A Note from Mr. Burgess

What’s in the home bulletin?

If your child is currently in a fall sport, make sure to take pictures during the game and send a few in for the yearbook! All pictures can be emailed to Kim Wierenga kwierenga@grcs.org

Family Time News
Next week, Mrs. Underwood is coming to kick off Operation Christmas Child during Family Time.

Learning Commons News
5th graders finished Real Reads, a realistic fiction reading incentive program, with a celebration breakfast last week. They dressed up as book characters from Real Reads books and enjoyed doughnuts, sausages, and fruit for breakfast. They are enthusiastic readers--three of the students read all 32 books! l

3rd graders began Read Around Michigan last Friday. They will be reading books about Michigan and books written by Michigan authors in a variety of genres for the next several weeks. Each minute of reading equals one mile of travel. They’ll be “visiting” 9 Michigan cities, travelling more than 700 miles, and receiving treats for each location. Go, Michigan readers!

Kindergartners are enjoying their take home book bags. Many of the students have already taken home fifteen to twenty books, or even more!

PE News
5th - 8th grade playing Eclipse Ball Jr. Ask your student where and how it originated? 1st - 4th grade working on bean bags (tossing/catching) individually and with a partner.

Conference Babysitting
Parents, do you need someone to watch your children while you attend Parent-Teacher Conferences this afternoon (1:15-5:30)?  If so, you have a fun and friendly option to choose right here at school!  8th graders will be offering their babysitting services, complete with activities planned, during Conference times in order to raise money for their class trip to Mackinaw City in May.   Take advantage of this convenient and entertaining (or educational if your child needs to get some homework done!) opportunity, and help to support the 8th graders with a donation.  Sign in/out will be in the middle school hallway.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact Mrs. Oren.  Thanks!
