View Article  Lovinggood MS PTSA eNews - Goggles for Science, ALP Fundraiser & Giving Tree REMINDERS

Lovinggood PTSA eNews!    

Safety Goggles to be available
 
Attention Lovinggood Parents!
 
As you know, our philosophy is that many of the concepts we teach in science can best be learned through participation in hands-on activities in the classroom. Often those science labs require that our students wear eye protection, which we do provide.
 
Safety glasses are only effective if students wear them, however, and unfortunately that doesn’t always happen. Objections we frequently hear are that the style of goggles we have are uncomfortable, and that the goggles smell funny because they have been worn and sanitized so many times. We understand and want to offer an alternative.
 
We have arranged with the PTSA to offer safety goggles designed to meet the needs of our school labs. They will be available for student purchase for $3.50 through the School Store. We have selected a style that is worn like eyeglasses; they don’t have the elastic back strap that so many of our students dislike. Of course, no one will be required to purchase a pair and we will always have safety glasses available in the classroom. 
 
If you think you might be interested in purchasing a pair of safety goggles, please print this form and turn in the bottom portion to your science teacher, or just send an email. You are not placing an order or making a commitment to buy - this will just help us know how many we need!
 
Thank you!
The Teachers of the Lovinggood Science Department
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
____  Yes! I want to purchase a pair of science safety goggles!

Lovinggood PTSA eNews!    

  6th Grade Holiday Party 
 
Dear Parents & Guardians,
 
Plans are underway for the Student Holiday party to be held on Wednesday, December 16th, from 2:30 to 4:00.  We will be hosting team parties, with teachers planning activities for the students (karaoke, movie, and games).  We will be soliciting food/beverage donations from students and parents for the party based on the students’ homeroom, see list below. All items purchased should only cost between $2 and $4.  Therefore, if you would rather submit a donation instead of providing the requested item, your student may bring in this donation starting next Thursday, December 10 through Tuesday, December 15.  This money will be used to supplement the items below by purchasing items that are not as prevalent once students have brought items in, and to purchase items for our Holiday Drawing (see below).
 
Please send all food & beverage items and monetary donations from Thursday, December 10 through Tuesday, December 15. 
Team 6-A
Team 6-B
Mowry – holiday napkins 
Frisch – holiday napkins 
Searcy – individually wrapped pretzels or potato chips 
Jackson individually wrapped pretzels or potato chips 
Slaton – juice boxes 
Shivertaker – juice boxes 
King – bottled water 
Makarewicz – bottled water 
Hague - individually wrapped cookies or sweets 
Robinson - individually wrapped cookies or sweets 
Jones – candy canes 
Nasta – candy canes 
Thayer – holiday pencils or pens
Williams – holiday pencils or pens 
Rogers– brown paper lunch bags 
Skillman– brown paper lunch bags 
Holcomb– individually wrapped pretzels or potato chips 
Streetman – individually wrapped cookies or sweets 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In addition to the food and festivities, there will be a holiday gift silent drawing in which the students will be using “iBucks” they will be earning for various things between now and the party to win prizes.  In order for this to be successful, we need parent assistance in the form of either donations of items, i.e. gift cards, new books, sports items such as basketballs, or monetary donations as described above. 
 
Thank you for your support and we look forward to enjoying this time with your students and providing a celebration that they will remember.
 
If you would like to assist in party preparations, or if you have any questions, please contact Valerie Bernstein at 770-426-4471 or valeriebernstein@bellsouth.net.
