Kindness Week at GMS
Student Council Presents… Gregory Kindness Week! April 23-27: Help Student
Council spread kindness by purchasing Kindness Grams. Students can write a kind
note to a friend, all while helping a worthy cause. All proceeds will support Random Acts, an organization that helps to fund random acts of kindness, such as disaster relief efforts and aid in third world countries. It is our hope that Gregory’s Kindness Week inspires GMS to spread kindness on Saturday, April 28th in honor of Pay It Forward Day. This global initiative aims to make a difference by creating a huge ripple of kindness felt across the world. We want YOU to be a part of this event too! Remind your child to “pay it forward” on the 28th. Student Council thanks you for helping us spread kindness at GMS and in our community!
Color Run Success!
A big thank you to all the participants, volunteers, and staff who helped make the PTA’s first annual Color Run a great event! The weather was beautiful, and almost 100 kids showed up to run, eat, play, and have a great time! Plus the PTA raised over $1,200 that will be used for educational enhancements during the next school year! Thank you all!

Power of Choice for April
Social Media: Parent’s Responsibility
It seems technology is changing every day. Our kids are often way ahead of us on that learning curve, so it’s imperative that we keep aware and alert. Our children need for us to set the boundaries that will keep them safe as they venture into this new and exciting world. Use this month’s Parents Use Your Power newsletter to get started.
Social media and electronic communication are powerful tools and like any powerful tool, they can be very useful, but they can also be misused. Use this month’s PowerTalk to explore your child’s understanding and use of technology and social media and help them become responsible Cyber Citizens.
