Happenings

Dear Families, 

In order to bring you inside our school to see what our pandas are up to each week, we are happy to present to you GBW Happenings! This weekly slideshow will house pictures from different classes, events, and programs throughout the week. We hope you enjoy!

This was a very bust week for students. From celebrating the 100th day of school, dancing the night away at the iHeart Panda Dance, to catching some rays while catching up on some reading, our pandas have a lot to be proud of! Check out more pictures from our week here!

Spotlight on Learning:
POG sticker Contest

Calling all GBW artists! All students are invited to participate in a Chantilly Pyramid Sticker Design Contest, where they will design a sticker that represents a skill from their favorite Portrait of a Graduate attribute.

In March, students and teachers will vote for their favorite designs. The winning designs will be printed and distributed at our Chantilly Pyramid Spotlight on Learning event, on April 25th.
