Principal's Message
We are very excited about welcoming families back to our annual Thanksgiving Luncheon! Our luncheon is scheduled for Wednesday, November 15th. Please note that lunch times have been modified for this event, and the details of this modified lunch schedule were shared previously in the Thursday Folders. For families who have never attended a GBW Thanksgiving Luncheon- this is a special opportunity where we invite parents / guardians to come and join your children for a Thanksgiving Lunch in our cafeteria. Families will also have a unique opportunity to make a quick stop during school hours to visit to our Book Fair at the end of their lunch time. More details about this event are below in this News You Choose email.
Inside the Classroom (PE)
Students in grades 4th, 5th, and 6th have now finished up their fitness testing units and have begun their throwing and catching units. Students are working to demonstrate progression in the use of all critical elements; in small-sided games, modified sports activities, and lifetime activities for overhand and underhand throwing. While students in K-3 are working on the critical elements of rolling, the underhand toss and overhand throw, as well as catching different objects. Thank you Mr. Crede and Mr. Conner for helping our students to develop their hand and eye coordination with such fun and engaging games and activities!
