ext. 8.

 

Thanks!

Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for my wonderful cards yesterday and my beautiful flowers today!  I am pretty sure that you could not have planned the flowers any better.  All of the ones that came in were white, yellow and red.  They are absolutely beautiful together!  Thanks so much for being so thoughtfulness.

The Great Standard School Attire Trade-In Event

 

 

Does your child have standard school attire that they have outgrown, but it is still in very good condition? Well, we have an event for you!

The students will have the opportunity to trade in a standard "outfit" for a dress down day sticker. Any clothing that is traded in must be clean and free of holes and/or stains. The trade in outfit may consist of one of the following:

 a pair of pants and a shirt



a pair of shorts and a shirt



a skirt/skort and a shirt



a dress

The students are welcome to bring more than 1 outfit (set), but they will only receive 1 dress down sticker. We would love to stock our standard attire closet in preparation for next school year! Not only will this help some Teasley families, it will also help the clinic!!

Please remember that your child will only receive a sticker to dress down if they bring in a standard attire outfit. Refer to the chart below for trade in and dress down days and have students bring them to the Media Center when they first arrive at school. We appreciate your support with this endeavor!

                                           Trade in Day                  Dress Down Day

1st grade

Thursday, 5-17

Save the Date!

Please mark your calendars for Thursday morning, May 17th.  More information will be coming home later this week.

As you know we will be having our Celebration Sundaes on Friday, May 11th.  If you would be willing to send in an iten for the celebration, please send me an email or a note.

Thanks so much!

Field Trip

We have our field trip to Puppetry Arts this Friday.  Your child should wear his or her orange 1st grade shirt to school.  If you send your child's lunch on Friday, please make sure everything is disposable.  We will not bring food back with us on the bus.  This is always an awesome field trip and we are looking forward to it!

Thank yous!

Thank you to Aziah's mom and dad and Conner's mom for going with us to the Yellow River Game Ranch.

Thank you to Isabella's mom and Conner's mom for coming to work with the class on the art project that will be auctioned off at the Purple Party on May 4th.

A HUGE thank you to Isabella's mom for completing the art project for the class!  I know that she spent countless hours and lots of her own money to make this project succeed.  Thank you!
