The closer we get to the new school year, the longer the lines will be for immunizations. Please have your child's immunizations updated as soon as possible to avoid long waits and crowded clinics. Here is the link for MCSD's Immunization Requirements: http://www.mcsdga.net/inside/student/services/immunization0809.htm.
Verification Day! Tuesday, August 4th from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm is Gentian Elementary School's Verification Day, where students and their parents/guardians report to verify their school and classroom assignments. Spano Clothing Bank Ready to clean out your child's closet? Or yours? If so, please consider donating your gently used clothing to the Sara Spano PTA Clothing Bank. There is a critical need for boys' pants sized 6 to 8 and adult sized shirts and pants, male and female, in XL and 2XL sizes. Too, the Clothing Bank always appreciates new packages of socks and underclothes in all sizes ranging from Pre-K to adult sizes. The clothing bank serves all public school students throughout the school year in Muscogee County. Bring your donation in to Gentian or drop your clothes off at the Clothing Bank at 1112 29th Street. Clothing Bank hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9 A.M. to 12 P.M. If you would like to volunteer, call 706-748-2414.
In addition, we will have a Verification Evening on Monday, August 3rd from 5:00 to 6:30 pm, for parents/guardians who may have trouble taking time off during the day.
At both events there will be a PTA Membership booth and a Spirit Wear booth.
Please, plan on joining the PTA. Each membership is only $4, and it helps fund the programs and events that make Gentian Elementary such a great place for your child.
For a low price, you can purchase Gentian shirts and hoodies to wear on Spirit Day, which is every Friday that school is in session. Help encourage your child to take pride in our school.
One of the easiest ways to show your support for your child, your child's teacher and the school is by getting your PTA membership.
Gentian PTA membership is $4.
Pick up your membership envelope at school in the PTA mailbox or send a note in with your child's backpack.
Your membership gives every child at Gentian a voice in the local, state and national scene. Your membership helps pay for PTA programs and activities at Gentian.
Thank you for your support!
