Green Meadow Weekly Update
December 8, 2023
The Green Meadow Lost and Found is growing by the day. We will be placing items outside at arrival and dismissal. f on Tuesday, 12/12, and Wednesday, 12/13. If you are missing something please come by and take a look. One of the best ways to keep your child's belongings out of our Lost and Found is to label your child's jackets, snow pants, water bottles. etc.. If we see a name on the item we will return it directly to the child. Items that are still here over winter break will be donated.
It takes teamwork to foster social and emotional development in children. Both schools and families can make a significant impact on growth in the areas of self awareness, self regulation, social awareness, decision making and relationship skills. Learn more about this home-school partnership and how 5 important social-emotional skills for parents can help. Check out the Green Meadow Social Emotional Learning Resources website for additional information.

We Need Your Help!
We need parents to shop with kids as well as do simple wrapping (put items in bags)! This is a great opportunity to volunteer for an hour or two with no major commitment and a super fun event for all that participate!
Go to Holiday Shoppe Volunteer Sign-Up to sign up!
Don't forget to sign up your student!
The event gives children the opportunity to purchase a special gift for their family/friends. This event is for students in grades K-3 only. Gifts range from $.25 to $10 with most being in the $5 range.
The Holiday Shoppe will run on Saturday, December 9th at the Boys and Girls Club from 10am-2pm. All children wanting to participate will need to sign up for a time slot. Parents will bring their child(ren) to the club at their designated time slot and then wait in the car while their child(ren) shop. Volunteers will be there to shop with your child(ren) and bring them back to your car when completed. If you have a child that may be anxious or need extra support we are happy to allow one parent to shop with them – please email kim@gmpto.org if needed.
Time slots are on a first come, first serve basis. Make sure to sign-up each of your children for a timeslot, not yourself!
