PTO Movie Matinee

Don't miss Gilbert's first movie matinee!
Friday, January 30th
3-5 p.m.

Hey Moms & Dads! Do you need two hours of free time on Friday afternoon? Well, Gilbert's Movie Matinee is for you! For $5 per student, your child will be able to stay after school on Friday, January 30th until 5:00 p.m. for the movie event. Students should pay close attention to the morning news show to see what we'll be playing. What's a movie without popcorn? Popcorn and a drink are included in the cost. All students will be supervised by volunteers from PTO and Gilbert's staff. Pick up is at 5 p.m. at the gym.

Help support our school with this new fundraiser!
Need more information, call the school at 706-638-2432!

Winter is HERE!

Brrrr..... It's Cold!

Local weather stations are predicting very cold temperatures for the next few days. Weather.com predicts the low for tonight at 23 degrees and tomorrow night at 11 degrees. Please be sure your child dresses appropriately! Dress in layers. Wear a thick coat, not a hoodie! A warm hat and gloves should be worn, especially if your student rides a bus to school in the mornings!

Please label your child's winter coats, hats, and gloves as this will help us prevent lost items!
