Hi Eastvalley Family,
Tuesday, November 8 is a student holiday. Teachers will be in staff development meetings for the day. Just for future reference, all Cobb County schools are typically closed on the first Tuesday of November which is a voting day.
We are supporting Cobb County in their support of the United Way campaign! For a $1 donation, students may wear their pajamas to school Friday, November 11th. Pajamas must be school appropriate. Thank you for supporting United Way. Did you know you can call 211 if you are in need of assistance and United Way may be able to help you out?
Last week a survey was sent home to gauge parent interest in students wearing uniforms at Eastvalley. The reason for the survey was because we had received inquiries about the possibility. There was no hidden agenda, no school reason, no push from the county. We only wanted input before any further research was done into the question of uniforms. If you have sent your survey, thank you. If you have not returned it, you have until November 17. We will publish the results as soon as we have them tallied.
Friday is Veteran's Day so let me thank all of you who have served our country in the armed services. My father was a Marine at the age of 17 and served on the island of Guadalcanal during WWII, earning the Purple Heart for being wounded during that battle. He came home and decided upon a career with the Alabama National Guard, serving over 40 years as a full time member. My brother retired as a major in the Air Force after 30 years of service. I am proud of both of them and proud that they served their country so willingly. I hope that the veterans in Eastvalley families feel the support from us as we celebrate this day.
Have a great week!
