GREETINGS FROM TGS
It's hard to believe we only have two
action-packed weeks of school left! Today we practiced our Move up Day in advance of next Tuesday's actual ceremony. This is an opportunity for students to reflect on the year and look ahead to their next adventures with new teachers or out in the world beyond TGS.
I hope to see all of you at the Speakeasy on Friday and at the Strolling of the Heifers on Saturday. Please be sure to check the website calendar and parent home notes to ensure you don't miss any of our year end celebrations and activities.
