Christmas Card Winners

During art classes the past few weeks, students were asked to draw a picture that would be selected for the elementary school's Christmas cards. 2 winners were selected. They were Rebekkah Bennewitz and Garrett Rowland. Not only did we print their pictures on our Christmas cards, they also received a $25.00 gift card to Barnes and Noble Bookstore from the PTO. Congratulations to Rebekkah and Garrett as well as all the other students who participated.

Reading Buddies

We have started a new reading fluency intervention that is called Neurological Impress Method.  It is a simple intervention that involves a “Reading Buddy” reading with a student for 5 minutes, 4 days a week. We are in need of adult “Reading Buddy” volunteers.  We need volunteers who are able to volunteer at least once a week for at least ½ hour.  If you have more than ½ hour we have plenty of spots available.  Training takes approximately 5 minutes.  Please contact Mrs. York at 996-2246 ext 4210 or at yorkm@m-gsd.org if you are interested in becoming a “Reading Buddy”.
