Garfield Elementary March Board of Education Report #celebrate379



5th grade parents, please mark down Monday, April 7 on your calendars!


Below is a flyer for our annual Donuts with Grownups Event! We would love to see you, or any adult in your students' life.


As is usually the case in her class, Mrs. Ferguson found a way to make math intervention time fun today! Her class played a game called "Remainders Wanted" where students completed long division problems to see who could come up with a sum of remainders that was the greatest.

At regular times throughout the year, counselor Mrs. Cott and/or School, Family, & Community Connections Counselor Mrs. Last meet with GES students to work on Xello. Today, students discovered a variety of careers and the associated skills and pathways needed to be successful in that career. #celebrate379

Students at GES began the First Tee golf program this past week in Mrs. Craig's P.E. classes. They are learning golf basics, including golf safety, hold and setup cues, and cues for putting and chipping. Next week, they will "putt and chip" their way through a mini 9-hole golf course!





A Garfield innovator group created this invitation for the GES Art Show tonight and tomorrow. Please stop by and take a look on your way to or from parent/teacher conferences!


Just a reminder our PEP Family Movie night is Friday evening. All families are welcome, and it is free to attend! Feel free to bring a chair, pillow, blanket, and comfy pajamas. We will provide drinks and popcorn!

Counselor Sarah Cott meets at least every other week with each class at Garfield. In January, she focused on goal setting. This included an activity in which students challenged themselves to get a piece of tape higher on the wall each time using grit and problem-solving skills.
Each student at Garfield makes a personal SMART goal that they are tracking for the semester. They talk about the difference between short-term and long-term goals and how those are implemented differently.
This month, her groups are focusing on the habit of "First Things First". Part of that involved identifying our big rocks/priorities and making a time management plan.



Kansas Representative Lewis "Bill" Bloom took time out of his busy schedule to visit students and staff at Garfield Elementary on Friday, Feb. 21 as part of the "Principal For A Day" program.
The Kansas Principals Association sponsors the program, which provides opportunities for principals and other administrators to build and refine relationships with their State legislators. Participation in this program involves state legislators visiting schools in their legislative district, interacting with staff and students, and performing selected administrative tasks during their visit.
Mr. Bloom visited classrooms, met with principal Stefanie Lane and superintendent Brett Nelson, and interacted with students throughout the morning. We were thankful for his visit and his support of public education not only in Clay County, but across Kansas!
