The Welcome New Kindergarten Families newsletter is a special edition newsletter for any families with an incoming Kindergarten student that will be joining us next year. This newsletter provides the information and links needed to successfully register, make plans, and start getting involved with the school. Please feel free to share the Kinder newsletter with any families with a Kindergarten age child who may not have heard about Kindergarten registration.

Character Trait of the Month: Courage

March's Character Trait of the Month is courage. Courage is being afraid and doing it anyway. It takes a lot of courage these days for students to learn to be bold and be brave. Let’s find ways to teach our kids to be Courageous, they learn by example. If you need resources please reach out to PAC Volunteer Coordinator Melissa Horton at gmpschorton@gmail.com.
