Mrs. Duckworth's 3rd Grade class were discussing Wildly Important Goals today in Leadership with Mrs. Shifley. Our students are learning how to use the eight habits of the Leader in Me program at GIS during their Leadership block.
Reminder to GIS families: Picture day will be here on 9/6, so we wanted to give you time to look for those outfits. Students who are purchasing pictures may be out of uniform as long as the outfits are school appropriate. Shirts and dresses should have sleeves and logos and wording on shirts should be respectful to our community. Thank you for keeping our students responsible, respectful and ready. Can't wait to see them all dressed up for their picture day.
Just a reminder GIS families, tonight will be the Instrument Petting Zoo in the cafeteria at 6:00-8:00 PM. You will have a chance to talk with Mr. Warkall, the band director, about the class and see many of the instruments that are available for rent to own/or purchase. If you have any questions about the band program and can not make the event tonight at GIS please email Mr. Warkall at warkall.luke@galionschools.org. Hope to see you there.
