Grandparents Lunch is coming up on Friday, November 16. Let them know that the Book Fair will be going on this Friday so they can stay to shop for holiday gifts!
Thanks for your Service!
A special thanks to all of the families that extended an invitation to their Veteran for the assembly last Wednesday. With over 40 Veterans attending the event, the Corinth community was able to see and hear from true heroes that have served our country. Thank you also to all that created a poster - they have decorated the halls and show Corinth's pride for our country. This event was made possible by the PTA - thank you to Rick Cherra, Lindsay Peattie, Jeff Stewart, and Dan Tyler for all you did to make this event a success.
Have a great week!
Leanne Beezley
PTA President

The book fair is also going on next week and will be open late on Wednesday. So support the Corinth PTA, buy some books, and then head over the SPIN! for dinner!
You must mention Corinth, show the
flyer, or show SPIN! Pizza PV's Facebook post to count toward Corinth's total amount raised. SPIN! will donate 20% of this amount to the Corinth PTA!
Tag SPIN! on social media (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, @spinpizza and #spinpizza) and SPIN! will be happy to engage with your posts to amplify them to our audience and guests.

2019 Corinth Auction
The Corinth Auction relies on donations to make it successful. While we have a donations committee that is busy at work contacting local companies and filling out online forms to gather as many donations as possible - we also need YOUR help! Take a look at
this flyer to see what we are looking for and be sure to fill it out and return to the Corinth office if you have something to contribute. Have other ideas not listed - write them in!! Did we also mention that all donations are tax deductible and all funds raised go back to support programs at Corinth that YOUR kiddo will benefit from!
