County Fair Saver Card Contest!
Beginning on Monday, 12/5 we will be holding our 1st County Fair Saver Card Contest this year! This contest will run until Friday, 12/16. Each classroom will have a container to collect their Saver Cards in. There will also be a container placed near the office for those friends and neighbors that would also like to donate to our GBR PTA. The TOP 2 CLASSES that collect the most Saver Cards will win a PIZZA PARTY!!
Please make sure that the Saver Cards ARE NOT MARKED GAS. For each Saver Card we collect, County Fair donates $.55 cents back to our school.
So, start saving those cards now and spread the word. Families might even have noticed that there has been a container set up at the Self-Checkout Lanes at County Fair for anyone else who might like to donate their Saver Card or loose stamps.

Mr. Gubbrud got to eat lunch today with multiple kindergarteners from each class as a reading reward! This happens once a month at GBR. #WalkingTaco #GBR🏹 #🚶♂️🌮

Today a handful of 4th and 5th grade learners researched the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and then constructed a float. Then, they added Lego motors and coded it with a Chromebook to move independently! So cool! #GBR🏹
