Garden Road Parent Weekly #7
A Leader In Me School - 9/9/22
Dear Families:
Leader in Me is up and running at Garden Road! Please take a moment to talk to your child about the Leader in Me. Do they know the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People? What is their class mission statement? Do they have a special job in their class? Do they know the school's Wildly Important Goal?
If you can, we'd love to have you join our counselor Katie MacLeod for her special 7 Habits for Highly Effective Families workshop next Wednesday (see info below)!
Upcoming Events:
- Running Club starts Monday 9/12
- 9/12 @ 6:30pm: GRES Foundation meeting - email foundation.gres@gmail.com for more info!
- Week of 9/12-9/16: Lunch with A Special Person Week (Garden Road is inviting family members, friends, or anyone who is special to your child to join them for lunch! We ask that no more than 2 people come at a time per family. Lunch schedule below).
- 6/14: First session of our FREE Parent workshop: 7 Habits for Highly Effective Families with Katie MacLeod. Come learn the same habits we teach your children.See below for more details.
- 9/19: Non student day: PUSD Professional Growth Day for teachers and staff
Have a nice weekend!

FREE Parenting Workshops-Leader in Me
Last year we covered all 7 habits in 3 sessions, and all the participants agreed that they would like to take it more slowly. We have changed the timing accordingly. Each month we will cover a new habit, starting this month with a general overview.
Please join us for this worthwhile presentation! Coffee will be served at 7:45. (The previous advertising incorrectly listed the meeting dates as Tuesday)
Feel free to attend each month, or to drop in when you are available. Come, meet some new friends, enjoy a cup of coffee and learn these wonderful strategies.
Running Club starts next week, September 12th!
Please contact Bethany Wilde at bethanymwilde@gmail.com to volunteer to scan badges and cheer on the kids.
We are excited to see everyone on the track!

More than a Meal Application - Please Help Our Students!
Did you know that although these meals are available to students, it is important that families still complete applications for free and reduced-price meals? Free and reduced-price meal eligibility is a key factor in determining district funding for important programs for our students.
Please consider applying for free and reduced-price meal eligibility for this school year and help our district and school receive necessary funding. You can apply at More Than a Meal or pick up the paper application available in our school office.
Thank you Impact Martial Arts!
Thank you to Impact Martial Arts for their short demonstration at Friday Flag with the message "Be Proactive!"
