Fwd: Two Urban Licks Cocktail Reception: Celebrating The Future of Atlanta

Yall: This will be tons of fun if you can make it and for a great cause! See below.

Two Urban Licks Cocktail Reception:  Celebrating The Future of Atlanta

Dear Pace Parents

Pace Academy was the first school to participate in the innovative Ron Clark/Pace Academy partnership, where the lives of students from both schools were enriched as they were exposed to different cultures and teaching styles.

This year's 8^th grade will be the first graduating class from Ron Clark Academy. As a result of our partnership with Ron Clark, we are hoping to attract some of these bright students who have traveled the world as a part of their curriculum. Although Ron Clark Academy educates students from all economic backgrounds, there will be some students that will be limited only by their financial situations.

As a parent of a Pace Academy student each of your children at some point will benefit from this partnership. As a middle school student your child will participate in the Ron Clark exchange program and as a high school student your child's academic experience will be enriched as they study with some of the brightest and most culturally diverse students in Atlanta.

As a Pace Academy parent, we would like for you to invest in not only these students but your child's future by supporting this event by attending the Two Urban Licks Red Carpet Cocktail Reception: Hollywood Comes to Atlanta, Feb 20, 2010, from 5 - 7 pm.

Please encourage your friends and family to come out and support this diversity effort.

Fwd(4): Musical Mornings

Hi Anna, Thanks so much for helping us out. here is the email. Evia

 

We are well into our second year with program at the Lower School called Musical Mornings Concerts (“MMC”).   MMCs are informal musical performances in the cafeteria on Wednesday mornings before your child is dismissed to his/her classroom.  Our goals are many:

·         to expose the students to a variety of music,

·         to provide opportunities for (US and MS) students, faculty, staff, parents, and friends to perform for a live audience,

·         to teach the audience (our children) positive concert participation and behavior, and

·         to start each Wednesday with some music and a smile!

 

To help the program to succeed, we need your participation! 

·         If you have any musical talent you’d be willing to share, please do!  Be a performer!  You don’t need to be extraordinarily talented…just willing and somewhat able (and awake).

·         Send your child to school by 7:35 on Wednesday mornings so he/she may catch the show.

·         Talk it up!  Tell your friends!  If you know someone who might be willing to perform early in the morning, send them my contact info!

 

Any questions or to volunteer your talents, please contact Stephanie Ross at stephanieross4@bellsouth.net

Urgent: 2nd grade auction basket-All about Men!

Hi Ginny –

2 things:

·         I ordered the cake for Ms Jackson and will pick it up Monday morning at 10.  Would you be able to bring plates & napkins?

·         Would you please re-send this basket email on Sunday night or Monday morning?  I don’t want to send it today as I think people will forget about it over the weekend.

Thanks!

Blair

Yall: We can make this a really successful auction basket if you can do one of the following below. Ask you husbands for help.  Mike and I put our heads together and realized he had a client that might be able to help in the golfing arena.  Also, the contributions add up and we can purchase some fun items to fill in as well. Thanks!

Urgent: Birthday Cards for Helen Jackson

Please don't forget to make a special card for Helen Jackson over the weekend to bring in on Monday morning for Mrs. Jackson's half birthday. We will bring her a cake at lunch to celebrate.

Helen Jackson's Half Birthday

We hope everyone had a nice long weekend.

Mrs. Jackson's birthday is in July. Blair Robbins and I want to celebrate her half birthday this month since other classes are doing the same. (Ms. Mahaney's is later this spring)

Blair and I thought it would be nice if the children help celebrate her birthday  

by making and bringing in a card next Monday morning, January 25th.

Please have your son or daughter write in the card one thing that they  

think is special or appreciate about Mrs. Jackson. The children can  

present these cards in the morning when they enter the classroom.

Around 11:30 (lunchtime) we will surprise Mrs. Jackson with a cake for  everyone in her class to enjoy.

Thank you for your help in making Mrs. Jackson feel special!  We will send out a reminder later this week, too.

Thank you,

Blair Robbins and
