RAD ROBOTS
Garnet Valley is excited to announce that it has partnered with Rad Robots!
With an anticipated start date of early October, this partnership will provide elementary students 1st Grade – 5th Grade a unique opportunity to experience more coding and robotics. Parents register for 1, 2, 3, or 4 (four-week sessions). They can register for all 4 sessions at a time or before the beginning of each session. Each four-week session is $75. Each club has a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 12 participants. After the first 16 weeks teachers can choose to run another 16 weeks (or 12 depending on time) if there is additional interest. Parents will register on the RadRobot webpage http://radrobots.net/. Most teachers are planning on starting the first session the first week of October. Our CES Teachers will be Kristen Crans for 1st Graders and Cathie Brodsky for 2nd Graders.

Garnet Valley CTC Quick Tip #3
Did you know? An important finding from last two PAYS, Pennsylvania Youth Surveys, was the level of attachment that Garnet Valley students have to their parent/guardians, 74% in 2013 and 74% in 2015. This level of attachment puts parent/guardians in a unique position to model the values they hope their children and teens will develop.
Call to action…. Children and teens are watching as we shop, drive, and attend school-sponsored events. What are you teaching them by your actions in everyday situations? Click on the link below to see what kids are learning when we think they are busy with phones and friends.
