Art News & Message From Mrs. Pavely
It's so nice to be back at GA, after my months off following knee replacement surgery. I appreciate the kind words and cards from our GA staff, parents, and students. It's time to get messy with clay, paper mache, and tempera paint projects now! Students in grades K-4 need their own art shirts for class. These can be oversize t-shirts or an oversize button-down shirt with sleeves cut to the elbow. Names should be written on front in sharpie. Students in grades 5-8 can borrow an apron from our classroom. We're looking forward to creating a lot of new fun projects to display at school and home!
After School Art Enrichment classes will begin again, once a week. The March schedule is attached, and I will continue to offer classes through May. If your child wants to participate, email me as classes fill quickly and space is limited!
--Mrs. Anne Pavely

Lunch Volunteers Still Needed
Because of the cold weather, our students are eating their lunches in the cafeteria and we are still in need of many parent volunteers to help supervise our Angels. We are so thankful for the ongoing support of our parent volunteers. They are essential in making our lunch times safe times for our students to socialize. Volunteers are needed daily to supervise our Angels while they eat socially distanced. Click here to view the calendar and our open volunteer spots. We need parental volunteers most days of the week. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
All volunteers must be VIRTUS trained and up to date with their bulletins.
