The Lion's Share November 3, 2023

From the Principal . . .

Lion Familes,

It was great to see everyone at the fall carnival. Seeing all of our students smiling, laughing and having fun with their families and teachers was fabulous. I think I spent a lot of the night walking back and forth to the "jail". Luckily, I had a few students who "bailed me out". It is great when our community comes together for events.


A huge thanks to our PTO and Dads' club as well as our many parents who donated time, energy, and supplies to make this a great event.


Our Dads' Club will be hosting Cosmic Bingo in December. More info will be coming soon!


We are also incredibly excited to announce that our school letter grade from the state is an A. We work daily to grow and learn and couldn't be more proud of the hard work our staff and students have put into each learning opportunity.


Thanks,


Andrea Emerick

Principal

Updates Needed With or Without Changes

51% of our families have completed their annual update. If you haven't completed the update this year, we need your help.


Even if your information has remained the same, the annual update needs to be reviewed each year.


Our goal is to reach 100%, to ensure we have the most current information to reach our families.


We are having a contest to see which class can get the most annual updates completed. The winning class gets a pizza party. The contest will end on Tuesday, November 21st and the winning class will be announced on Nov. 27th. https://www.gilbertschools.net/Page/2973

FREE for 4th Graders

Calling all families with a 4th grader in the house! For an entire year, your 4th grader and your family have free access to hundreds of parks, public lands and seas. Get your pass here: https://everykidoutdoors.gov/index.htm.

Note: The pass is valid for the duration of the 4th grade school year through the following summer (September - August). Overview: https://store.usgs.gov/faq#4th-Grade-Pass

Why fourth graders?

“We chose fourth graders because research shows that kids ages nine to 11 are beginning to learn about the world around them. They’re open to new ideas, and they are likely to connect to nature and our history.

We offer the pass to fourth graders every year. Over time, every kid can get a free pass to explore our country.” Everykidoutdoors.gov
