GIVE-A-THON LETTER FROM MR. LOCKWOOD
Our annual PTSO Gator Give-A-Thon kicks off Monday February 10th. This year our theme will be Disney! During this time we will be holding daily short student pep assemblies to introduce the Give-A-Thon and get Gators engaged and excited for this lively time of year. We will also deliver progress updates as to how each class is moving toward the fundraising goals. We are looking forward to some awesome things in the next few weeks. Please click the button below to check out a letter from Mr. Lockwood with more details!
VALENTINE's EXPECTATIONS!
As we approach Valentine's Day, our teachers have noticed and want to bring attention to the potential pressures students may face regarding finding a Valentine or experiencing rejection. This can be uncomfortable, upsetting, or distracting for them. We encourage parents to support their children in understanding how these trends can hurt students feelings. Additionally, please be aware of any group chats that your child may be participating in outside of school, as these can also impact their social interactions and well-being.
Thank you for your attention to these matters.
HIDDEN MICKEYS!
In the days leading up to our Give-a-Thon, we'll be hiding Hidden Mickeys around the school a few times a week. Tell your Gator to keep their eyes peeled because if they find one, they can bring it to the front office for a small prize!
DISTRICT ORATORICAL CONTEST!
Congrats to our Gators Eleanor M. and Lizzy L. As they participating in the District Oratorical contest. They are both incredible speakers and we could not be more proud of them!
GILBERT CITIZEN OF THE MONTH!
Congratulations to Quinn L. as she was chosen as Gilbert’s Citizen of the month for Greenfield El. We are super proud of you Quinn. Keep being awesome!

MESSAGE FROM NURSE SUZY!
Recall info:
In case you missed it, Cal Yee Farms has had a recall for their chocolate products and these products have been sold in AZ. The recall includes dark chocolate almonds, apricots and walnuts because these products contain undeclared milk. Just an FYI
