THE ELF SHELF REMINDER
The Elf Shelf is for the younger students to come shop for their parents,
grandparents, siblings and even their doggies.
This gives them a chance to buy gifts for their loved ones.
We even wrap their gifts for them!
This year we have a variety of items: socks, ornaments,
Bath & Body Works lotion and hand sanitizer, travel mugs, some small
toys, notepads, Christmas pens & pencils, doggie gift bags
(filled with dog biscuits), etc.
Gifts are very low priced and most are around $6.
Open Mon-Fri from 7:30 to 10:00 in the Elementary Art Room.
Reminder to FRA parents:
Friday, December 19 is the last day of school before the Christmas
break. Please remember that this is a half day for students and
dismissal will be at 11:30. High School school students will be able to
leave after they have finished final exams on Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday. There will be no breakfast break for middle school and
high school students on Friday, and no lunch will be served.
May each of you have a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year
The first day of school for 2015 is Tuesday, January 6.

Dear Parents of Flint River Academy Students,
Did you know that you can redirect your Georgia Tax dollars to
Flint River Academy to directly support our student’s education?
A single individual can contribute up to $1000 per year, a married
couple can contribute up to $2500 per year, and a C-corp or
eligible Trust can contribute up to 75% or their GA Tax Liability.
This is better than a tax deduction because this tax credit will give you a
dollar-for-dollar reduction in the amount you owe in Georgia taxes.
You can do this by submitting completing the application for Apogee
at the following web address: www.apogee123.org.
Additional information is available in the main school office.
The deadline for submitting an application is midnight on December 31.
You will have until the end of March to pay the credit to the State of
Georgia and in return you will receive a voucher to use for the tax year
2015. The money contributed for Flint River Academy will then be used
to provide financial assistance for some of our students.
Please consider helping our school and by doing so you will receive
a state tax credit.
Thank you,
Eddie Pollard, Head of School
Lots of us use Amazon weekly.
Why not use Amazon, and let
FRA benefit? Thats right, you can
shop on Amazon just like normal,
and they will donate .05% of your
total purchase to FRA.
