Weekly Update
This week we celebrated Patriot's Day, officially known as National Day of Service and Remembrance on September 11th. Students observed a moment of silence, enjoyed patriotic music and wrote thank you letters to those individuals who help keep us safe on a daily basis.
Earlier this week our K-3 students had bus safety drills. Thank you so much to the wonderful bus drivers who came over to practice bus safety with us. Our students learned a lot and had fun practicing bus safety procedures.
Monday, September 16th Gates Mills Elementary will be celebrating Cleveland Browns Day. It is Monday Night Football against the New York Jets. To support our team, we encourage all students to wear their Cleveland Browns attire. Wearing the Cleveland Browns colors (Brown, White, and Orange) and/or any football apparel can also show support. Thanks for your help and GO BROWNS!!!!!!
