News and Reminders

Our Thanksgiving Feast was a huge success! Thanks so much to the Room Moms who planned and set up for this event. All the food the parents sent was wonderful and we were stuffed! Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Wow! What an outpouring of LOVE! We had a wonderful response to Operation Christmas Child boxes. The children especially enjoyed seeing the Chick-fil-A cows do a little "gangam style" dancing. Be sure to look on tattnall.org for pictures.

In your child's backpack today, you will find 2 forms. One is concerning the Art Fair on December 6 before the Christmas Musical.  You may not know yet if you will attend the musical or not, but the Art Fair starts right after school.  If you do not RSVP, your child's work will not be on display. To RSVP, please mark, "I will attend," sign it, and have your child return it on Monday after Thanksgiving.

The second form concerns Kids Yule Love. This is Tattnall's 25th year to support Kids Yule Love. The Trojan Spirit Shop is selling t-shirts to commemorate this landmark, with all proceeds going to Kids Yule Love. If you would like one of these shirts, please complete the form, attach your check, and return it to school with your child by Wednesday, November 28. 

The Christmas Musical will be on Thursday, December 6. Students in grades 1-3 will be performing. Between 3:00 and the beginning of the musical, you may go to the Art Fair or to the Usborne Books display in the Media Center. Both are great places to pick up Christmas gifts!!

Open House Incentives :)

     Open House season is upon us, and we need your support. While advertising plays a large part in recruiting prospective families to TSA, you, our current families, are by far our most effective means of promotion. You can provide a first-hand experience for a new family and make the difference in whether that family inquires and eventually attends Tattnall Square Academy.
     This year we are offering a few incentives to our Tattnall family members for help to promote TSA and our Open House dates. When guests arrive for open house, they sign in. Alongside their name will be a column for them to identify the name of the person from TSA who made personal contact with that family and extended the invitation.

• Students who made contact with an Open House attendee will receive a free dessert coupon from the TSA Cafe. *One coupon per Open House.
• Parents who made the contact will be entered (one entry per family attending) to win a gift certificate to the Spirit Shop.
• We will honor these incentives for each Open House held.

Open House dates:
     Pre-School
           Tuesday, November 13th, 11:00 a.m.
     Community Wide (All Grades)
           Sundays at 2:00 p.m. on January 13th, February 10th, March 10th

Teaming Up for Operation Christmas Child

Who? Tattnall and Chick-fil-a are teaming up to support the children of Samaritan’s Purse. We are asking for each family in the elementary school to fill a box for a needy child. (1 per family)

What? Chick-fil-a will provide our TATTNALL families with boxes to fill for Operation Christmas Child. Boxes will be available to pick up from your homeroom teacher on Wed., Nov. 7th. See samaritanspurse.org for information on how to fill your box. (Details include items for the box as well as $7 per box for shipping.)

When? Boxes will be due Wed., Nov. 14th

Where? The Chick-fil-a Cow will bring a truck to Tattnall on Nov. 14th, along with 13 WMAZ, to pick up our boxes!

WHAT IS THE MISSION?

The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God's love in a tangible way to needy children around the world, and together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Tattnall and Chick-fil-a are proud to take part in this great mission!
