Gage Community School Connection
March 24, 2017 Edition
Barnes & Noble Bookfair
Join us this Thursday 5:00-7:00!
After the walk, join us for a community meal in the cafeteria! This free meal will include diced chicken with a sweet sauce over rice, peas and carrots, a dinner roll, and lemonade! Most of the night will be dedicated to good food and conversation with our neighbors, but we will have a short program from 6:00-6:30 to give some updates about our community school work this year!
Lunch/Recess Supports!
At lunch, we’d love some adults who would be interested in supporting students with conversations and relationship-building. Adults could bring a lunch along, purchase one on-site, or just enjoy our kids! (11:35-12:45 – though we’d accept help during any portion)
On the playground, we’re looking for adults who would be interested in supporting students’ play. We could provide you with the rules to some of our playground games for you to lead or you could just enjoy being a kid again! (11:55-1:05 – though we’d accept help during any portion)
Please let us know if you might be interested in either of these opportunities. We’ll hold information sessions in the near future for anyone interested. If you have questions now, please contact Jessica Marquardt – 507-328-3389 or jemarquardt1@rochester.k12.mn.us.
