Happy First Day of Fall!

 

Today, September 22, 2021, marks the first day of Fall 2021!  As we enter the fall season, we can expect the weather will begin to change, with a wider range in temperatures that students will be experiencing between morning arrival and afternoon dismissal.  Dressing students in layers is a great way to ensure they have options when experiencing cooler morning temperatures and warmer afternoons.  Also, getting fall coats and sweatshirts ready for the upcoming cool weather days is a great way to ensure your child will be prepared for the elements!  

GDW's Staff Supports #TessaStrong and Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.  Throughout the month, GDW Staff have been raising awareness and supporting the cause.  This year, as part of the GDW Staff's efforts, we have proudly joined our community in supporting #TessaStrong.  Tessa is the cousin of one of our GDW families and she has been fighting Neuroblastoma.  On Tuesday, September 14, GDW Staff wore #TessaStrong shirts in honor of Tessa's 2nd Birthday!  #TessaStrong

We are excited to announce that Lifetouch will be at GDW on Friday, September 17 to take student and staff photos.  Photos will be taken for ALL students, to be included in the GDW yearbook.  They will also be available for purchase, and ordering details were sent home via a Lifetouch flyer in students' backpacks on Friday, September 10.

• Students will be photographed in the gym during their designated classroom time.  

• Students will practice social distancing while waiting in line and will be wearing a mask until the moment they have their photo taken.
