Be a PENS Pal

The Police Email Notification System (PENS) is a notification network that the police uses to update the public about criminal activity in the area via email. This communication channel between Cobb County residents and the police allows citizens to sign up to receive email notices that alert them about criminal activity and trends in their area. In return, citizens are encouraged to ask questions or provide community input to the police and receive timely responses. The Garrison Mill PTA encourages you to sign up today to help create a safer community for our children.

 


Principal'ly' Speaking


Dear Parents,

Thank you for sharing your children with us this year and for your exceptional support of Garrison Mill. We were thrilled to learn that our Garrison Mill PTA received the 3rd place award for District 9 this year. This is quite an honor and speaks very highly of our level of parent participation. We want to invite all of our parent volunteers to our Volunteer Brunch on May 8 from 8:30 a.m.-12:00 noon. This is our “thank you” to each of you for all your support this year!

 

Please join us in congratulating the following staff members. They were recently elected by their peers to serve in honored positions for 2009-2010:

 

• Classified Employee of the Year — Jane Broaddus, Fourth Grade Paraprofessional

 

• Teacher of the Year — Krissy Longyear, Fifth Grade Teacher

 

We also want to wish our retiring staff members a wonderful retirement and to also thank them for many years of dedicated service at Garrison Mill. We are losing some long time staff members this year and will surely miss them. Our retiring staff members are: Pam Britton, school counselor; Diane Dion, first grade teacher; Heather Fowler, fourth grade teacher; Phyllis Nichols, kindergarten teacher; and Peggy Snook, first grade teacher.

 

We hope that you will continue to encourage your child to grow in the following areas this summer: reading, math and writing. Our closest public library, Mountain View Branch, has a brand new children’s department that is well worth checking out! The easiest way to get your children

hooked on reading is to find books that capture their interest. Also be sure to review math facts this summer and check out math websites on the GM web page for some great ways to review. We also want to encourage our students to continue writing and would like to encourage them to keep a journal of summer travels and activities to keep writing skills sharp.

 

Most of all, we hope that you will find time to play, relax, laugh and enjoy each other this summer! Thank you again for a fantastic school year, and we look forward to seeing you all again at Sneak-a-Peek on August 7 and the First Day of School on August 10. It has been a pleasure serving you this year.

 

Sincerely,

 The Garrison Mill Leadership Team
