Reading Olympics
Join us for Reading Olympics!
Gwynedd Square’s Reading Olympic teams are forming now! We will be participating in the Montgomery County Reading Olympics held in March (details and dates to follow). The purpose of Reading Olympics is to enjoy reading good books while working together as a team to compete in the event. Participants are asked to read a required number of books and meet with the team two mornings a month.
We are inviting all 5th and 6th graders to join us for a meeting on Thursday, November 30th at 8:30 in the library to learn more. You can learn about Reading Olympics and decide if you would like to join one of Gwynedd Square’s teams. Please help us add another blue ribbon to our collection.
We hope to see you there!!!!

Donations
KEYSTONE GREEN DONATION BIN
Keystone Green collects clothes and shoes from the collection bin on a monthly basis. Donations are then sent to local nonprofits and the balance is sent and reused in developing countries.
By donating to Keystone Green your used clothes stay out of landfills.
Help protect the planet and raise money for our school! Please bag or box all donations and place them inside the bin.
Look for the red collection bin on the left side of the school near the loading dock.
Lost and Found
Our Tables are piling up!😄
We currently have a large amount of lost and found items in the cafeteria. Please have your student stop by and see if anything belongs to them or you may call the office if you would like to schedule a time to take a look for missing items.
We will be donating everything to our Keystone Green bin out by the loading docks before we close over winter break. Nothing will be saved after December 22nd.
