Final Week Updates

There are no backpacks or lunchboxes allowed on buses the last day of school on Friday per cobb county policy.  I will be sending home all supplies on Thursday.  Please make sure your student has lunch money ~ there are no charges allowed in the cafeteria this week.

We are very proud of our Pickett's Mill Relay for Life team.  Our school finished in the top five for the county by raising more than $14, 600.00.  Thank you to everyone who supported this cause.  Hopefully we are one step closer to a cure.

 Watchdog

Want to know more about the WatchDOGS (Dads Of Great Students) program that we will be launching in the fall? We will be the first school in Cobb County

to launch a program of this type. We are asking dads to serve as Grade Level “Lead DOGS” for the 2009-2010 school year. This will be dads who can spend more than just the one day per year that other DOGS will be volunteering. There will be an organizational meeting of “Lead DOGS” on Thursday, May 21st at 6PM in the PME Media Center. We will explain the WatchDOGS program and begin the planning for our “Dads and Kids Pizza Night” coming up this fall. The meeting should be no longer than one hour. For more information about the WatchDOGS program, please go to www.WatchDOGS.net. If you are able to attend the meeting, please RSVP by e-mail kschumacher@bellsouth.net  or call Keith Schumacher at 678-859-6139.

Final Five Days


Cool sun

It has been such an AWESOME third grade year especially with it being Pickett’s Mill’s first year!   The end of each year is always so bittersweet.  I am sad to see them go, but so proud of the academic progress and growth that each PIRATE has shown over the year!  And the time has finally come for them to be fourth graders! 

Thank you so very much for all of the wonderful support and kindness you have given to me all year.    Wishing each family a super delightful summer!  Below is a schedule of the Final Five days of the year:

Multiplication Monday - We will take one minute timed tests throughout the day to review our multiplication facts to build a super yummy sundae.  It is also Tug-o-War Time during our specials, so please wear tennis shoes and bring gloves if you want.

Market Day Yard Sale Tuesday – Bring in at least 10 to 15 items you have created/made at home.  We have invited our book buddies to come shop with us in the afternoon.

Iditarod Musher Motivational Speaker 3rd - 5th, 8:15 - 9:45

Backwards Day Wednesday - Wear your clothes backwards and be prepared to do things backwards all day long.

Also, it is Autograph Day!  If your child purchased a yearbook, he or she may bring it in to have friends sign it.  All of third grade will sign yearbooks in the morning.  If you didn’t buy one, we have made an autograph book for you!  Bring a good pen to use.

Sports Galore Thursday ~ Wear your sports uniform or favorite team jersey or shirt.  We’ll play kickball and enjoy hotdogs as a snack.

Roll the Dice Friday ~ Get ready to learn some dice games!  Remember ~ No backpacks may be brought to school today!
