Thank you to all the parents who attended the first PTA meeting.  Dr. Brooks had some great strategies in how to balance screen time. 

Next week is the first CAC meeting of the year.  It is in the library at 4:00.  These meetings are always open to the public. 

Today was our first Popcorn Friday.  For someone who forgot their lunch today, that popcorn was a definite welcome.  Thank you PTA.

If you are looking for things to do, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday GMS usually has some sporting event going on.  Come out and watch.
