CG Family,

Gratitude & empathy are the two character traits we are focused on rolling into February. There are fun family events coming up this semester starting with our family game night. Details for this event are below.

In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is 'What are you doing for others?'

Jackets, Jackets, Jackets

We have had many jackets in our cafeteria for months. Whatever is left in the cafeteria on February 9 will be donated to Chrissy's Closet. Please encourage your student to look through them if they are missing one (we have been giving the same encouragement at school). February 8 is Game Night-they will be up, so if you come to Game Night, go through the rack with your kiddo(s) and grab their jacket(s).
