The Greystone Glance

I am so grateful for Ms. Brenda, Mr. Torres, and Mrs. Graziano for being so supportive and awesome when I unfortunately needed to be absent for most of the week.

Thank you, Mrs. Farrell for all of your extra efforts and hard work keeping all of us safe!

Thank you to Mrs. Moura and all the families in Room 10 who transitioned to distance learning successfully on Monday!

Thank you for all your cooperation with our Distance Learning Professional Development Day on Wednesday!

The next meeting will be on Tuesday, May 17th at 6:30pm in the Greystone Library or you may attend via zoom.

On Wednesday, May 18th, Cameron Rambone will report to work in my office!

We will meet on Thursday, May 19th in the Greystone Library or via zoom. All are welcome and encouraged to attend.

I'm looking forward to seeing all of you there!

Our district Wellness Week is May 23rd-May 27th. We will participate in a variety of activities, such as taking time each day to reflect on gratitude, do some stretching and meditating, and we will have opportunities to play movement break bingo. Each class will also be assigned a different wellness topic to explore and be responsible for creating signage for the rest of the school to raise awareness on their given topic. For example, kindergarten will learn why it is important to eat fruits and vegetables every day, and then create drawings on construction paper (in school) encouraging others to eat fruits and vegetables. We will also encourage children to sign a "Healthy Habits" pledge!

I am so excited that we will be welcoming our incoming students into our school on June 2nd at 10:00am. This will be posted on our website and has been shared on our social media and on our DOJO account. I have also mailed invitations to all children currently registered for kindergarten at Greystone.

They will later be invited to a "Cupcakes in Kindergarten" celebration once classroom placements have been formalized.

On this day all students will visit the grade levels they will be moving on to in September. Grade 5 students will assist teachers and students in this process, as assigned by me.

Our schoolwide field day will be on June 10th, and our rain date for field day is June 13th. Thank you, Mr. Bello, and the PTA for all you are doing and planning to make this a very enjoyable day for all!

Kindergarten Moving Up Ceremony will be June 14th at 10:00am.

Grade 5 Moving On Ceremony will be June 15th at 10:00am.

Classroom teachers will be providing more information to the families of those involved in these ceremonies.
