Gator News!

Hi Ganiard Families!

We had a great week at Ganiard! Students are settling into our routines and doing a nice job working hard academically. Soon, we will start our only school-wide fundraiser of the year! Next week we will send home information about our Walk-A-Thon - please be on the lookout! Students will have the opportunity to pie me if they collect 50 dollars!

Don't forget! We have picture day on Wednesday!

Have a great weekend!

Each week, we do a couple of "Gator" pulls. If a student is selected, they come down to the office for a special prize! Here are this week's winners!

Did you know they still do Box Tops?! When I was a kid, we turned in the box tops into the school office. They have turned the process digital and there is money available for our school community! All you have to do is download the app and connect to Ganiard Elementary. After you go grocery shopping, you just need to take a picture of your receipt and the Box Tops money get's sent to Ganiard! No cost to you or your family. Please consider downloading the app and getting started today! There is a referral code on the picture below for some bonus box tops as well!

Our staff loves to hear words of affirmation. Please give them a SHOUT OUT! They will receive your note and get some recognition for their work!

Our first graders earned an extra recess for their amazing attendance in August! Be on the lookout for my attendance incentives!

Ganiard will have two preschool classrooms this year. Both rooms are 5 days a week! If you know someone who is interested, please have them reach out to Ganiard's school office!

Here is out CKH theme of September -- EMPATHY!

Popcorn Friday needs you! Each month, a different grade level will provide volunteers to help make Popcorn Friday possible. October is 2nd grade's turn!

We're excited to provide a delicious potluck meal for our teachers and staff during parent-teacher conferences! If you are interested in providing a meal, please click here.

Do the Right Thing, Even if it's Hard!

Doing the right thing, even if it is hard. Do the right thing, even when no one is watching. Do the Right thing, because it is the right thing to do. Stop, Think, Do. If you would not do it in front of someone you care about, don’t do it.
