Author Visit from Stuart Gibbs
On Tuesday afternoon, the PTA hosted an author visit from Mr. Stuart Gibbs. Mr. Gibbs shared his journey as a writer and author with our students in grades 3-6. He shared many insights and tips for successful writing. The students were thrilled to listen more about some of their favorite books and characters. Mr. Gibbs stayed for numerous book signings as well!
A BIG Thank you to our PTA for organizing this successful event!
Back in 2021, one of our teachers named Hope Pregozen lost her life to COVID during the pandemic. We have been working with the FCPS school board to help dedicate our adapted playground to Hope in honor of the work she did to serve our students with disabilities. We will be hosting a special dedication ceremony on Friday, April 26th to dedicate our playground to Hope Pregozen, and we have invited members of Hope's family to be present for the ceremony. Our hope is our GBW families will also come out to help us properly dedicate this playground to Hope Pregozen. We will have a reception following the ceremony. Families are invited to help us celebrate the contributions of Hope Pregozen to our GBW community at this event. After the brief dedication ceremony, we will open up the playground for children to play on while we invite families to stay and enjoy the new addition to our community.

Spring SOL Testing Schedule
As we approach the month of May, we want to remind everyone about the upcoming SOL (Standards of Learning) testing for our Pandas. These assessments provide valuable insights into their progress and areas for growth.
Here are the testing dates for each grade level:
We encourage families to ensure that students are on time on the days of their testing. If you know your child is going to be late or absent on a testing date, please let their teacher know as soon as possible.
Let's rally together as a community to support our students as they tackle the SOL tests. Together, we can help them succeed and reach their full potential. Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our schools.
Best wishes to all students participating in the SOL testing!
If you have any questions please reach out and let us know,
