Fulton County Open Enrollment 2012

Hello Homeowners here is some news on Fulton County open enrollments for 2012.  None of our schools will be impacted in 2012

Thanks

Frank Sheridan

May 16 is deadline for Open Enrollment applications

The Fulton County School System has identified 16 schools that can accept transfer students next school year as part of the “public school choice” legislation (H.B. 251). Approved in 2009, the law gives parents the option to choose a school outside of their attendance zone, provided it has available classroom space to accommodate transfer students.

A transfer application is available online for the following schools:

ELEMENTARY		MIDDLE
Abbotts Hill Elementary School		Paul D. West Middle School
Bethune Elementary School		Woodland Middle School
Birmingham Falls Elementary School
Crabapple Crossing Elementary School		HIGH
Findley Oaks Elementary School		Chattahoochee High School
Hamilton E. Holmes Elementary School		Creekside High School
Ison Springs Elementary School		Northview High School
Medlock Bridge Elementary School		Tri-Cities High School
Renaissance Elementary School
Shakerag Elementary School

The application deadline is Monday, May 16 at 4:30 p.m., and parents will be notified of their child’s transfer status by June 30.

Printed forms also can be picked up from six administrative locations:

·         Fulton County Schools Administrative Center (786 Cleveland Ave. SW, Atlanta)

·         Jo Wells Center (554 Parkway Drive, Hapeville)

·         Milton Center (86 School Drive, Alpharetta)

Screen on the Green: On, OFF and we're back ON!!

Oh, mother nature, you may have thought you foiled our Screen on the Green a few weeks ago but this is Lakemont and we don't give up easily!

It's back on, people, so put it on the calendar and keep your fingers crossed that the weather is suitable for family fun and movie viewing.  It will be Saturday, May 7th at dusk at Scott and Liesl Dana's (1050 Lakemont Trace) and Megamind will be the shown for your viewing pleasure.  Click here for a little Megamind teaser.

The Homeowners' Association will provide popcorn so all you need to bring is a comfy chair and your beverage of choice. So, bring the ones you love (two legged or four) and "hang with the 'hood". It's sure to be huge....dare I say "MEGA?" (bad, i know.....)

Lakemont's Newest Addition!

Baby Francis "Frank" Rane Daly arrived on Thursday, April 21st at 1:29 pm weighing 7 lb 6 oz and 20 1/2 inches. Frank is the son of Pat and GG and little brother to Maggie and Bea.
Hurry home, Frank!  We can't wait to meet you, you precious little thing!

More Backyard Beauties!

Marlene sent me a pic of her bottle tree as well as a couple of pics of some natural beauties!  

Nothing better than a blue hydrangea unless of course you then look at the 3rd picture and are quickly reminded how blessed we are to live in a neighborhood with this kind of asset.  The lake really is gorgeous!  Thanks, Marlene and Dete for sharing!

Spring bulbs or Spring bottles?

Now that the tulip bulbs have run their course, don't panic. The solution for some yard color might be as close as your next door neighbor!  Nope, not bulbs...bottles!

Bottle trees are making a come back.  Okay, I don't know that "come back" is really true but they are here and they're doing a nice job of adding color and whimsy to our outdoors.  I'm sure in some ways they are earth friendly, too!  Hello, recycled bottles.

This bottle tree is gracing the Flamer's property but from what I've heard, there are a couple of others hidden amongst us.  Send me a pic of yours and we'll add it to the collection.

Hope everyone's had a great weekend and stay tuned for some fun posts as well as updates on Screen on the Green and Lakemont dam workdays.

Test?

Lakemont,

This is a test post from our new blog, thelakemontgaggle.blogspot.com. If this makes it to your inbox, like it's supposed to, then feel free to check out our maiden post and leave a comment to let me know what you think.

Your patience in this process is appreciated while we get all the kinks worked out. Ideally, when a post is published, it will come to your inbox directly. Should you choose to linger, that's totally up to you!

Keep your fingers crossed!

Beth

And we're off!

Lakemont,

As you are all aware spring has certainly sprung and if you can stop sneezing long enough, go outside and enjoy it!  Beautiful spring blooms, lawns that are turning green before our very eyes and bare branches that are just beginning to bud with the promise of shady places to come are all around us.

We hope to use this blog to celebrate our own little slice of heaven. So if you have a bloom in your yard that is demanding attention or if your kids won't get out of the picture long enough to snap the shot you can send a picture of them too!  My email is jacquinbeth@gmail.com and I will happily include in our blog anything that is neighborhood oriented: the name of a great lawn care company, a new addition to the neighborhood (two legged or four!),  homeowner association reminders like upcoming meetings, work days, play days or general news that you feel would benefit your fellow neighbor.

As for current business:

Lakemont Homeowners' Association Dues are $150 and were due today, April 1st. Don't panic...we'll still take your money! : )

Lakemont Homeowners' Association Meeting will be April 10, 7pm in Frank and Lauren Sheridan's driveway, 535 Lakemont Court. BYOC----bring your own chair!

Screen on the Green will be reschedule for later in April. The revised date coming soon!

Work Day....if the rain kept you in last weekend, don't worry.  You'll have a chance to make it up so look for upcoming work days to be posted.

Neighborhood wide Garage Sale-May 21st

That's it for now!  Have a great weekend and let us know what you think about the blog!
