Glen Acres Elementary School
December 15, 2019
Dear Families,
Our GAE band and orchestra members put on a fabulous concert at East High School with their Exton Elementary School peers. Thank you to Mr. Fuette and Mr. Binkley for teaching our students and thank you to Ms. Krasley for participating in the show to make it extra special! We are so proud of our students for their hard work and excellent performance.
We have more holiday cheer coming. This week our choral members will put on a show with our GAE teachers. Our students love when our teachers join them in entertaining our school community. Please see the schedule below.
At the end of the week, the students will have a winter party in their classrooms. Thank you to the parent volunteers for planning them. We have optional holiday dress up this week. Please see the schedule below.
We have been picking names out of our Eagle Egg reward bins for students to earn rewards. We have been having fun announcing student names and rewarding good behavior. This week we are going to surprise the students with a game that all of the students will play for fun.
On behalf of our entire staff, we wish you a Happy Holiday season and a Happy New Year!
Donna
Writers' Day
Pictured below is kindergarten enjoying Mr. Thayer , the author of the Kobee Manatee, Mr. Thayer introduced the students to his books, manatees, and led them in song. In addition, please find below, Cindy McCord, singer/songwriter and music educator leading Mrs. Conklin's class in writing a song. When I walked in the room to visit, I learned that the students were writing a song about me! The students were so excited to make me smile and give me my wonderful gift.
