February 2024
CG Family,
Gratitude & empathy are the two character traits we are focused on rolling into February. There are fun family events coming up this semester starting with our family game night. Details for this event are below.
In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is 'What are you doing for others?'
Jackets, Jackets, Jackets
We have had many jackets in our cafeteria for months. Whatever is left in the cafeteria on February 9 will be donated to Chrissy's Closet. Please encourage your student to look through them if they are missing one (we have been giving the same encouragement at school). February 8 is Game Night-they will be up, so if you come to Game Night, go through the rack with your kiddo(s) and grab their jacket(s).
CG Family in Need
There was an unfortunate event happen to one of our CG families this week with losing their house and all belongings in a house fire. We would like to ask for help and support for this family.
We will be having a hat day this Friday, 2nd, for $1 for students.
Next Friday, 9th, we will be having a pajama day for $1.
All proceeds will go to this family.
If you would like to donate gift cards to a store in town where they can get items they need immediately, this is welcomed too.
They are also in need of clothes. If you feel like you can help purchase any of the sizes or items below or send in nice, gently used clothes, we will have a box at the front office for donated items.
