Only 3 days until the Luau in the Library!!!! This is a fantastic way for our library to earn money towards supplying our library, our vending machine, and our teachers with money for books. We were also able to share with our Makerspace area last Fall and purchase some awesome items for our learners to use. You can follow the link to set up your student's E Wallet if you would like them to shop on their own https://www.scholastic.com/bf/gbr

On behalf of the GBR PTA:
The April PTA meeting is scheduled for this Monday, April 24th at 6:00 pm in the GBR Commons. Free daycare and snacks will be provided. We need to nominate 1 person to run the PTA Board next year as President, as Amanda Nava will be stepping down. We have only had 1 person mention that they would help co-chair with another adult. If we have no volunteers on Monday, we will need to vote to dissolve the PTA. This would be an unfortunate loss of support to our teachers and school community. In a typical year, we raise over $10, 000 for projects, supplies for classrooms, playground equipment, field trips, etc. Please step up to help us save our PTA or help find a responsible & motivated person to be the President of this organization.
Below, you will find the responsibilities of the PTA President. If you have any questions, concerns or comments please feel free to ask one of the current PTA members or contact Mr. Gubbrud in the GBR office at 995-3091.
Section 1. The president shall
A. Preside at all meetings of this local PTA;
B. Serve as an ex officio member of all committees except the nominating committee;
C. Coordinate the work of the officers and committees of this local PTA to promote the
purposes;
D. Perform such other duties as may be provided for by these bylaws, prescribed by the
parliamentary authority, or directed by the board of directors or executive committee

Our Kids Heart Challenge is underway!
http://www2.heart.org/goto/GertieBelleRogersElementarySchool
This year, our families will soar to new heights with our Heart Hero Dragons! They will take our students on AMAZING adventures around the globe to learn about heart and brain health, meet kids with special hearts, and raise funds for the health of all hearts. Our students will feel good by doing good, knowing they made a difference for kids just like them!
We got to take in an FDC show choir tour performance this morning!
We are so fortunate to have a top notch crew like FDC willing to come and share with us.
From set up, to performance, to take down - an amazing production through and through. Hats off to Mr. McGraw and everyone involved!
Some FDC performers even got to "turn back the clock" with some PE parachute. It was also fun for staff to see past GBR learners! #GBR🏹
Today is Paraprofessional Appreciation Day!
We have such a great group of people in our building who support our teachers and learners daily. For many of our learners, one of our paraprofessionals is "their person" in the building. The ways in which they assist both teachers and students are countless, and the progress they make yearly with learners is astounding.
We couldn't do it without them! We are so glad they are a part of our team at Gertie Belle Rogers!
