Connect Ed - November 17

Good afternoon Piedmont Families,

 This is Principal Eley calling with the week’s announcements. First of all, we have a great deal to celebrate this past week and I would love to give some shout outs. First, our girls’ basketball team won Tuesday night against Cuthbertson. Thursday, our boys’ team won their away game against Marvin Ridge. We are so proud of both teams and how hard they are working this year. Our wrestling team also took a big win Thursday night in their match against Parkwood. Friday, we celebrated the induction of nearly 100 8^th grade students into Piedmont’s chapter of the Jr. Beta Club. Saturday, our cheerleaders won 1^st place at the Marvin Ridge cheer competition and our Robotics team took home a 2^nd and 4^th place finish out of 32 teams at the Union County Fall Robotics’ Classic. We are so proud of all our Piedmont Panthers. Keep up the hard work!

Now for this week’s announcements. The next 8^th grade DC trip payment is due Monday, November 18^th. Tuesday, we will have a home basketball game and Thursday we will have a home wrestling match. Please come out to support our teams. Friday, we will be welcoming Piedmont High School, Union County Early College, CATA, and Monroe Health Academy to Piedmont to talk to our 8^th graders about their programs.

8th Grade Washington DC Trip

We are so excited that you have decided to attend our field trip to Washington DC!  Each time a deposit is due, you will receive the attached paper and it MUST be turned in with the money.  You will get the paper back a week or two before the deposit is due. The due dates for deposits are: October 14 ($125), November 18 ($125), and the final $125 is due January 13.  You may pay for the trip in full up front with the understanding that there are NO REFUNDS once the money has been paid. On each due date, money will be taken until the end of the school day and will NOT be accepted afterwards.  If you are a volunteer chaperone, you will also have a deposit paper to sign and send in with your money each time. We have also attached a sample of the itinerary.  This is not the exact itinerary for this year’s trip but it will give you an idea of what you will be doing while in DC.
