Thanksgiving Message from Dr. Hargett
At this time of the year, as we reflect on Thanksgiving and thankfulness, I want to take this opportunity to share just a few things for which I am thankful:
I am thankful for our students, who come to school every day ready to learn – they give us all a daily reminder of what is important in life and why we do what we do every day. I am thankful for the support of our parents, as they continue to share their most valuable possession with us and-in most cases- work hard and advocate to be a partner in their children’s education, safety and well-being. I am thankful for the teachers, tutors, and support staff who not only care about our student’s success, but who also really have the best interests of our students at heart. They, along with parents, are ambassadors for our school. I am thankful for our Board of Directors, who believe in, and share the vision and mission of Greengate School, and continue to make it possible for the school to be a viable resource in our community. I am also thankful for our many volunteers who enthusiastically contribute so much to our school.
In these most difficult and challenging times, we see dedicated and tireless individuals going above and beyond to make sure that great things happen in our school. They do make a difference, and the children, in their own individual ways, benefit from those efforts.
I would like to wish all of you and your families a happy, healthy and relaxing upcoming Thanksgiving holiday!

Publix
Publix Super Markets has a great program that will enable our school to make money every time you shop at Publix. It costs you nothing and Publix sends the school a check quarterly. All you need to do is present your Publix Partners card when you shop and Publix will handle everything else.
If you need more cards for other family members, friends, or neighbors, please send a note to your child’s teacher requesting how many more cards you need.
Thank you for joining us in supporting this valuable program.
