GREENVIEW KNOLLS-FAMILY CONNECTION
October 3, 2021
Good Morning GK Families!
Welcome October!! October is filled with lots of exciting events. This week we have PICTURE DAY, please be sure to complete your student's picture form packet or use the on-line option for Oct. 6th.
The Greenview Knolls Elementary staff and students are delighted to host this year's Maryland Home Grown School Lunch Week kick-off celebration on Oct. 7th. This event gives our students first hand knowledge about a day in the life of a farmer. Our Food Service team and local farmers are making connections to help our GKES families eat healthier. We encourage students to dress in their best Farmer outfits this Thursday in honor of our local farmers.
I shared a video below about the importance of a good night's sleep. Lack of sleep can impact a student's ability to be available for learning and regulate their emotions.
Please let us know if you need anything.
Stay strong and stay positive,
Principal Fowler
