GDRMS students in the new Computer Science for Innovators and Makers class, led by Mrs. Roy, are diving into the exciting world of coding and problem-solving. During A Block this morning, they explored different ways to organize commands in preparation for an upcoming program. The students engaged in a fun and interactive Micro.bit scavenger hunt, which allowed them to experiment with block-based coding and apply their creativity while learning essential skills in computer science. #gdrsdchat
Dear Families,
Get ready—the Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school! This is a great opportunity to connect with your child over the thrill of bringing home new books to dive into again and again. Studies show that kids read more when they choose books for themselves. And fostering a love of independent reading leads to a wide variety of benefits—including academic success and improved mental health.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Book Fair:
Dates: September 16-19
Location: North Library
Family Event schedule and location: September 19 Open House
While you’re there, set up a Book Fair eWallet, the digital payment account that allows your child to shop for books at the Fair without cash. Then share your eWallet link so friends and extended family can add funds.
When you fund an eWallet, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to a giving initiative called Share the FairTM. Your contributions directly support our students who need help buying books from the Fair.
Many of us still remember the rush of finding the perfect book at a Scholastic Book Fair. I hope you’ll join your child at our school’s Fair and share a reading experience they’ll remember forever.
Happy reading,
Principal, Wendy Salvatore
PS: Need one more reason to visit the Book Fair? Every purchase at the Fair benefits our school!
