Thank you to Chantele and others for helping to plan and organize our February 9th Gatewood Community Reading Event. The day includes guest readers, music, and food for the adults. Be sure to sign up for readers for your students and class.
Tuesday, January 30, 2018
I will be out of the building tomorrow, January 30, 2018. I'll be attending the Superintendent's Leadership Meeting from 8:00-12:00 then I was asked to represent the Superintendent at a Minnesota Department of Education meeting from 1:00-4:30.
Shadow a Student Challenge
I'll be participating in the Shadow a Student Challenge again this year. I've selected Thursday, February 22, 2018, as the day to spend shadowing one of our students. Kristi will help me again to randomly select a student to shadow that day. Last year I enjoyed shadowing a second grader and spending the day in Mr. Ike's room.
Thank you for Supporting the Apex Fun Run Fundraiser
Thank you for supporting the Apex Fun Run Fundraiser. Students and staff looked like they were having fun last Friday running the laps in support of the Fun Run. A-Game Amber said that we reached the goal set by the PTO. Thank you for helping make this event a success.
