News from the Nest

News From the Nest

Families, 

Thank you to Ms. Daniels and all of our amazing performers at Bolton Mi Encanto yesterday!  You all did a fantastic job. It was wonderful to welcome so many guests to the building. If your child did not perform yesterday their time to shine will be in the spring show!

We will keep the fun going this week and hope you will come to the Bolton Winter Family Dance tomorrow from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. at Bolton Academy in the gym. Students, parents, and siblings are encouraged to attend. Think red carpet, lights, camera, action… the whole nine. The overall theme is red carpet, but please wear whatever you are comfortable in. From casual to fancy, we just want to have some fun. We will have great music and free snacks. Please RSVP HERE so we know how many guests to plan for. This is not a drop-off event. 

Our fifth graders will be hosting another Bake Sale to raise funds for their end-of-the-year celebrations. They will be accepting cash, Venmo and Paypal. We hope you support them and enjoy!



And finally, if you ordered food from NaanStop, please remember to pick it up today between 5 - 5:45 p.m. in the back parking lot of the school. 

Thank you!

-Shavaun Mincey, Principal

Hazel Health


January is Mental Health Awareness Month, so we will offer an online session with Hazel Health to share more about their services. Hazel Health has partnered with Atlanta Public Schools to provide access to quality health care services for all students, at no cost to families. A school health representative can initiate a video visit with a Hazel health care provider while your child is at-school to provide either physical or mental health services. Therapy sessions with Hazel Health are a safe space and are private and confidential. 

Our Hazel Health meeting will be held via Zoom on Tuesday, January 31st  from 5:30 - 6:00 p.m. and will be recorded. You can join us by logging on HERE
or by using the credentials below.
