Principal's Message
In other news, our Lost and Found at GRE is once again overflowing. Parents, please take time to check it next time you are in the school and/or encourage your child to check it. What is left at the end of the school year will be donated.
More from our PTO - We would love for you to get involved!

We will have each class battling another class and the class winner will go against staff. If time allows, we can have the winner go against the parents so you won't want to miss!
*Participation will of course be voluntary and we will not hold the tug-a-war if it's too muddy.

From the Library
It’s hard to believe that we are ending April. The calendars are filling up. Here are a few important dates to know from the library.
May 8-12th is the last week for checking out library books. ALL books are due back in the library May 19th . Thanks to everyone who has worked hard at returning overdue books lately. It is so helpful as we prepare for end of the year inventory! We are going to be looking at Award winning books for all grades the rest of the year!
As always, thank you for your support of reading and of the library. Any questions or concerns please make sure to reach out.
