GISH GLIMPSE
I Behave As Though This Is The Day I Will Be Remembered For.
Principal's Message - December 2020
Welcome to December... already. What a paradox: how can the beginning of this school year seem so long ago, yet it feels like time is flying by so quickly! It has been a productive first three months! We are happy to report that positive cases of COVID-19 at Gish School have dropped significantly. We have been busy with updates for our parents and in this case, no news is indeed, GOOD NEWS! As of now, we have no new cases and no classes are isolating.
Junior High students are learning online already and elementary students will join them for the first week in January, after the Christmas Break. Stay tuned for Wellness Wednesday on the morning of January 6th. Please be reminded that with our Staff meeting on Wednesday afternoon, there will be no online learning for students from 12:05-2:32pm.
Now, during the Christmas Break, and forever after, please read with your children! Research proves time and again that the single best way to improve student success in ALL subjects is simply by READING. Both fiction and non-fiction material are important! Studying and reviewing specific curriculum is also necessary, but general reading provides so many advantages. PLEASE support their learning by spending time with your children by reading with them, especially at bed time!
We sure appreciate everything that individual students and families are doing to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Please continue to wear masks, sanitize, and keep your distance. It is very important to remember that in order to come to school, ALL attendees must be healthy and symptom-free.
Leadership opportunities continue to be incorporated into activities at Gish School. We believe that every Gish citizen is a leader! Thanks to our hardworking student and staff leadership teams. Thank you for the support and Food Bank contributions. We are proud to report that we have over $1000 in monetary donations, and over three truckloads of food to deliver. Keep up the outstanding effort.
We continue to host nearly 830 students at Gish School, and take pride in offering a very safe and caring educational environment for students. We are already planning for next year at all grades – especially Kindergarten! Please tell your friends and neighbours about all the benefits of E. S. Gish Elementary / Junior High School. Thank-you for your continued support.
