They performed wonderfully, represented the school well, and showed class and good sportsmanship the entire day! They have been working EXTREMELY hard for the past couple of months, and their final competition will wrap up in the Georgia Dome on October 29th. Please congratulate these amazing students on their achievements and wish them the best of luck for the remainder of the season. http://www.cobbk12.org/kell All students ages 14 through 17 who accumulate 10 or more days of unexcused absences will be held in violation of the Georgia Department of Driving Services.

The students are identified by counselors and come from Kell's five feeder elementary schools. Each student is given the opportunity to shop for gifts, participate in some holiday activities, and enjoy some holiday treats. The students are also provided with a bag of groceries with breakfast and lunch items for the holidays. We will begin to collect food this month and continue through December. We are asking for specific food items to include in the food bags this year so that everyone gets the same items. In October, we want to "Scare Up Some Breakfast". Collection bins will be available near the front office until October 14th. Please bring your donations of boxed cereal, oatmeal, pancake mix (add water only), and syrup. No glass containers, please! http://www.cobbk12.org/kell This is just a reminder that the deadline for submitting your entry to the PTSA Reflections contest is this Friday, October 7th at 4:00 pm.
