It is not too late to add your loved one to our Veterans Day display in the library. Simply send a photo ( photo copy if possible) along with the soldier's name, rank in the military and GBR family member. The display will be up until we leave for Thanksgiving break.
Read A Thon has started. Please help us raise funds for our vending machine and the books we provide to students in them. Today our vending machine made 7 students happy. Those with birthdays and those who were drawn from day one of "I caught you reading" Make sure to keep track of all of your reading minutes. Medals in each grade level for the learner with the most minutes read will be given. Also a $50.oo gift card will be given to the top earner in BK-2nd and 3rd-5th grade. Classes in each grade level with the most money earned will earn their teacher $100 to spend in the Scholastic Catalog . No amount is too small. Students who raise even $3.50 can earn a prize. Students will get to spend 15% of their total earnings on prizes. Help us spread the love of reading. All funds and reading logs are due by November 23rd
3/4B had a Zoom meeting with the Watertown Zoo today to learn about their sloth. Did you know sloths love sweet potatoes? Also, they only go to the bathroom around once a week? This allows them to hide their scent from predators! #GBR🏹 🦥

Please help GBR Celebrate and honor our veterans this November. I am looking for photos of your loved ones who served (or are serving) in the military. If you would like your loved one to be honored in our library display please send in a photo of your loved one along with their rank, branch in the military and the GBR family members name. I will put them together and add them to our display. You may start sending in at any time. That will give me time to get everything together so that the display will be ready to go up the beginning of November. Students last year were so excited to show off their family members. My wish is for this years display to be even bigger!!
Let’s face it:
A banana as a telephone transcends generations, and is classic humor.
Although, at lunch in 2022 it is referred to as a banana cell phone. Also, if you’re curious, it does not include a camera, nor can you text.
Wow! Miss Cammy Hilgendorf finished her third and final mural above our commons hand washing station and it’s POWERFUL 👊 Thanks for sharing your talents with us at GBR! #GBR🏹
