Art News - Message From Mrs. Pavely
From November through January, I’ll be home recuperating from a total knee replacement surgey I will have on November 5th, so please keep me in your prayers. I know our creative students will work hard for our long term art substitute teacher, Mrs. Kathleen Winter. I look forward to returning February 1st! We’ll begin the AfterSchool Art enrichment classes again in the spring.
A special thanks to all the parents who sent in supplies to keep our art room clean! A shout out also, to the GA Girl Scouts who contributed so many items. The GA artists and I really appreciate your support!
Mrs. Pavely

Lunch & Recess Volunteers Needed
Cooler days will be arriving soon and our GA School community could use your help! Our hard working teachers are in need of additional support to supervise their classes during lunch and a few recess duties. We are in search of 4 volunteers who are willing to "mask up" and join us from 11:00-1:15. Could you share a particular day each month? Or maybe more? Please join us to help! You can sign-up here. Be sure to include your child/children's homeroom(s) in the comments. We'll also do our best to match your child’s class since our students will be placed in different areas of our campus for lunch and recess.
All volunteers must be VIRTUS trained and up to date with their bulletins.

Don't Forget to Pay Your Dues for 2020-2021
The Athletic and Music Boosters and the PTA are collecting dues ($75/family) for the 2020-2021 school year. To date, fewer than 50% of school families have paid dues. It is critical to collect the dues because the Boosters and PTA depend on these dues to help support the students and teachers throughout the year. The PTA supports the activities for both the students and teachers; this includes classroom supplies/wishlists for classrooms/professional development/campus and school upgrades. Although activities look a little different this year with COVID, the Halloween and Christmas parties are right around the corner. The Classroom Coordinators will be making up individual bags of goodies/games for the parties. There are two ways to pay dues and fees. You can pay online by clicking here. Or you can print out the attached form and send into the school office in an envelope marked PTA/Boosters Dues. We appreciate your ongoing support.

Box Tops For Education
The Guardian Angels PTA collects Box Tops and uses the funds earned to purchase indoor recess games and outdoor recess equipment. This year, Box Tops is switching to a digital platform.
