celebrated Annalysia's and Atticus's birthday!
Celebrated 5th grade as science superstars and marvelous mathematicians (individual student celebrations coming)
Celebrated 3rd grade as a group of students who are, "focused, on task and wanting their own brains to grow!"

We talked about the Jog-a-thon. We set a $10,000 goal that could result in one of two principal-related awards. (students will vote for their choice on Monday)
Mr. Kleiber is so connected to GES (the year of Garfield Connected!) that if the students meet the $10,000 goal, he will stay connected to the school, more specifically, the roof, for 24 hours. Work up there, camp out and sleep up there. And even invite families to join him for hot chocolate at 6:00 of the “Principal Connected” day.
A return of Kleibercorn! Many students have asked, has it been long enough! Can Kleibercorn come back?!?! (this is part Kleiber, part unicorn) it’s ridiculous! But it’s fun!
If our Jog-a-thon meets the $10,000 Goal!
Some new AMAZING stuff going up on the walls!
