Today and Friday we will be participating in the USASOA Christmas card drive!
(United Soldiers and Sailors of America)
We just found out about this program Tuesday evening, and our cards must be postmarked by Friday afternoon, 12/3/21. Christmas cards will be available in the café Thursday and Friday so you and your students can write holiday greetings before returning to afternoon classes.
Our cards will be mailed to the USASOA office in Maryland where they will then be shipped overseas to various military bases around the world. The entire process is completed by volunteers at this non-profit organization, so to offset the cost of postage, we will have a donation jar available and include all the money we collect with our cards.

Parents Against Vaping e-cigarettes (PAVe), with the support of the Georgia Department of Education, Georgia Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and Georgia Chapter of the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners, presents:
Not Just Vapor: Georgia
Tuesday, November 9th, 4pm Eastern
By 10th grade, about 40% of youth have tried vaping, with cheap disposable devices skyrocketing in popularity. But behind the bright colors and sweet flavors are harmful chemicals and nicotine addiction. Join PAVe, with the support of the Georgia Department of Education, for everything Georgia parents, caretakers, teachers, and any adults who work with youth, need to know to help kids avoid or quit using dangerous flavored e-cigarettes, including how to recognize devices and signs and how to speak with your own child.
Submit your own question for our team as you RSVP.
This FREE virtual event will be hosted on Zoom.
