Happy 2022 SGCS families!
After the longest Christmas break ever, January has flown by. We held our Battle of the Books and the Spelling Bee. Some of our classes got a preview of Native Youth Olympics, talk about tremendous core strength! Students and staff alike are appreciating the return to some of our normal activities.
As you are all well aware by now, we have implemented a 'Test to Stay' protocol. It is a great way to keep as many students in school as possible. A sincere thank you to all of our families who have been patient and graceful during this ongoing pandemic!
As the light slowly but surely returns, I am hopeful for a bright and healthy spring!
