Dear Parents and Community Members,
Yesterday, our wifi was down and we had a technology free day. Students were up to the challenge of using paper, pencil and white boards. It was a productive day even though our use of technology was limited. Today, we were up and running! I hope you all have a great weekend.
Sincerely,
Tracy Keilty

CINCO DE MAYO PARTY TO BENEFIT WAMOGO STUDENTS
"This summer, a group of Wamogo High School students will be going to Mexico through Operation Wallacea, a British organization that runs scientific research trips for teens around the world. The first week of the trip they will be spent exploring the Silva Maya on the Yucatan Peninsula, with an emphasis on studying wildlife biodiversity. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to scuba dive while in Akumal, where they will collect data on sea turtle migrations. Proceeds from the Cinco de Mayo dinner will help the group cover the costs of this amazing trip!

BOX TOPS
Good Morning!
Please continue to clip Box Tops off your favorite products! Ten cents doesn't sound like much but they add up fast and help the PTO provide Enrichment opportunities for GCS students. If possible, ask other family members, co-workers and neighbors to collect them as well. This is a quick reminder that at the end of each month the classroom that has collected the most Box Topsgets a prize. See the below attachment for a list of products that have Box Tops on their labels.
A big thank you to our BTFE coordinators, Heike Robillard and Chrissy Steward.
Thank you!
