Principal's Post
Happy April! There have been so many great things that have taken place this past month and so much to look forward to! This month we celebrated World Down Syndrome Day by rocking our socks and having a dance party in the halls. We also celebrated World Autism Awareness Day by having police officers work with the children in these program. The day culminated with the staff and students going onto the field to blow bubbles to raise awareness for autism. Below you will find information about our Kinder-Garden Growth Celebration. Please be sure to save the date! I wish you all a restful and enjoyable spring break and hope you get to make lasting memories with your loved ones.
Congratulations to our Grenloch Gardeners
The Grenloch Gardener Award is a new initiative the Principal and school counselor Lauren Krupa have developed to highlight students who show progress in various developmentally appropriate areas. The teachers and Mrs. Krupa work on these skills throughout the month.
