Bobcat Bulletin

Good Morning Parents/Guardians,

It the excitement of skate night and life, I neglected to send out the Bobcat Bulletin on Friday afternoon as usual. With that said, I was able to get a few of the photos from skate night and add them to this week's edition.

A quick plug for the rescheduled CVHS Information Night for our 8th grade GBS parents. They will review a lot of important information about requirements and expectations related to your student's high school experience. The event will be held on Thursday, 2/15 in the Lucy Hurlin Theater at 5:45 PM.

This Friday afternoon we will be having an "Afternoon of Games" for students here at GBS. The cost is $1 and refreshments will be available for purchase. It is open to all students, 5th-8th.

As always, thanks for partnering with us as we work with your students!

Sincerely,

Adam Caragher, Principal ~ GBS

Attention 8th Grade Parents/Guardians - ConVal High School is holding an information session on Thursday, February 15th at 5:45 pm in the Lucy Hurlin Theater at ConVal. They will be providing information regarding academic courses, the Applied Technology Center (ATC), athletics, student activities and more.This program is for parents and guardians only, as students will have their own information session with the HS school counselors at the middle schools the second week of February, and a tour of the high school later in the spring. Please let us know if you have any questions or need additional information.

8th grade parents please send an electronic or physical picture of your 8th grader as a toddler or baby for the end of the year celebration. I can scan the physical copy and give it right back to you or email a digital version to ekidd@conval.edu.

On Friday, February 16th, the 8th grade class will take a field trip to ConVal High School for a tour of the Applied Technology Center (ATC). The center introduces students to pathways that lead to high-paying, in-demand careers in areas such as Automotive Technology, Education, Business, Construction, Firefighting, Digital Photography, Manufacturing, and more. Students will also participate in a Career Fair, where they can talk to representatives from fields such as Natural Resources/Agriculture, Health and Human Services, Industrial and Engineering Technology, Business Management, and Arts and Communication. We will leave GBS at 8:15 am and return by 10:45 am. They will travel by bus, and there is no cost for this trip. Permission slips and health forms were handed out to students. Please complete and return them to Laura Gourlay by Friday February 9th. Thank you!
