Gage Community School Connection
September 11, 2017 Edition
Welcome back! We are excited for another great year!
United Way's Big Bold Block Party
Gage, Riverside, and the ALC will be taking part in the United Way's Big Bold Block party on Tuesday from 5:00-7:00 at the United Way. Stop by to have fun with our broader community! We will be painting murals for each of our three school sites. Join us!
We are still in need of an adviser for K-Kids - an after school service club lead by Mayo's Key Club! Let Jessica know if you are interested!
Gage's Family Resource Room Updates
- Due to overwhelming generosity from our community, we need to begin limiting the quantity of donations we take for the space. Please see the list to the side for things we will ALWAYS take. Keep an eye out here and on our Facebook page for specific needs we have - we will take additional donations on an as-needed basis.
- We have a refrigerator! We will soon have some dairy or fresh produce items available as part of our food shelf thanks to a refrigerator provided through SHIP (Statewide Health Improvement Partnership) funding.
Boys & Girls Club Recess Program
If you see a friendly face or two playing with our students during recess, introduce yourself - they are our partners from Boys & Girls Club! Club staff will be here each day engaging our students in recess activities to build friendships, practice cooperation, and have fun!
Get Involved at Gage!
We are ready to start scheduling volunteers for this school year! Please contact Jessica (information below) or Hillery (gagepto@gmail.com) if you are interested in supporting our community through volunteering! Our staff is currently working to put together a list of opportunities for guests to be involved in the success of our students, but please let us know your desires too and we'll find a fit for you!

Where was Mrs. Marquardt this summer??
I have been missing in action from our normal events and slow to respond to emails or phone calls. Rebecca Jane joined our family on June 21st and she is excited to meet her Gage family members at events this school year! Thank you for your patience as I get back into the swing of things!
