Winter Break and more!

As first semester comes to a close, I want to send out warm wishes for a safe holiday break.  It's been a fast but fun semester with your children.  They are talented, intelligent and kind students.  Please take time over break to enjoy each other and spend some time making memories together!  Kids enjoy "things" but they also enjoy your time without the stress and pressures of work and school.   Happy Holidays!  

Updates:  
Lost and Found-- The Lost and Found will be donated after tomorrow.  It is all clean and ready to be claimed in our commons area.  Please encourage your child to stop by and claim anything they have lost.

Holiday Family Drive-- Thank you to all of you who contributed to our Holiday Family Drive.  It is so nice to be able to share and make all of our students holidays special!

Last Day-- Tomorrow, Thursday December 22 is our last day before break.  It is also an Early Release Day so make sure you and your child know where they are going after school.  Students will return from winter break on Wednesday, January 4.

Staff and Student Competition-- We know this is a busy time of year for everyone so last year I moved away from the winter homeroom party and instead, as a school, we have a fun event.  Our LWPA and homeroom parents do a wonderful job of hosting parties for us on Halloween and again on Valentine's Day.  Tomorrow is our first staff and student competition.  Teams (students and staff on each team) will play against each other in volleyball games.  It will run from about 9:00-10:00 am. Parents are welcome to come watch if they want.   It's definitely a fun event for all!

Thanks to LWPA-- A huge thank you to our LWPA and all of our parents!  LWPA provided a holiday luncheon for our staff last week which was so yummy.  LWPA also collected money from all of you to provide wonderful Amazon gift cards to every staff member at FGC.  All of your support, time and contributions are so much appreciated by all of us.
