Next Week Spirit Week
Hello Graebner Families,
We are excited to bring back our Graebner Spirit Week. We have made a few adjustments so that we can participate remotely.
Ms. Noechel's Morning Announcements Crew will present the information to the students in our WKEYS Broadcast. The teachers will be taking some screenshots of the classes that participate in the daily Spirit Week events. The WKEYS Crew will then create a slideshow for one of the January Graebner Morning Announcements. Also a few of the images may be included in future Dolphin Dispatches. Be assured that our staff will be monitoring media release protocol while submitting classroom photographs.
Here is a sneak peek at our Graebner Spirit Week schedule:
12.14 = Hat Day
12.15 = Graebner Spirit Wear and Blue & White Day
12.16 = Crazy Hair Day
12.17 = Pajama Day
12.18 = Ugly Christmas Sweater Day
Of course, family participation is optional. We look forward to celebrating our Graebner Team Spirit with this fun-filled activity.
HALF DAY DISMISSAL TIME IS 11:00 AM (DEC 21 & 22) FOR ALL STUDENTS INCUDING VA CLASSES.
A Word from the GPTO

Let's thank our Graebner Staff for going above and beyond this school year so far by taking care of our children's emotional and educational needs. This time of year as parents we especially like to shower them with praise and gifts. We have asked the staff to answer some questions to find out more about them, their likes and needs. Go to www.graebnerpto.com/staffappreciation to find a staff member you'd like to gift.
Finally, the PTO still has expenses and needs even if we are remote. Our can/bottle return drive has been helping little by little and we are still collecting. So please, if you have bottles and cans that you want to donate, please email us at gptoboard@gmail.com to arrange a pickup or drop off.
