Weekly Update October 2, 2023

Greetings, Laurel Ridge families!


This week, we continued our PTA Galactic Groove fundraiser, and our students had a blast at our dance! Students earned a library campout under the stars on Monday, so remember to wear your pajamas! 


If you haven't already, check out our fundraising link at bit.ly/GalacticGroove! Please give if you can, and share the link with friends and family.  


We start the week celebrating our Custodial Team: Mr. Johnson, Ms. Lisa, and Ms. Ebone! Their hard work every day keeps our building clean and safe. 


The October calendar will be sent home on Thursday, but here is the link if your family wants to print it off before then.  https://laurelridgees.dekalb.k12.ga.us/SchoolCalendars.aspx 


Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership.


Warm regards,

Ms. Hartman
