GLE is happy to announce that we are in the process of certifying a therapy dog to work with our students. Lizzy is a four-month-old Bordoodle who is excited to begin her training. We need your help to make this happen. We are collecting “Loose Change for Lizzy,” and more, to offset the cost of training. Loose change can be sent with your child or brought to the main entrance. We will have a “change challenge” amongst the classes and the class that raises the most money will earn a reward.
As we go into our second full week of school, please remember Lower Elementary start time is 7:50 a.m. Students are counted tardy at 7:51 a.m. This policy will be enforced beginning Monday.
