FIRST EVER ALBEMARLE COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD TELEPHONE TOWN HALL WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16 
The Albemarle County School Board will host its first Telephone Town Hall on Wed., January 16, 2008 at 7 P.M. The Telephone Town Hall will focus on the School Division budget development process for the 2008-2009 school year. 

Albemarle County parents and community members can participate in the Telephone Town Hall in the comfort of their own homes. In a Telephone Town Hall, Albemarle County residents who are registered voters will receive an automated call on their home phone number between approximately 7 and 7:25 P.M. A recorded message will invite residents to join the Telephone Town Hall by pressing a keypad on their phones. Participants will be transferred into the Telephone Town Hall while it is in progress. Participants can listen and can ask questions. 

School Division employees and parents who are registered voters in Albemarle County do not need to sign-up to participate; they will automatically receive the call on January 16 between 7 and 7:25 P.M. inviting them to participate. 

School Division employees and parents who are not registered voters in Albemarle County but would like to participate in the Telephone Town Hall can sign-up at http://schoolcenter.k12albemarle.org/education/components/form to participate. Online sign-ups will only be taken through Friday, January 11th, so sign up now!

COLLEGE & CAREER PLANNING NIGHT, THURSDAY JANUARY 17TH 
Although high school graduation seems a long way off to parents of middle and elementary school students, there are things you can do now to help your child make better decisions and have more options regarding their future. These sessions will be lead by highly qualified individuals from the Virginia 529 College Savings Plan, Albemarle County Schools, UVa, CATEC, and PVCC.  For more information, please contact Shelley Payne at 984-6862 or shp33 at embarqmail.com

PTO MEETING/PAJAMA NIGHT TUESDAY, JANUARY 22nd

Come to the next PTO meeting in your jammies!  Tuesday, January 22nd at 7 P.M.  
Come in your fuzzy slippers, your comfy jammies and listen to bedtime stories with milk and cookies….all while learning what’s happening with the PTO, the school budget and upcoming events.  Don’t miss a chance to see YOUR principal in her PJs!  This is sure to be a night to remember!

THE SRE TALENT SHOW FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22nd   
AUDITIONS WILL BE FRIDAY, JANUARY 25th

You should see a registration/information flyer coming home Friday via backpack mail and the Oak Leaf will also have the details.  Don’t let the auditions scare you away!  We’re not expecting a perfected routine whatsoever.  We’re just trying to get an idea of what kinds of acts we’re going to have, how many there will be, and to make sure it’s appropriate for an elementary talent show.  If you have any questions, contact either Cathy Clemons at CandBClemons at aol.com, or Sasha Noble at Snoble20268 at msn.com. 

SKATE NIGHT RETURNS Jan. 25th!  6:30 P.M.—8:30 P.M. in the gym

Bring your skates and roll to some great music with your friends and family.  The cost is $1 per skater, and .50cents to rent a pair of skates (though inventory is VERY limited). Refreshments will also be available.  Please note that all skaters are required to wear a helmet. If you have extra, outgrown skates at home, we’d love to add them to our inventory!....and who knows, you might start seeing air guitar contests or lip synching contests at these events!

JUMP ROPE FOR HEART IS THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14TH 2:30 – 4:30
The SRE annual event this year is being held on Thursday, February 14th in the gym from 2:30-4:30. This is for 3rd-5th graders only because we have so many jumpers each year that we can only handle half the school and the older children have more endurance and stronger jumping skills.  Those who are not familiar with the event should know that this is a fund raiser for the American Heart Association.  It promotes teamwork, cooperation, fitness and raises awareness of health and the benefits of exercise,…not to mention it’s just lots of fun!  

Your child will be coming home with more information regarding this big event, but please know that we could use some volunteers to help donate snacks, prepare the food and deliver it to the kids (who can’t stop jumping)..we offer fruit and drinks to keep their energy up.  If you’d like to help out, you can just send in the bottom of the flyer that should be coming home shortly.  Or, you can call 296-3754 ext 160 and talk to Mrs. Reardon.  They’ll be sure to put you to good use!
