PLTs on Wednesday! 

Hello!

It has been a CRAZY week...but it is almost Friday!   


I want to take a moment to welcome Mrs. Coker to our Rural Hall Family!  She is Mrs. Robertson's new assistant.  Please take a moment to welcome her.  


PLEASE MAKE A NOTE OF THIS!!!
     We will NOT have Staff Development on the October 26 Workday.  I have altered the schedule because we are officially  "Staff DEVELOPED!"  :-)   
      Seriously, we need a break.  It feels like we have been going and going, so feel free to take the day off if you have the leave available.  This must be entered into the sub system.  

Please remember to be at the Mayflower at 7:00 am if you are volunteering for the 5K/10K Run this Saturday.  If you have not signed up, there is still time!  Our business association does a lot for our school, and they need our support.  A BIG THANK YOU to those that are running (or walking like me) in the race.  Let us know if you have questions.  

I have placed an OUT OF HERE PASS in the boxes of everyone that participated in the Bully Walk last Saturday. Please let me know if I missed you! 

Make sure you have reviewed the TESTING SCHEDULE.  I will send out a modified ENCORE schedule soon.  

If you are participating in the Trunk or Treat on October 30th for the PTA movie night.  Please let me know so that I can make sure I have candy for all staff participating.  

Congrats Mrs. Lyda!!

                            CONGRATS Mrs. Lyda!!!  

Mrs. Lyda was selected by the Forsyth Education Partnership!   The winners of the 2015 Innovative Grant were announced and put on the school system website. These grants are are sponsored by Woody Clinard and administered through the Forsyth Education Partnership.  Although we don't know the amount yet,  the grants are up to $500 and enable teachers to help students in ways that might not otherwise be possible. Mrs. Lyda will use the funds to continue to provide therapy for her students at Riverwood.   Congratulations!
