Hi GIS Families!

Happy Sunday! I'm glad today is significantly warmer than the past two, and I'm looking forward to our kids going outside this week for recess. With our "cold day" last Friday, our 100th-day celebration moves to Monday the 13th. This week looks pretty status-quo, while next week brings our last ski trip and our 100th-day celebration.

Other essential pieces of information:

• Kindergarten registration is open.
• Please make sure band students bring their instruments in on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and Ms. Gibbons will let you know if there are additional days your child needs to have their instrument.
• The 100th day of school is February 13th.
• Our last ski and ride day is February 16th.
• Spirit week will be the week of February 22nd (more to come).

As always, please reach out with questions; my door and inbox are always open!

Ms. Lovejoy's Kindergarten class had a special visitor, Ms. Neu! Ms. Neu works for the Vermont Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (VABVI). She taught the students about Braille with M&M's!

CARES will be closed for the February break. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

Updated as of 6:05 PM on Sunday. Picture at the bottom!

Sorry for the confusion!

• The bus will be leaving around 7:45 *This is 30 minutes earlier than usual*
• Please make sure your child has the warm-weather gear needed for the mountain.
• We provide school lunches to all students who are signed up. Some families elect to pack a lunch or extra snacks, and that's great! Our prior ski and ride days had no lunch issues; however, there was a lunch issue last time with students bringing money from home to buy lunch. It caused students who did not have money to ask others to buy things for them. If possible, please do not send your child to the mountain with money for food.
  

Thank you to all of the families who recently stocked up our classrooms!

We have a large collection of sweatshirts, pants, shirts, jackets, water bottles, and some lunch boxes. If you're coming into school for pickup or drop-off, please swing by and see if anything belongs to your kiddo!

Our school is buzzing after hours with many fun offerings! There is a HIIT workout class, Zumba, wrestling, and many offerings from the rec committee. If you're curious about when things are being offered, please email Ms. Leonard, and she can give you the official schedule!
