Dear Cornelia Cub Families,
We enjoyed having ESOL families join us on October 2nd! This month, we will have a couple more opportunities for you to visit and participate in events. Friday, October 10, fifth-grade parents are invited to attend a writing celebration. Book or Treat is a long-standing favorite tradition. Students are invited to bring their families and walk through the book-themed booths to collect candy. A free book will be given to every child. This is also a fundraising opportunity for our school. There will be an option to purchase tickets to play games in the gym, including a bouncy house.
October 27-31 we will celebrate RED RIBBON WEEK! Be sure to check out the details on ClassDojo for each day’s theme OR check out the flyer below.
We will also have the Book Fair from October 27-31. When sending in money for your child to shop, please put the money in an envelope or bag with a note that has the student's name and the amount that is sent.
Sincerely,
Carrie Trotter

10/27 - 10/31 Red Ribbon Week & Book Fair
October 27-31 is Red Ribbon Week—a special time when schools across the country come together to promote healthy, drug-free lifestyles. This year’s theme, “Life is Like a Puzzle—Let’s Solve It Drug Free!”, reminds our students that every choice they make is an important piece of their life’s puzzle. When we make healthy choices, the picture of our future becomes brighter and stronger!
At Cornelia, we’ll celebrate with spirit days, classroom discussions, and activities that focus on making positive choices, showing kindness, and supporting one another. Families can join the fun by talking with your child about what it means to stay drug free and make safe, healthy decisions each day.
Together, we can help our Cubs learn that they are the most important piece in their own puzzle—and that living drug free helps everything fit just right!
Resources
There are lots of resources in our community to help families in need. On the first Saturday of every month, the First Presbyterian Church will be doing a food give away in the Cornelia Elementary School parking lot from 8:00 am until supplies last. The Torch Food Pantry located at 236 Level Grove Road, Cornelia is open Mondays and Saturdays from 10:00 am-12:00 pm and Wednesdays from 5:00-7:00 pm.
At school, we often have access to food, jackets, and counseling resources your student may need. You can reach out to me, Emily Morris, at 706-778-6526 ext. 1311 or emorris@habershamschools.com if your child is in need.

Attendance is critical for student success. However, we know that there will be times when students are sick.
Please see the attached flyer for when a student needs to stay home and when they are ok to come to school.
If they are sick and need to go to the doctor, please send a doctor's note when they return.
