Thank you to the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade Student Council representatives! They joined Mrs. Carter and Ms. Hendrickson for lunch to share their ideas and wishes for Gayman Elementary School. Here are some things that they shared:

"What do you like about Gayman Elementary School?"

• Teachers!
• Buddy activities, like craft projects and Bingo
• GHSA events like Popsicles on the Playground, Color Run, and Fall Fest
• Field Day

"What would you change about Gayman Elementary School?"

• 6th Grade study hall
• Changing classrooms during indoor recess
• More kickballs, footballs, and frisbees at recess
• A Field Day activity with their Buddy Class

The Science Fair will be on Thursday, February 9th 5:30-7:00 PM. Projects must be dropped off on Wednesday, February 8th 4:00-5:00. The Science Fair is a great way for all Gayman students to come together and share our learning and love for science! For details, click here to view the informational packet.

As the weather begins to get colder and more of our students are wearing jackets and other outside winter gear, consider labeling your child's things with his/her last name. Our "Lost and Found" area next to the cafeteria is adding sweatshirts, jackets, and hats, every day.

If your child is missing any items, please have your child visit the "Lost and Found".

During physical activity, it is important that students wear proper footwear. Loose fitting shoes (i.e. crocs, moccasins, sandals, etc.) create safety challenges during recess and physical education class. For example, during kick ball at recess, crocs have flown off.

If your child has physical education class, or would like to play an active recess game, please ensure that they are wearing sneakers.

February 28th at 7:00PM is the Tohickon 6th Grade Middle School Orientation (for parents).

For more information regarding the 7th grade curriculum, click here to access the Middle School Program of Studies.
