Dear Parents:
It is getting to be that time of year again when children anxiously watch the skies for snow clouds! In the event that we have to close school because of weather, we will have that posted on TV channels WKRN-2, WSMV-4, and Fox 17. Please check those TV stations for up to date information about school closing. You can also check the blog on the school website
Generally if the weather is bad enough to close Warren County Schools, we will also close. However, because Warren County buses must go into some higher elevations where snow does not melt as rapidly, Warren County Schools may need to close for two or three days, but we will probably open after only missing one day. In any event, please check the TV stations or the web blog.
I am happy to announce that we have made arrangements to provide child care for those of you who need it if we have to close school. Child care will be available from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Mrs. Renee Burch, our pre-kinder teacher, will supervise the child care. Children will come to child care will need to bring their own snack and lunch. They should come prepared to play in the gym or even to be outside if weather permits.
The cost for child care will be $20 per child for the day for the first child in the family, and $10 for each additional child in the same family, regardless of how long they stay.
Thank you,
Robert W. Harper

Gifts-
Dear parents,
During this holiday season, children often want to get a gift for a special friend or teacher in addition to their classroom party. If this is something you or your child is planning on doing or would like to do, we have come up with a special way of letting that someone special know you care and helping the school out all at the same time. You may make a donation to the school, any dollar amount, in honor of that special friend. (You may also honor an outstanding teacher.)Both names will be displayed in the hallway (either on a tree or bulletin board) and the list read during the Christmas program. The dollar amount will not be made public, and no dollar amount is too small. This is completely optional. If you have already done your shopping that is completely fine, or if you simply prefer to handle things another way then that is fine too. Most of us have been extremely blessed and don’t really need anything, but it’s fun for the kids to give presents to their buddy, and this way they get to have a little recognition (which makes little kids feel good about what they did), and their friend gets to feel extra special as well, and both have helped the school. If this is something you would like to participate in, simply send the information and the amount to either your child’s teacher or to the office. We will start collecting for this immediately and continue to the day of the Christmas program.
Thank you for your help and support. Merry Christmas to you all!!

Basketball Pictures!!!
Teachers & Coaches, The date for the basketball pictures has been changed due to conflicts with the high school basketball teams. Please include the new date in your newsletters. The new date is December 4, Thursday. We will be shooting after Chapel. All team members need to come dressed in their uniform (even if they do not want to purchase pictures) for the group shots. If any other teams would like to have their pictures made at this time, that would also be fine. We will be shooting inside the gym. Attached is an order form that the student will need to turn in on Thursday along with the money. Thanks,Dachelle McVey, LACE Treasurer
Christmas In the Park
Teachers, LACE is going to have a booth at Christmas in the Park on Tuesday, December 2nd. As usual we will have our pecans & cookbooks for sale, but we won't be having our usual bake sale this time. Instead we are planning a "Promote Boyd School" booth. Our plan is to give out cups of hot cocoa & brownies. We need help from the parents. Please include in your newsletters that LACE needs hot cocoa & brownies individually wrapped in saran wrap. We will be putting ribbon on them to represent presents. We will also (hopefully) have a DVD playing a school slide show. If any of you have any pictures, please email them to me to include in the slide show. Thank you so much,Dachelle McVey, Treasurer
