Discovering Diamonds

Queridos padres,

El lunes 11 de noviembre honraremos a los veteranos en la

escuela. Nuestros veteranos e invitados se unirán a nosotros en el

gimnasio. Los estudiantes podrán ver el programa en vivo en sus

aulas. El programa será seguido por un paseo por el edificio. Que

su estudiante vista los colores rojo, blanco y azul en honor a

nuestra celebración. Gracias a nuestro PTO por brindar golosinas a

nuestros huéspedes. Muchas gracias a la Sra. Toni Sullivan,

maestra de arte, por organizar el evento.

Durante la semana del 18 al 22 de noviembre tendremos nuestra

semana de agradecimiento de North Cluster. Durante este tiempo

también estaremos recolectando Toys for Tots con el JROTC de

North Forsyth High School. Por favor, estén atentos para más

detalles.

Un recordatorio -- el “Car Rider Line” cierra a las 7:35 para darles a

los alumnos suficiente tiempo para llegar a sus aulas antes de que

suene la campana. Como saben, tenemos días llenos de actividades

y lecciones increíbles para los estudiantes y queremos hacer el

mejor use del tiempo lectivo de nuestros alumnos. Si acaso su

tiene un articulo extraviado pasor de pasar a ver en el ára de

“objetos perdidos y encontrados”. ¡Hemos logrado acumular

muchos de ellos! Gracias por su ayuda y apoyo.

El más cálido saludo,

Kimberly Davis

Veterans Day 2019 and School Poppy Program

The Pathway Teachers have been busily coordinating this year’s Veterans Day Assembly which is scheduled for Monday, November 11th beginning at 9:00am in the Coal Mountain Gym. We have many activities planned for the assembly to demonstrate the importance and significance of this

national holiday.

We are asking students and staff of Coal Mountain to invite Veteran friends and relatives to join in a special recognition of their service at the assembly by completing the form found in the school

newsletter or on the school website.

We are also hosting a Poppy Program that benefits the great programs the VFW offers for so many. Proceeds from Poppy distribution help needy and disabled veterans, and widows and orphans of deceased veterans. Proceeds are divided between national, state, and local charitable purposes.

This year our school has a goal to raise $500.00. We will divide this amount into four “House” goals of $125.00.

We will announce the winning “House” on the Miner Morning News on Veterans Day.

The Poppy Drive will begin on November 4th and end on November 8th.

Donations will be accepted each morning in the school lobby. Any amount is greatly appreciated to reach our “House” goal. Our hope is to present the VFW with our goal amount of $500.00! Poppies

will be distributed each morning to wear for the school wide Veterans Day Assembly and on Veterans Day.

We all need to wear our poppies proudly to honor those who have given so much to protect our great country!

Please donate! Thank you!

Long Sleeve House Shirt – Due by November 13th

Houses are learning communities at CMES. The House model splits our kindergarten through fifth grade into four

vertical teamed houses. Coal Mountain’s motto is “Mining for Coal, Discovering Diamonds” and each house is

named after a gemstone. The four houses are: Amethyst, Emerald, Ruby and Sapphire. Each Wednesday our

students are encouraged to show their house spirit by wearing their house shirts. In addition to Wednesday’s,

students are encouraged to wear their house shirts for early release days, pep rallies, field trips, etc. Our houses

help to build a solid foundation for all children to exhibit strong personal qualities now and throughout their

lifetime.

The cost of the long sleeve shirt is $20. Cash or checks (CMES) are accepted.

You may submit one check, but please complete a separate form for each child.
