"A Healthy Me"
This week we will learn with a thematic focus of "a healthy me"! Students will learn about the food groups and what a healthy meal might look like. Together we will enjoy sharing about the things we like to eat. Does your family have a special recipe? This week is a great time to connect with your pre-k child in discussions centered around healthy choices and family recipes.
Looking forward to...

Veterans Day
Do you know a VETERAN you would like to honor this Veterans Day? If you know someone who served in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines or Coast Guard, you are invited to add their photo to our Wall of Honor slideshow. You can either email your picture to Mrs. Vencill (bethany.vencill@gcisd.net) or send your photo to school with your student. Please label the picture with your student’s name, the veteran’s name and the branch of the military they served in. These pictures will be returned to you after Veterans Day. If you added a picture to our slideshow last year, I will add those photos again this year.

Dismissal Reminder:
If you find your child must go home a different way than planned, please notify the office by a phone call by at least 2:00 p.m. Teachers and our front office staff do not always have access to email or are busy teaching or helping others. A phone call is required. Sometimes we have only one person in the front office, so we want to provide ample time to be able to meet your needs.
