3rd Grade students on their way to Desoto Caverns earlier today!

Boosterthon Revision- TAKE NOTE!

Parents,

Due to the weather forecast for tomorrow, our Boosterthon Fun Run will be in the Paine Intermediate GYM.  Please park at Faith Community Fellowship Church at 7660 Gadsden Highway.  The church has asked that parents park in the part of the lot that is closest to Highway 11.  A school bus will shuttle parents to the school from Faith church every 15 minutes or so.  Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the time that your child will be running.

Ring Road Closure

Due to the Paine Primary Boosterthon and Easter Egg Hunt tomorrow, the ring road (carline) will be closed from 8:15am until 2:30pm, in order to ensure the safety of the students and teachers. While this should not affect teachers and staff members on the Intermediate campus, you may want to advise your students and their parents as the closure will affect the afternoon carline. Additionally, Officer Payne asked that no one parks on the yellow curb in front of the Primary campus because the shuttle buses will be transporting parents between Faith and the school. As always, your cooperation is appreciated and I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Marketplace

Marketplace is the Gifted and Talented Education program's entrepreneurial study.  Students in GaTE survey their customer base, come up with a product idea, develop a business plan, and negotiate with their parent national bank presidents for a loan to be paid back with interest. Students sell their products on Marketplace days. It is an extensive study loaded with excitement and fun. Check out some of the great pictures from Marketplace.
