The Gates Mills Gazette
August 30, 2019
It was so wonderful to see so many of our Gates families attending Curriculum Night. This informational evening is the first step towards a solid home-school partnership. We truly appreciate your support!
As part of our PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention Support) students can earn "Way To Go" certificates. Students earn a "Way To Go" for demonstrating the following characteristics: Respect Self, Respect Others and/or Respect Property. Students names are read on the morning announcements and listed in the Gates Mills Gazette at the end of each month. We are so proud of the following August "Way To Go" certificate recipients:

Inside the Idea Lab
Inside the Idea Lab with Mrs. Stephens:
This week in Idea Lab we shopped at the Scholastic Book Fair! The profits from the book fair benefit all of the students at Gates Mills Elementary, since the funds go towards purchasing books for both classroom libraries and the school library. When we weren’t shopping, we worked on more “getting to know you” exercises, raffled off Scholastic posters (4 per class!) and previewed many picture books that we are considering purchasing for our school library. Grades one through five voted on each book that they read; many students read and voted on up to seven or eight books. Kindergarten listened to The Library Lion and practiced their loudest roars. Next week will be our first week to check out books, and we are so excited to have so many new choices! Our fall book order arrived today from Follett with 107 new books, and we got to choose more books from Scholastic as well! We are so fortunate to have so many wonderful books for our students to read and borrow at Gates Mills Elementary School. Happy Reading!
THANK YOU!
