Rachel’s Challenge/Save It Forward
Food Drive

 So far we have had a wonderful response to our food collection for needy families here in Cobb County. We will continue to collect boxed and canned food until the 100^th day of school (Jan. 27^th), so please keep those donations coming! For each donation a student brings in, they receive a link to add to our Rachel’s Challenge Chain for their act of kindness. Thank you for your generosity!

 We currently have 53 products!!!!!

- Original Art Works magnets: Please send in either your payment for the magnet or return the magnet if you aren't interested in purchasing one.

The Cobb County Fire Marshalls have begun writing Fire Lane Parking violations in school parking lots this week.  A number of people have already received citations.  They were at Frey this week and will be back to continue checking the fire lane as well as the Handicapped parking spots.  The Fire Marshall will continue writing these citations throughout the county this school year.  Please remember that if you park in the fire lane (the curb that is painted red), you risk being ticketed.

Orginial Art Works magnets are due. If you are not going to purchase any items, please return the magnet by Monday, November 7th.

The first grade team is collecting soap for our school supplies. If you can please pick up some while you are shopping it would be greatly appreciated.

Please join Frey as we SAVE IT FORWARD.  Our goal is to collect 100 cans of food by the 100th day of school. If each child could bring in one can a month then our goal would be met. All the food collected will go towards feeding families in our Cobb County community.
