MIDDLE SCHOOL VISITS FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS
ATHLETIC BOOSTERS MONTHLY MEETING
Parent and student volunteers are needed for information sessions about Maggie Walker. Prospective parents and students enjoy getting to know the real scoop on MLWGS that only you can provide. As a middle school parent or student volunteer recruiter, your job is to arrive on time, support the MLWGS administrator on site, and help answer questions during the visit. Students can receive community service hours for volunteering!
Note: Richmond schools are scheduled during the day this year at the schools' request; only administrators will participate.
The Maggie L. Walker Athletic Boosters Club will hold a monthly Board Meeting at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 2, in room 105. Board Officers and Directors are expected to attend. All Athletic Boosters members and anyone interested in becoming involved with Athletic Boosters are welcome to attend. Anyone with questions may contact Athletic Boosters President Rich Schweiker at dukeschweikers@aol.com.
THE 22nd ANNUAL FALL FESTIVAL!
The 22nd annual MLWGS Fall Festival is scheduled for October 5, 2018. Each year, the PTSA puts on this exciting event which brings together MLWGS student clubs for an array of food, entertainment, and fun. In addition, parents and members of the community can support our student organizations by serving as a sponsor.
Sponsorships are available at the Silver ($250) and Gold ($500) levels. In recognition of your support, your company and business logos will be listed on the corporate sponsorship banner which is prominently featured at the festival. Additionally, all corporate sponsors can have a table at the festival should they wish to display and provide information on their company and services.
To become a sponsor or for more information email Kathleen Staley
The Maggie L. Walker Governor's School annual Fall Festival is a fantastic event for the whole school and the surrounding community. The festival is a great event with delicious food and live student performances. All proceeds raised benefit the participating student groups and help fund their activities for the year. It takes scores of parent volunteers to work before, during, and after to make this tradition a success year after year. Please sign up for a shift or two and assist us by lending items that we need, if you have them. Thanks so much for your help!

As of September 21, 2018, the Foundation has raised $51,644 toward our 2018-19 goal of $350,000. We're happy to report that we have spent $48,185 on enhancements for the school since July 1. This includes providing funding for professional development and continuing education for 22 faculty members, $6,851 to support Dragons in financial need*, and offsetting class or club-related travel costs for 90 students- and we are just getting started! Support from current parents is a big part of what allows us to help make MLWGS a better place to teach and to learn. You can make a gift here. Thank you to everyone who has donated already! We could not do it without you.
*If you believe your student could benefit from student aid funding, please contact Dr. Wendy Ellis to discuss confidentially.

THERAPY DOGS ARE COMING BACK!
Therapy dogs and their handlers visited our school last spring during Stress Less, Laugh More Week. The dogs were a very popular attraction and a number of students requested a second visit. We were able to accommodate that with the support of Caring Canines and our administration. The therapy dogs will visit our school on October 26 during lunch. Permission forms signed by parents will be required in order to access the dogs. Look for those in mid-October. Questions? Call Lisa Ebeling, School Psychologist, x 3260 or email lebeling@gsgis.k12.va.us
