Coweta County students will end the first
semester and let out for Christmas and New Year’s break on
Tuesday, December 18. Students will return to school on
Thursday, January 3. In addition to finishing their first-semester school work, students have held several special activities since Thanksgiving. On Saturday, December 8, The Parent-Teacher Organization at Thomas Crossroads Elementary School hosted a well-attended “Breakfast with Santa,” complete, of course, with a visit from Santa himself. St. Nick was provided ably by James “Buster” Clark, of the Coweta County School’s operations department. Parents and children streamed in to the school’s cafeteria throughout the morning to whisper Christmas wishes in his ear. Santa has made his way to many other schools across Coweta County, and students have held special concerts and activities to mark the holidays. This year’s school calendar is a little different from that of previous years. Tuesday, December 18 will be the last day of school (and will not be a half-day, as in previous years). Teachers will hold a work-day at school on December 19, and the schools will be closed from December 20 through January 1 for the holidays. Staff returns on January 2, and the first day of school for the new semester will be Thursday, December 3. Students will also be out on January 21 to observe Martin Luther King’s Birthday, and will be out for the full week around Presidents Day, February 18-22.  Thomas Crossroads Elementary School students had a visit from Santa Claus on Saturday, December 8 (Santa is a good friend of Coweta County School System employee Buster Clark, by the way.) Above, Santa listens to the Christmas wishes of Thomas Crossroads students Grant Klone (1st grader) and Garrett Klone (3rd grader). |
