Hello Gayman families!

My name is Mrs. Jennifer Snyder, and I am joining the Gayman community as Dean of Students. This year I will be sharing my time with Cold Spring, Gayman, and Buckingham Elementary Schools. I have been a teacher in Central Bucks for fifteen years, having taught first, second, and sixth grades, most recently at Titus Elementary. I attended Delaware Valley University, where I received my K-12 administration certification. I hold a master’s degree in special education from Arcadia University, and a bachelor’s degree in elementary and early childhood education from Temple University.

My husband and I reside in Warminster with our black lab puppy named Kona. Outside of school, I enjoy baking (especially gingerbread houses), studying the weather (I’m a trained weather spotter for the National Weather Service), and spending time with my family and friends.

I am very excited to join the Gayman family this year. I look forward to getting to know everyone, building relationships, and learning about everything that makes the Gayman community special. Should you need to reach me this year, feel free to contact me via email at jsnyder@cbsd.org.

Get Ready for Gayman’s ANNUAL Pumpkin Patch in the Library!

Each October, we love to put our students’ and families’ creativity on display by creating a pumpkin patch in the library. All students and families are invited to work individually or as a team to create a pumpkin at home to bring in to share for this year’s patch. Please DO NOT carve pumpkins—they will rot in our warm library!

All the information needed—including drop off procedure for October 24 and pick up procedures for October 31 are outlined in our flier (which will also be sent home with students).

Questions!? Contact Mrs. Thomas at the library: hthomas@cbsd.org 267 893-4300 x4358

The Halloween parade will be on Tuesday, October 31st at 9:00AM. Parking will be limited. If possible, please consider carpooling. (Rain date: Wednesday, Nov. 1st. If the parade is postponed, the decision will be made by 4:00PM on Monday and communicated via email.)

Students will walk out of the front building (near the flagpole) and parade on our sidewalk around the school. After reaching Burnt House Hill Road, they will turn and walk to the back playground and re-enter the building by the gymnasium. NOTE: We will walk the parade route twice.

Kindergarten students will lead the parade, followed consecutively by the other grades.

Students are welcome to wear their costumes to school. Please have your child bring their masks and/or accessories to school in a bag with your child's name on the bag. Please use your best judgement in costume selection. Costumes of a violent nature are discouraged. There should be no weapons of any kind brought to school on Halloween.

October 31st is a half-day of school. PM kindergarten attends.

All AM Kindergarten students are invited to participate in the outdoor parade. Please bring your child to the entrance under the large Gayman Elementary School sign, in front of the school, by 8:45AM. Mrs. Feher will bring the AM class to Mrs. Menard's room where they will lead the parade. Please pick up your child after the parade at the drop-off location.

To volunteer at a class party or chaperone a field trip, your clearances must be up-to-date.

If your clearances are current, upload them into the App Garden - Volunteer Tracker. If your clearances have expired, or you need to begin the clearance process, click on the Required Documents for the directions. For more information, consult the Human Resources Volunteer Required Paperwork webpage.

A big, big thank you to all the parents and students who contributed to the success of our first KCC meeting of the school year! We were overwhelmed with donations for the birthday bags we created for Bucks County Opportunity Council's food pantry, and the kids did an awesome job decorating the bags and then filling them with everything needed for a fun celebration. This club could not continue without the generosity, time and energy of so many members of the Gayman community. You are truly appreciated! Watch the Gazette for details about November's event!

The Gayman Home and School Association (GHSA) is continuing to use annual FAMILY DUES to help supplement the cost of all of the amazing experiences that GHSA helps bring to Gayman Elementary.

Our next BIG event is the FALL FAMILY FEST and these donations will be used to host this event. And these donations are used for so many other fun things for all kids; Bingo, Dance, Library Technology, Author's Day, Assemblies, and so much more!

If you have any questions please contact us at GHSAinquiries@gmail.com
