Coin Wars – Game On!

The competition is on this year!

Let’s see which Michigan team has the biggest fans at Georgetown prior to their showdown in Lansing on November 2nd, the Saturday before we kick off our Book Fair.

This is the fun part, if MSU fans bring in more coins Mr. Kooiker will wear MSU colors and if U of M fans bring in more coins Mr. Bowen will wear U of M colors on Wednesday, October 30th for Spirit Day!  Which team will it be?  Help us decide with your loose change!

Along with supporting your team your loose change will help us purchase book for classroom libraries.  This helps get more kids reading and those kids reading more. 

The All for Books money we collect also helps readers beyond our school and community. Scholastic Book Fairs matches monetary donations with a donation of up to one million books to the Kids In Need Foundation and Kids in Distressed Situations, Inc.

Please send in your donation prior to October 29th.  Baggies and book slips will be sent home the week of October 21st.  We’ll be weighing the coins at 3:00 PM on Tuesday, October 29th to determine the winner!  

Please join us on October 30th and wear your favorite team’s apparel.   

Your act of kindness helps to bring more knowledge, imagination, and love for reading into the lives of our students. 

Thank you!  Mrs. Havens, Chair of Book Fair and Georgetown Staff

It’s Time to Celebrate!

We are looking forward to celebrating the generous response of the students in our classroom and their families in the Coin War fundraiser!  Tomorrow, March 28, the PTC will be providing a Subway lunch for our classroom.  So, it will not be necessary to pack a lunch.  We will also get a little bit of extra time to enjoy our special lunch.  Thanks, PTC!

Thank You!

I really enjoyed meeting with all of you at parent/teacher conferences!  Thank you for coming and giving me the opportunity of sharing about your child’s progress.

Also, your response to the Coin Wars was incredible!  Thank you for digging deep and sharing many silver coins.  Our classroom container reflected a great effort!  Georgetown students will all benefit by the money collected.
