FCCLA Troop Donation
20DEC11
Family Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), On behalf of the 1/34 Brigade Special Troops Battalion stationed in Kuwait we would like to thank you for the decorations that you donated and created. We received our Christmas trees a week ago and were pleasantly surprised to find the decorations tucked away inside the boxes. We weren't exactly sure how we were going to decorate the trees, but we were happy to know we were getting them. There are not enough words to show our gratitude for your commitment and dedication in providing a little holiday spirit to the troops stationed overseas during the holidays. We all read the cards and letters that were put into the boxes and were in complete awww of the heartfelt messages sent to the soldiers. We cannot thank you enough for your support. We hope you enjoy the photos that we have attached. These are soldiers within the Battalion that are sharing in some holiday cheer. The decorations were a small gesture that went a very long way as we spend the holidays away from our families this year. We hope that you wll have a very wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!
Take care and God Bless,
1/34 BSTB Soldiers

The number of available appointments is limited.
To have your child considered for this program, please contact Sheila Barlow (378-6235) to obtain the necessary form by January 20, 2012.
Students Warn of the Dangers of Identify Theft
Last year the Georgetown High School DECA Chapter created a financial literacy program titled “Money Doesn’t Grow on Trees.” This program helps students develop good financial habits and money management skills.
Their efforts reached nearly 200 high school students. The chapter has expanded their financial literacy program this year to reach even more students, as well as staff and community members. This is being accomplished through unique learning activities, guest speakers, and interactive games.
In an effort to quickly notify parents, students, and staff of school closings or delays due to inclement weather conditions, GEVS will again utilize the One Call Now system. In order for the One Call Now system to work effectively and efficiently, please be certain that the phone number/s on record with the school are correct. You can select up to two phone_numbers (preferably home and cell phone numbers) for use during an emergency or routine notification. The One Call Now system will call all the phone number(s) listed with the message every time a message is sent. If you only want one phone call, only list one telephone number. Households with more than one student will only receive one call.
In addition to the One Call Now program, GEVS will also be notifying parents/students/staff via radio and television stations whenever inclement weather causes unsafe road conditions for the transportation of students to school. The opening of school may be delayed until road conditions improve or school may be closed for the day if severe weather continues. As soon as the decision is made to delay or close school, the information will be given to the following local and Cincinnati radio and television stations for announcement:
