GWC EAGLES' NEST
OPEN HOUSE & FIRST DAY INFORMATION
A WEEK: NOVEMBER 11-15
Schools are closed tomorrow in recognition of Veterans Day. Originally established as Armistice Day to commemorate the end of World War I, Veterans Day honors all of those who have served the country in times of war and peace. We are so grateful for the sacrifices made by the brave veterans who have served our country honorably.
We are also celebrating World Kindness Day this week. World Kindness Day is held each year on November 13th to promote the importance of being kind to each other, to ourselves, and to the world.
Have a great week,
Donna Thorstensen

SCHOOL HEALTH REMINDERS
When it is medically necessary for a student to receive medication in school, cooperation between the health care provider, the school and the parent/legal guardian is essential. In order for medication to be given during school, guidelines outlined in this linked document must be followed. Please contact Nurse Crystal if you have any questions or need clarification.
LOST & FOUND
SNAP-ED FUN
Some of our students had fun this week with our SNAP-Ed partners. They read a story about how we get our food from farm to table. Students were than able to try fresh vegetables and fruits. The pears were a hit and the broccoli had mixed reviews. 😊
