The sixth grade loved their dirty soda bar prize, won by having the highest percentage of donations per student to The Generals Fund this fall. Thanks to all who donated! Your donations are already at work! Plans for a tree-planting date are in the works, and we have concrete plans under review for a new shade! Look for more details on both projects soon!

A message from Moms Thrive:

Moms Thrive is a Nashville area organization creating small community groups for moms all over our area. The goal is to bring together individual school communities of moms wanting to meet other moms experiencing the same season of life. We are trying to reignite the Grassland area Moms Thrive. This is a great way to meet other moms from our community hear speakers, have a hot cup of coffee and enjoy new friendships while learning ways to support our kids as they age.

We gather at 9 a.m. for connection and coffee and then listen to a speaker talk on topics important to moms. If you have drop-off for littles, don't worry about arriving a little late, we'd love to have you join us! Our first meeting we will hear from Jennifer Scoggins of Elevate Moms, who will speak about Repair After Rupture in Relationships. I think all moms can relate to that topic, especially as we head into the holiday season.

Our first meeting is Friday, November 6, at 9 a.m. at the Cottonwood Clubhouse: 180 Cottonwood Dr, Franklin, TN 37069. Grab a friend to join you; no need to RSVP, but it does help with food & coffee! We'll provide the hot coffee and snacks. Please RSVP at this link.
