| Fall
Festival |
FALL FESTIVAL COUNTDOWN...
TWO WEEKS TO GO! "Vol _nteer" - The only
thing missing is U!" Please volunteer to staff a
game, inflatable, craft or help with the food on the day
of the festival. We currently have dozens of
openings from both 10:45-1:30 and
1:15-4:00. Please contact Vanessa
Erens today with your shift of choice. The
Fall Festival has new hours this year. Make note
that it will begin at 11am and end at 4pm. The
craft show opens one hour earlier at 10am. Fill
out those ticket order forms that were sent home
last Friday. Purchasing tickets early
gives you more tickets for the same price and that
means more fun! Be sure to buy more
tickets than you think you need because you'll use
them all and then want more! We are in need of
EZ-ups (those pop-up canopy tents) to provide shade for
the children's craft and auction areas. If
you have any to lend, please contact Carolyn Hansen. There are
sponsorships available for the fall festival. If
any parent or business is interested in sponsoring the
Fall Festival contact Tonya
Roberts.
Thanks so much.
We are looking forward to another wonderful Fall
Festival with our Briarlake families and the
community!

"Toad-Ally
Awesome" Sally Foster News
We are busily tallying
sales and we are looking good to match/surpass our sales
from last year!!! Class party winner, top 2
sellers, and Fur Bus riders will be announced shortly.
The fabulous "Fur Bus" will be taking
students who sold $150+ for a ride on Wednesday, Sept.
30 (in the morning). Look for a permission form in
your child's backpack in the next couple of days.
A signed permission form is required for your child to
ride the Fur Bus. (If you do not receive a
permission form and you feel your child qualified,
please let us know.) Planning ahead -
Sally Foster orders will go home with your child on
Tuesday, Oct. 13 (after the long weekend). * Prizes
that your child earned from the Sally Foster prize
brochure will be included in their order. * If you
have a particularly large order, please make
arrangements to help your child get their order
home. * If your order includes chocolate, remember
not to leave it in the car! * If you child takes
transportation to an area childcare facility, please
check that they will be allowed to take their boxes on
the aftercare bus. Thanks to the Green Team
who will be helping us collect and recycle the boxes
that week (more to come from the Green Team on days
boxes will be collected)! We thank you all
very much for your generosity and
support!

What
a wonderful turnout for the Ice Cream Social on Tuesday!
Thank you to Heidi Carpenter & Lisa Moore for
organizing this great event and thank you to all those
volunteers who set up, scooped, and helped clean-up. We had so
many attend that we ran out of ice cream -what a good problem
to have! We apologize to those who came later and did not get
any but we appreciate your understanding and will certainly
make note of this for next year!

| International Peace Day -
September 21st |
Parents and members of the
community are invited to help Briarlake celebrate the
International Day of Peace on Monday, September 21st. At 8:30
a.m., all staff and students will meet in the front of the
school to "plant" the peace flags they made in art. Then
at 1:30 p.m., everyone will assemble in the cafeteria for our
peace rally. Parents are encouraged to attend both
events with their child/children. In case of rain,
we will display the flags on Tuesday morning.
We look
forward to this annual event. We are proud to be a "No
Place for Hate" school and hope our 400 flags make a statement
to the community and anyone who drives by. What a
colorful site it will be!! Won't you join
us?

Girl Scout troop #
25437 will be collecting eye glasses at the Fall
Festival. We will have a box to collect all glasses.
They will be given to the Georgia Lions Lighthouse who
provides assistance to those in need in our community by
helping to pay for glasses or a visit to an eye doctor (among
other programs). The Lighthouse collects used eyeglasses
(or sunglasses) for use in Operation Eye Care. Donated
glassed are washed, read and sorted by their volunteers.
They are then sent on mission trips to developing areas in the
world.
Thank
you, Mrs.
Francis
