PTA Read-a-Thon for Gables Students

Our read-a-thon starts Monday December 20, 2021. Instructions on how to activate your reader's personal page - where you view and record their progress - were sent home this week.

Kindle Fires will be awarded to the top reader in each grade level.

Anyone that reads over 200 minutes will receive a t-shirt be entered into a drawing for an iPad.

We hope EVERYONE participates. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the PTA at gablesgators@gmail.com.

Acceptance

Acceptance is the ability to see that other people have a right to be their own unique person. That means they have a right to their own feelings, thoughts and opinions.

When you start accepting people for who they are, you stop looking for ways to change them.
