We hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving Break! That it was filled with a little bit of fun and little bit of rest. We are truly grateful for our Gator Community, for the support of our parents, our school administrators and teachers, and for the opportunity to serve and strive to make every child's potential a reality. We only have a couple weeks until the end of the term and Holiday Break. Scroll through to see what is happening between now and then.

GRE Parents have a wonderful opportunity this year to volunteer in our Kinder, 1st, and 2nd grade classrooms as Classroom Readers! The K-2nd teachers have come up with two or three 40-min slots each week that a parent/grandparent/aunt/uncle/friend (anyone Voly approved) can read with a small group of students in their class. As we all know, reading is incredibly important. Mrs. Kenely and the K-2nd teachers wanted to make sure that GRE kids get lots of extra opportunities for reading practice.

Below is the sign-up for available slots. This will run through Dec 8th and then we will have a new sign-up for the Spring.

A few notes:
-Volunteers can sign up for multiple slots.
-Volunteers can sign up for ANY classroom! In fact, if you have the available time, consider volunteering in a class that needs readers, even if it is not your child's class.
-Please check-in to the Front Office 10 min before your time slot.
-All volunteers MUST be VOLY background check approved. You can do that here: https://lewisvilleisd.voly.org
