The CCCHS Tiger Chorale gave a sneak preview of some of their "That's Entertainment" numbers to the Garfield students and staff today. And hopefully they encouraged the next generation of great singers at the same time! #celebrate379

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!
