Friday, June 2. We will start after the Senior walk. The hope is to begin activity at 9:15. Volunteers please arrive by 8:30 so we can discuss your station and be ready when students arrive. It’s going to be a HOT🔥day. We will have water available but I recommend kids bring water bottles with their name on it. Dress for physical activity.( No sandals or flip flops). Going to be a fun day.
ATTENTION: We have determined that our district phones are not allowing incoming calls to come through.
Our tech support is working on it, however in the meantime, if you have an IMMEDIATE need and need to reach one of our building secretaries, you can email the primary school at amelia.martin@garams.org and the middle school at sarah.larue@garams.org. You can also reach the district office at nicole.twohy2@garams.org

G-A Families,
As you may have heard, today there was an incident in which one of our G-A buses was rear-ended by another, while trying to exit our MS parking lot to drive students home at the end of the day.
Unfortunately, a parent vehicle did not yield for the bus, and our driver had to slam on its brakes to avoid hitting the parent vehicle. That caused the bus behind it to run into the rear end of the other bus.
First responders did arrive. All students were removed from the buses and taken into our gym where students could be checked out for any injuries.
Five students were checked for injuries by first responders, but all went home. Only the bus driver of the first bus will seek medical attention.
We appreciate the middle school staff, our drivers, and our local responders for being so quick and efficient in ensuring everyone's safety prior to taking our children home for the day.
This years Field Day will be on Friday, June 2. Parent volunteers are needed. Please return gold sign up sheets if you can volunteer. Thank you
