Our GHLO Spirit Store is open again with new items! Order now through January 29th to purchase a white zip-up sweater or a stainless steel tumbler. Students will receive their items mid-February and can wear their spirited outerwear during recess, lunch or after school.
Distance learners will be able to pick up ordered items at the front desk once they arrive.
February 12th is Great Hearts Day! This is the day we great heartedly celebrate the virtues of friendship, citizenship, and humility. In keeping with our school culture, we do not celebrate religious or cultural holidays as a school; in other words, this is not simply our version of Valentine's Day. Anything that the students bring and or share should include the entire section and should reflect our nine core virtues, particularly friendship. Many teachers/grades will integrate the day's theme into their lessons and will create special ways for the students to celebrate and thank their classmates for the friendships they share. Your student's teacher will be informing you specifically through the grade-level newsletter how your child can participate. Finally, please refrain from bringing treats and sweets unless specifically coordinated through the classroom teacher. We look forward to a wonderful celebration of our new community!
Great Hearts Advocacy Announcement
We are excited to introduce Bridie Chaudoir, Great Hearts’ new advocacy manager and fellow Great Hearts parent. She has joined Great Hearts to work with families to get connected to elected officials and advocate for charter school priorities in the TX legislative session. This work is critical to maintain the quality and support of our wonderful schools, and we want families like yours to join the effort. If you are interested in this work, email bridie.chaudoir@greatheartstx.org or click the newsletter link below to learn more about opportunities for involvement.
