Family Movie Series

How often can you see 6 movies for only $6?  Now you can!

In the interest of quality movie entertainment for the entire family, our school is proud to sponsor, in cooperation with Muller Family Theaters, this Family Matinee Series.

Follow this Link to see the popular, family-friendly movies that have been selected for you and your family's viewing pleasure.  Additional copies of the order form for tickets are available in the office.

A series ticket is good for (1) one admission to each movie and part of the proceeds of each ticket will be donated to our school.

Enjoy!

Fire and Lock Down Drills

As you may have heard from your child after school Friday, we completed our first of five required fire and lock down drills in the afternoon.  We typically host these drills back-to-back in order to limit interruptions.  Teachers were well aware of the scheduled times for the drills on Friday, allowing them plenty of opportunity to review expectations and practice with their students (especially those kindergarteners).  The next four drills are unscheduled, but are always announced as drills over the intercom system.  Here's to making Grainwood a safe place!

School Picture Day

Grainwood's Fall picture day is scheduled for next Friday, September 26th.

Retake picture day is scheduled for Wednesday, October 22nd.

Chip Shoppe Fundraiser Under Way!

Yesterday, your son or daughter brought home Grainwood's fall fundraiser packet.  We launched the event yesterday afternoon with an all-school assembly, which triggered a lot of energy and excitement from the students!  For the fifth consecutive year, we have partnered with the Chip Shoppe for this event.

Please review the fundraising procedures with your child.  He/she has been encouraged only to sell to family, friends and well known neighbors.  Door-to-door sales have not been encouraged.  A prize catalog is included in your child's packet, along with a letter from the principal about an alternative donation option (for those who would prefer their child not sell items).  Thank you for all your support with either option.  Fundraising orders are due Wednesday, October 1.  Product delivery will take place on Friday, October 24.  Safe and happy selling!

CARES Students of the Week

Hooray for our CARES heroes of the week!

Jr. Naturalist Applications

Earlier in the week, 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students brought home a Jr. Naturalist application.

Our Junior naturalists are kids who LOVE to be outside and kids who LOVE to learn more about our environment!  They are GW leaders who are willing to get dirty, ask questions and explore the world around them.  They not only learn outside every chance they get, but they are also leaders by helping our GW community become a more earth-friendly place to learn!

If your child is interested in being a Junior Naturalist, please have them complete the application and hand it in by this Friday, September 19th.
