Kindness Counts Club kicked off the school year with its first meeting last Wednesday after school. We focused on the important character traits of respect and teamwork, by listening to our special guest, Army veteran, youth mentor and former Gayman student Rebecca Cornell, and by working together to create posters for the 9/11 Heroes Run in Doylestown on Sunday. Rebecca told us how she was a fifth grader in class at Gayman on September 11th and that she and her classmates and teacher watched history unfold on television in the classroom. She reminded us why it's important to remember and honor the sacrifices of everyone we lost that day, and the KCC students offered great answers for how we can do that every day. The posters they created were hung along the fence by the starting line of the Heroes Run, inspiring the 2,000 runners who came to remember. A big thank you to all the KCC students and parent volunteers for their amazing teamwork. Club members will receive a Sign Up Genius link soon for October's meeting.
This school year, the Gayman Home and School Association (GHSA) will be continuing to use annual Family Dues to help supplement the cost of all the amazing experiences the GHSA helps bring to Gayman Elementary.
We are suggesting $30 per family. Payments can be made via:
- Venmo @Gayman-HomeandSchool
- Cash or check (send in an envelope with family name to office)
Some of the experiences your children will have the ability to participate in, with the help of the GHSA are: Popsicles on the Playground, Fall Festival, Bingo, Dance, Library Technology, Author’s Day, School Assemblies, and the End of Year Picnic. If you have any questions, please contact us at GHSAinquiries@gmail.com.
