Doctors’ offices, restaurants, and banks are all great “spots” to display cards to let the public know more about Wildwood. We are counting on you to get the word out!

GALA NEWS
Count Your Blessings Fund
In this week’s Chapel, we kicked-off Wildwood’s Count Your Blessings Fund. This is a fabulous opportunity for our children to raise money by completing jobs such as washing the dog, setting the table, selling baked goods, helping neighbors or family members, just to name a few! Here’s What To Do:
1.) Complete a small job or task.
2.) After completing a small job, each child is given the opportunity to drop the money earned into the large glass container and also write their name and job on the Count Your Blessings Fund Board located in the Dining Hall.
3.) Students will be recognized weekly for their efforts.
Gala Guests will then be given the opportunity to match or exceed our students’ contributions to help raise money for Wildwood’s Scholarship Fund. We will continue this until March 15, 2008. Please encourage your children to GIVE BACK to their school in this rewarding way!
Gala tickets are still available….get yours before February 29th.
Still thinking about Auction Items…if you have any doubts or questions, please contact Amy Teague at 706-579-2562 or AmyTeague1@yahoo.com.

HEAD OF SCHOOL’S COMMENT
TARDY?
On these cold, rainy mornings, I know it is often hard to get out of bed; however being tardy to school has far-reaching consequences. The way your child starts the day affects the remainder of his / her time at school. When children are late, they feel rushed and like they are “behind” before they have even started. Please enlist your child’s help in selecting clothing the night before, packing his / her book bag and putting it by the door (or better yet in the car). Organizational strategies are important life skills to learn and practice, and we want Wildwood students to be well-equipped for the present, as well as the future.
