We wrapped up last week celebrating our GWMS Principal, Dr. Mazur, our Grade Level Principals, Mr. Harrell (6th Grade), Ms. Vinson (7th Grade), and Ms. Ortiz (8th Grade), during Principal Appreciation Week. Our GWMS community is so lucky to work with these individuals.
Did you miss Dr. Mazur’s updates regarding the new ACPS COVID policies at the PTA Membership meeting last Tuesday, January 11th? If so, please watch the Facebook Live recording.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is observed on the third Monday of January, which, this year is tomorrow, January 17. All ACPS schools and offices are closed in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day (MLK Day).
Also known as a day of service, MLK Day is an opportunity to give back to the community in memory of Dr. King who dedicated his life to opposing racial discrimination and spoke of a world where all people were provided the opportunity they needed to succeed.
Many in our nation work to honor Dr. King’s legacy through service projects to address community needs, and there are a variety of ways in which the ACPS community can serve our neighbors. For some people, that may be delivering meals or collecting food and clothing; others may serve as a mentor. The work of volunteers is always appreciated by various service organizations in need of assistance. To learn about volunteer opportunities in Alexandria, visit Volunteer Alexandria.
The GWMS PTA will also be honoring our PTA volunteers this winter with an Honor Roll of Volunteers. Would you like to specifically recognize a PTA volunteer? If so, contact Joy at [email protected]
