It was a very uneventful first day here at Grainwood, minus all the excited students, parents and staff! The day was filled with introductions, setting expectations and practicing routines (which will also be reviewed all week long). I am also happy to report there were numerous smiles as students entered the afternoon buses for their rides home. There is certainly the sense of a new school year in the air! (I would imagine students slept well last everning too.) Day 2 has brought the arrival of our kindergarteners and their families. Their shining faces are a reminder of everything right in the world! I want to thank the lunchroom volunteers who assisted us the past two days. While the Kindergarten students are quick learners, there is a small need to help them with the lunch process. A few reminders...please be collecting those Box Tops for Education, Campbell Soup Labels, Coke Reward Points, Tyson Chicken Labels, Kemps Milk Moola, pop tabs and used ink cartridges for Grainwood. All these items bring us additional funds that we use to support our students. Thanks!
Lastly, Grainwood is in need of two new Noon Supervisors! This position is perfect for adults or parents interested in working 2 hours a day (approximately 11AM to 1PM) on student school days. If you love hanging out with students and do not mind enforcing expectations, please apply online at the Prior Lake-Savage hompage under General Info, then Employment/HR. The positions will be posted soon! Also, please do not hesitate to contact me with further questions about the position.
Here's to a great rest of the week!
