Calling All Mathematicians!!!
It’s time, once again, for Continental Math League at FAVE! Are you interested in solving challenging problems? Do you like participating in competitions? If you answered yes to either of these questions, keep reading!
If you choose to participate, you will practice independently solving math problems in a packet provided by your teacher (we suggest 5-10 practice problems per week). Then, all students who have practiced will be invited to participate in the Meet! These Meets happen during the school day at FAVE. The Math League will meet five times this school year and each student will independently solve six math problems.
Any students in grades 3-5 are invited to participate. Fourth and fifth grade students will begin competing in November, and will receive practice packets soon. Third grade students will compete beginning in January. This is a great opportunity for you to build your problem solving math skills
If you’re interested, please fill out the application in the Media Center Google Classroom. The application closes Friday, October 11, 2024. Contact Stephanie Tolentino with any questions (stolentino@csdecatur.net)

READ-A-THON RETURNS 10/14-10/18
It's almost that time of year again! Read-a-Thon is our biggest student-centered fundraising event of the year - so mark your calendars and get ready for your kids to start logging their reading minutes! Start talking to family and friends about donating for every minute your child reads in order to help raise money for our school. Information packets will be coming home with your student but can also be accessed HERE.
Walk and Roll: October 9th!
Congratulations to the 247 F.Ave students who walked, biked, and rode scooters to school this morning! They were greeted by Freddie Falcon and received glow-in-dark bracelets from Georgia Safe Routes to School. Fifth grade had more than 100 participants and held on to their title as reigning Walk & Roll champions for the month. One lucky student from each grade received a special raffle prize.
The Decatur Safety Action Plan team was also on site this morning getting feedback from students and parents on their favorite parts of walking to school and where they think our roads could be improved. It's part of the Decatur Safe Streets initiative to inform a safety action plan to help eliminate serious injury crashes and fatalities on our roadways. Students will have a chance to provide input on a banner at the school through the month of October. We encourage you to visit decaturga.com/ss4a to provide your input.
Next month's Walk & Roll will be on Wednesday, November 13. November is also Crossing Guard Appreciation Month. Stay tuned for details on how you can help thank the guards who help get our kids to and from F.Ave safely every day.
