It was a great night of fun, pizza (courtesy of Ryan Hofer at Horace Mann), reading, and prizes! Two book fair gift certificates and one Kindle Fire kids edition were given away. Thanks to everyone who attended and to our Title I staff who put the event together!
October 23-27 is Red Ribbon Week at Gertie Belle Rogers.
Red Ribbon Week is an ideal way for people and communities to unite and take a visible stand against substance abuse. Show your personal commitment to a drug-free lifestyle through the symbol of Red Ribbon Week.
The 4th graders spent time learning about Hispanic Heritage Month by studying some influential Hispanic individuals and were able to show this at our recent showcase. We've also been learning about different components of energy and how they work together. Students and their families created roller coasters at home as part of this, and many of them worked just fine! Even if they didn't work, we still had fun seeing the creativity involved.
