GJPS Preschool Weekly Update

If your family is need of assistance with food or gifts this holiday season (e.g., coats, clothes, shoes, toys, etc.), please reach out to Missy Grimmett at grimmettm@gjps.org to gather further information about your specific needs (sizes, interests, etc.). Your family will remain anonymous.

Throughout the school year, there are many different dates that are established to celebrate each of our amazing staff members that help the daily operations at our preschool program. Some of these include; custodians day, secretaries day, occupational therapy day, teacher appreciation week, school psychologist, paraprofessional day, etc.

Our Parent/Guardian Advisory Committee would like to host a celebratory luncheon on January 2, 2024 during the professional development day to honor all of these individuals at one time when they will be together.

Thank you for your support with helping us celebrate each of these staff members.

Dear Families,

As we continue our theme of “Compare and Contrast”, this week children will compare and contrast stories with plots that are alike. They will enjoy discovering and pointing out the differences as well.

This week’s Family Connections activities can be found at https://portal2.frogstreet.com/connections/?bookname=ENG_FC_T4_W2.

This week’s storybook, “Three Little Grasshoppers” can be found at https://portal2.frogstreet.com/ebook/?bookname=FS20116_ThreeLittleGRasshoppers_eBook.

The Heart and Pride Award recognizes two outstanding staff members each month who make a profound impact on our students and Gahanna-Jefferson Public Schools.

The Heart & Pride Nomination Form will remain available year-round and is open to any member of our staff, regardless of position.

Each month, we are looking for family volunteers to shine some kindness through small treats/kind gestures with our staff at Goshen Lane Prechool and Clark Hall Preschool. This could be cookies, donuts, coffee etc. The kindness carts will take place the last Friday of each month.
