Giesinger Gazette

I hope you have enjoyed Spring Break with your friends and family. As a reminder, Monday, March 20th is a student holiday. We have missed our students and are ready to see them on Tuesday, March 21st.

In support of Earth Day, we are continuing to collect plastic bags recycling challenge. We are asking students to bring plastic bags that we will collect. The winning grade gets a grade-level prize. This will run through April 14th.

Help us "Stock the Lounge" for our hardworking staff. This Tuesday, March 21st, is our PTO sponsored event and we are accepting any goodies you will send our way. Our staff loves the treats you send and we appreciate you.

Our PTO Carnival is coming up March 31st and we cannot wait to see you there. This is a fun event that supports our school. You can help by contributing items to our grade level baskets for the silent auction (see below). We cannot wait to share this event with you!

We will see you Tuesday Eagles!

Sincerely,

Amy Barber

Did you know that March is Youth Art month? Mrs. Matthews takes such time and thought into each art lesson she teaches. You will not see this amazing educator without a smile on her face and a positive outlook. Thank you for all you do for our students Mrs. Matthews, we are a better school (and more beautiful campus) because of the art you instill in us. We love you!

The SMART tag program has successfully rolled out in each feeder across the District. More information can be accessed on the SMART tag webpage.

Please keep this tag and breakaway lanyard on your child's backpack each day. This is how we scan out our students at dismissal (regardless of whether they are a bus rider or not). If your child changes backpacks, please move it over.
