Interesting Item sent in from a GES Parent

I am not certain if you can read all the info, if you click on it, it should get bigger. I will also try to photocopy and post on the PAC board as well. Thank you for sending this in, Rita. An excellent subject.

Another Call! Multi-Tasking

Did you get your auto-phone call from the Principal today? Lots going on. Be sure to check to school calendar!

Nit checks done again today in a few more classrooms. Thank you to the teachers (and students) for allowing us in. A few suggestions to reduce chances of your child getting nits:

- No sharing hats, coats, brushes, hair items at all.
- Keep hair short, braided or in pony-tail/pig-tails

If you have a nit/lice issue and need assistance, please contact Jackie at the school, or myself.

Interesting article in the paper this weekend. Debra Palmer, our superintendent, is stepping down to reprise her role as a principal. If you haven't read the article, go find your paper in the recycling bin. Well worth the read!

It'll be an interesting year next year for the district. Lots of changes. I think most will remain the same here at GES... But I'll let you know as soon as I know.
