Greetings Gearity Families
Metro Health Returns to Gearity: The next MetroHealth School Health Clinic at Gearity Elementary School is on Friday, 5/24/24.
MetroHealth's School Health Program offers a range of services including annual physicals, sports physicals, injury/illness care, routine lab tests, prescription medication, mental/behavioral health, immunizations, care for chronic conditions like asthma, allergies, diabetes, and seizure disorders, as well as health education and prevention.
It's worth noting that all our services are provided to students at no cost.
To schedule an appointment for your child, please call us at 216-320-2500 or email us at shpschedule@metrohealth.org.
Reading Olympics are Underway: Reading logs should be completed this weekend and brought into school on Monday so we can tally each homeroom's results. Please make sure your students are reading every night and completing their log. The winning homeroom will have an ice cream social on the last day of school.
The Instrumental Concert is Tuesday: The instrumental music teachers will be hosting a concert at 10:00 am in the gym for all of our 4th and 5th grade strings and band students. Families are welcome to attend but be aware that all students will also be attending so space may be limited.
5th Grade Middle School Visit: our 5th grade students will be visiting their future middle schools next Friday. They will tour the schools and get an opportunity to meet the principals, counselors and student ambassadors. Dr. Johnston will attend our 5th grade Sendoff on May 29th and you will receive information about orientation dates soon.
Have a great weekend,
Patrick McNichols

PTA Needs Your Help with Teacher Appreciation Week!
The PTA's next big project is teacher appreciation, which is next week. Please visit our sign-up https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0A4FA5AD29A0FC1-49277781-help to learn more about our plans and how you can contribute to making the week special for the teachers and staff who help our kids grow and learn every single day.
We hope that you will consider contributing an item to our power/smoothie bowl bar and fueling our teachers! PTA is planning a special mocktail/water bar as a fun treat and we will be providing gift cards for a daily raffle as well. We encourage you to find other ways to treat your child’s teachers that week— even a hand made card or thank you note goes a long way.
Here’s to the final count down!
Sincerely,
Kelly Hatgas, Gearity PTA
