December - Be Kind Through Giving
Throughout the month of December, your child will participate in lessons and activities promoting kindness through giving. We are working with a local hospital to provide ornaments, handmade gifts, and banners to doctors, nurses, and patients. Grades Pre-K through 2nd will work on decorating banners for this hospital while grades 3 through 5 will work on projects during the counselor's class to send to staff and patients.
If you and your family would like to participate in celebrating the hospital workers and patients with us, please send us a photo of your family with a "thank you" sign and we will share it with hospital staff virtually. Please email these photos to kate.cowle@gpisd.org or yadira.reyes@gpisd.org.
Below is an example of a "thank you" family photo!
Supporting Kids' Mental Health This Holiday Season
Highlights from the Month of November
Your child participated in college and career activities throughout the month of November. They learned about and researched careers that align with their interests, read books about different careers, participated in several college and career activities, and created projects and presentations about various careers. We ended November with 5th grade career presentations and award ceremonies celebrating the winners of our month-long career poster contest!
Here are some fun pictures we snapped during the month of November as we celebrated all different types of careers and colleges!
