Notes from Mrs. Carder
I am sure we all agree that we are happy spring has arrived!
The first week of May is staff appreciation week - please take a minute with your child to create a card or nice note for their teacher. We truly have an amazing staff at Gray!
Parent input forms are due April 12 to help teachers create balanced classrooms for next year. Teachers know the students very well so a form is not required but if you have special information for us to consider be sure to let us know.
As you notice above we have a full calendar until the end of the year. Keep up with reading newsletters, reminders, and checking backpacks!
Don't forget to vote on April 2!
Leaders of the Month
Congratulations to Mrs. Bryant on being teacher of the month and Mrs. Cheek for being staff member of the month. These educators are caring, hard working, and great with our students at Gray. We are so happy to have them both on the Gray Team!
