To Parents of 9th Graders,
I wanted to make you aware of a leadership opportunity that is coming up specifically for 9th-grade students. “Y” Cabinet elections for four 9th-grade representatives will be held on Monday, November 17. There are a few important steps your student must complete in order to place their name on the ballot.
To run for election, students must:
Complete a questionnaire via Google Forms. The link to the form was emailed to them from tinman@darlingtonschool.org on November 10, 2025.
See Mrs. Cornwell in the Student Center after submitting the Google Form to receive a paper form for collecting signatures from their 9th-grade classmates in support of their candidacy.
Return the completed signature form (with 20 signatures) to Mrs. Cornwell by Friday, November 14, 2025, no later than the end of office hours (10:25 a.m.).
More detailed information can be found in the email sent to them and within the questionnaire itself. Please encourage your student to reach out to our President, Gracie Cowan, Vice President, Henry Ledbetter, or Tara Inman, Dean of Community Life with any questions.
The 3rd-8th grade Service Club will meet Wednesday, November 12 at 3:30-4:00 in the library. We will work on the Backpack Buddy project. Hope to see you there!
Our Backpack Buddies Food Drive is still going strong, but we still have a ways to go to reach our goal of 2,000 food items. Thanks to those that have already contributed!
This program helps provide weekend meals for more than 2,000 children in Floyd, Polk, Gordon, Chattooga, and Bartow Counties who face food insecurity. Because of funding delays, the food bank may run out of supplies by December, and our Service Committee wants to help restock the shelves for January.
Remember what to bring:
Pre-K & Kindergarten: instant oatmeal packets, small cereal boxes or cups, or Pop-Tarts
1st & 2nd Grade: applesauce and fruit cups
3rd–8th Grade: kid-friendly canned meals, macaroni and cheese, or ramen noodles
Every item makes a difference—let’s keep those donations coming and help feed children in our community!
All returning players and anyone interested in learning more about lacrosse are invited to a meeting on Thursday, Nov. 13, during Club Period in Coach Leezer’s room (K-2).
We’ll review important details for the upcoming season, including the game schedule, a two-game trip to Savannah (with a beach house stay!), team gloves, and jackets.
Snacks will be provided, and the meeting will last about 20 minutes. Email Coach Leezer with questions bleezer@darlingtonschool.org. Come see what lacrosse has to offer!

Ready to get “goosed”?
The Library is launching a fun new reading challenge for our Pre-K– to 2 students: Duck, Duck, Goose!
Just fill in a duck for every book read — that includes books read to students at home or in class! When a student has read 15 books, they’ll earn a special prize: their very own rubber ducky! Students can even complete the challenge more than once to earn multiple ducks. If 10 or more students in a class finish the challenge, their teacher will win a special Goose Trophy!
This program will run through December 12. If you have any questions, please feel free to email Mary Kate Fowee at mfowee@darlingtonschool.org.
Thank you for your support & Happy Reading!
