M.E. Lewis Elementary School to Sponsor Fundraising Activities to Support New State-of-the- Art Playground
On Saturday, October 28, 2018, M.E. Lewis Elementary School had a booth at the 2018 Pine Tree Festival with the goal of raising funds and awareness of the #Play it Up Bullpups Campaign. The goal of the campaign is to raise money for a playground for the students of M.E. Lewis Elementary School. With the generous help and support of Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee, the M.E. Lewis Playground Project raised $440 through donations and three ticket raffle drawings of items donated; an Emerson Digital Thermostat, a lunch for 2 at Gaby’s (the Ritz-Carlton’s Reynolds Lake Oconee lakeside restaurant), and a limited-edition Atlanta Braves Yeti Cooler. Once again congratulations, to our three winners- Peggy Lewis, Mary Holsey, and Marben Bland. Thank you once again to everyone that stopped by, said hello, donated, and enjoyed the Ritz Carlton hot chocolate. A special thanks to Pre-K and Head Start for providing the tables and chairs on short notice. M.E. Lewis Elementary School would also like to give a huge thank you to the Pine Tree Festival Committee for being so accommodating; it was a true team effort of the Hancock County School District and community working collaboratively to support this effort.

If school authorities have a reason to question the appropriateness of a student’s clothing or appearance, parents or guardians will be contacted and informed of such. The school principal/site administrator will make the final determination on whether a student’s dress or appearance conflicts with these standards. (Read more)
