Birmingham Falls Awarded Gold Status
Birmingham Falls is proud to announce that we have received the Gold recognition for the Single Statewide Accountability System for highest performance on the CRCT. Only seven other schools in our system received this award and eight received Platinum, which is our goal for next year! The Gold is the highest recognition we can receive this year, with only two years of historical data available. Birmingham Falls is doing an awesome job in building the foundation of excellence for ALL! See the Fulton County webpage for more information.
Teacher of the Year and Professional of the Year Announced
We are excited to announce that the Birmingham Falls 2012-2013 Teacher of the Year is Mrs. Beth Brock of our fifth grade team! Additionally, our school’s 2012-2013 Professional of the Year is our special education teaching assistant, Mrs. Kathy Anderson. Both Mrs. Brock and Mrs. Anderson are invaluable members of our faculty and school community.
Congratulations to both of these dedicated individuals that add value to Birmingham Falls each day!

Bobcat Basket Fiesta
Mark your calendars for the PTA Bobcat Basket Fiesta! It will take place Friday, March 2nd from 4:00 to 8:00 PM. Basket coordinator names and themes are due from each class today. If your class has not submitted this information, please contact Erin Henry at erinshenry@gmail.com. Now it’s time to fill those baskets! Please donate generously and remember all donations are tax deductible as the PTA is a 501(c) charitable organization. This year, our theme is Mexican Fiesta and we are looking for items relating to the theme to help bring our event to life. If you have items you are willing to let us borrow, please contact Andrea Bartels at bartels_andrea@comcast.net. Finally, in order for our Fiesta to run smoothly, we need a minimum of two volunteers per classroom. We have asked the social room representatives to provide volunteer names to the Fiesta committee no later than February 16th. However, we are sweetening the deal! Any classroom that remits volunteer names, emails and phone numbers on or before February 9th will receive 25 basket tickets for the teacher to distribute to the students at his/her discretion. It pays to volunteer! Social room representatives can submit the information to Ashley Servine at servine1@yahoo.com. Mark your calendar now so you don’t miss this fun and exciting family fundraiser!
