Happy Saturday, Bobcat Families! It was wonderful seeing so many of our Kindergarten families at our IB celebration "It's a Small World - Who We Are" and our 3rd grade families at our beginning orchestra concert on Friday. Having parents back in the building is my favorite post-covid activity. Celebrating our students' accomplishments, hard work, and perseverance is what learning is all about! Thank you for joining us. We hope to see many of you on Thursday for our Second Annual Declamation Contest (more info below). Please stay warm this weekend and we will see you on Monday. Important updates are below...
We can't forget our IB Learner Profile Trait of the month for February is CARING! How will you be CARING to yourself and others? What does being caring look like in your home? Ask your child what they did to care for another person at school today!

Student Leadership Invites you participate in some school-wide FUN!
New Leb's Rock Your Socks February is happening! We will be collecting donations of new socks for the whole month. Donations will be made to homeless shelters in Port Chester and Stamford. This sock drive will be done in partnership with a group of Kindergarten girls who are in a Daisy Troop (led by NL parent, Colleen Wood Smith).
Friday, February 10th: Wear your pajamas to school and make a donation of $1.00 for Pediatric Cancer. A GHS 11th grader named Sophie Lenschow is a pediatric cancer survivor. Last year she had 5 schools in Greenwich participate in this cause and was able to raise $12,000!!! This year, Sophie is asking for all schools in Greenwich to participate. Let's help this cancer survivor/activist raise awareness and money for all the children who are battling cancer.
Attention Grade 5 Parents
In order to provide input for your student’s middle school placement in ELA, Math, and Science, we give you an opportunity to provide the committee with your insights via our Parent Input Form. Before completing the form, we highly recommend reviewing the Transition Information for Parents. Please note: completion of this form does not guarantee placement into the selected courses.
Have a great weekend and GO BOBCATS!
