A Note From Our Principal,
We hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with loved ones and we enjoyed celebrating with you all last month. As the winter holidays approach we have many special events planned for our students and families and look forward to spending time with you all. We’ve also enclosed important winter and holiday procedure reminders in this newsletter. Please read through it carefully and reach out if you have any questions, concerns. Happy Holidays!
Sincerely,
Jan Beachy

Inclement Weather Reminders
We do not always follow the closure schedule of the local public schools because we don’t have to contend with the same transportation issues as public schools. Our goal is to be open as many days as possible to support our working parents. If we must close because our teachers cannot safely get to work, you will receive a notification via Links 2 Home as soon as the closure is announced. We also post notifications on our website and Facebook page.

Winter Clothing Reminder
If you’ve not already done so, please check your child’s cubby to ensure they have an extra set of weather appropriate clothes. Students also need to come to school each day with a jacket and dressed warm enough to play outside for part of the day. If the weather is brisk we still go outside for active games and SPARK activities and want everyone to be able to participate!

Classroom Holiday Celebrations—Friday, December 14th
Through the month of December our classes will be learning about different winter holidays and customs. On Friday, December 14th, our students will showcase their learning and the holiday décor they’ve created with a holiday celebration. Parents are welcome to attend and we will share extra photos on Links 2 Home for those who cannot come. Some classes are collecting small extras for their celebratory snack, please check with your child’s teacher for more information. Party times will be posted on classroom doors.

Holiday Giving Project
This year Carrington Academy Suwanee will be partnering with the Forsyth County Fire Department in collecting toys for “Toys for Tots.” This project is a wonderful opportunity for the children to really experience the gift of giving. Toys for Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve which distributes NEW toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for the holidays. The program was founded in 1947 by reservist Major Bill Hendricks. This would be a great opportunity to let the kids go out and pick out a toy on their own, one that they would enjoy themselves, and let them bring it in themselves to put in the box. Maybe they can even use some of their own money! Let them truly experience the gift of giving! The deadline for bringing in gifts is December 11th.
