Grundy Ave Newsletter
Resources For at Home Fun and Learning!
Dear Grundy Families;
The staff and I have put together some fun activities that you and the family can participate in as we navigate this pandemic. These are fun, optional things to do as you are home. Please also know that all updates related to COVID-19 and messages from the school are posted on the Sachem web page which can be found here. As of now, school is closed until March 30th, 2020. Know this can change so keep checking the Sachem home page for the latest updates.
Grundy will be a Grab-n-Go food point and for the next two weeks, breakfast and lunch will be served from 11:00-1:00 Monday through Friday. You just need to show up to receive food. If you need anything else, please email me.
Wishing you all the very best during this difficult time.
Be well,
Mrs. Amato
