Happy New Year to those celebrating Rosh Hashanah. A reminder that there is no school on Monday (Sept 26), Thursday (Sept 29), and Friday (Sept 30) this week. Parent Teacher Conferences for the first quarter are scheduled for Thursday and Friday. If you were unable to secure a spot this week, we advise you to reach out to your child(ren)’s teachers if you have any questions or concerns. Our PTA Hospitality Committee will be providing dinner by Tropical Smoothie to staff and teachers on Thursday evening.
Thank you for joining us for the first GWMS PTA meeting on September 13th. Dr. Mazur introduced the GWMS leadership team and answered lots of questions from parents. Mr. Finnegan (ACPS Facilities) provided a presentation about the recent and forthcoming updates to the school. (Note: the bathrooms have been improved!). And, Mr. Willie Bailey, our School Board representative, joined us to discuss topics presented to the Board and how he will advocate for GWMS. It was a longer than usual meeting, but jampacked with information. If you missed it, head over to our Facebook page to watch the recorded livestream.
The PTA awarded its first teacher grant to Mr. Clemmons. He received a Lego robotics kit and has asked his two GWMS robotics teams to share their innovation presentation with us at an upcoming PTA meeting. We are excited to hear from the students!
The Reflections Contest has begun! Big thank you to Lee Lynch for heading up the GWMS contest. Please see the information below on how your students can enter. Deadline is October 15th! Lee needs parent volunteers, so please contact her to help facilitate this contest for our students.
Our next PTA meeting is Tuesday, October 11th at 7 pm. Don’t forget to renew your membership (insert membership link)!
