Parent/Family Update

Dear Parents/Families,

January certainly has provided an interesting array of weather. We appreciate your support with weather-related closures, e-learning, and delay days. Hopefully we will start to see warmer weather soon.

Because of the weather, we are postponing McTeacher Night. Stay tuned for a new date.

Although February is a short month, we have many events scheduled.
  • GCSC Career Week, Feb. 2 - 6
  • PTO Meeting at TZ Feb. 2 at 4:30
  • Valentine's Day Parties, Feb. 13 in the afternoon
  • PTO Book Fair, Feb. 23 - 27 with family night on Thursday, Feb. 26
  • PTO Fundraiser Kick Off, Feb. 24

Don't forget, school is scheduled to be in session on Presidents' Day, Feb. 16 as a make up day.

In addition to these events, It is also time to start getting organized for our annual Puttin' On The Hits lip-synch show. Information on registration of teams is included in this newsletter. Thanks to Erin O'Hair for organizing this popular event!

Thank you for partnering with us!

Warmly,
Lisa Eldridge, Principal
