A Service Project
Lily Wressell, a fourth grader in Mrs. Huizenga’s class, is asking her fellow Georgetown students and families to join her in supporting the Pediatric Oncology Resource Team, P.O.R.T., that operates with Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital.
P.O.R.T. provides much needed resources and hands-on support for families with a child diagnosed with cancer or life-threatening blood disorders.
Lily will be collecting items to put into theme baskets for the P.O.R.T. Winter Night Out fundraiser in February.
In particular she is requesting items related to kids arts and crafts such as; paints, crayons, paper, stencils, stickers, etc.
She is also looking for gift wrap items; paper, bags, bows, ribbon, cards, etc.
If you are interested in donating items there will be a box located in the lobby until Monday, Feb 6 that you may put them in.
Thank you for helping Lily reach her goal of providing two baskets to help P.O.R.T.

Snow Much Fun!!!
That was the perfect theme for this week as we kicked off reading lots of non-fiction books that gave us many interesting facts about snow. Did you know that:
Snow is white; Falls from the clouds and gets bigger and bigger as it falls; Has 6 arms (or branches); Every snowflake is different (no 2 the same); Can be wet and sticky, or dry and fluffy; Snow melts into water; Snowflakes can be big, medium or small. These are just some of the many facts we learned!
Here are a few photos of us quickly stepping out to catch and observe a snowflake or two as they were floating down to see us for our snow lesson at Georgetown:
I was so excited to see that our principal, Mrs. Reagan, located a fun site to visit where you can design your very own snowflake on the computer! Please visit Make your own Snowflake to try it for yourself!
Please see our latest newsletter, for more information on our week together, along with other important upcoming reminders.
Stay Warm!!
