Winter Greetings Green Acres, January 14, 2021
(live links attached)
The 2021 year is now in full swing, and I’m sure you are all hopeful of our potential return to normal. We have been keeping our pulse on the COVID numbers and watching state notices with bright eyes. We want to hear from you now that we have 2020 behind and vaccines in our near future. Please click here to participate in this most recent
PARENT SURVEY. Your responses help us understand you and the community we serve.
Teachers and students are back to their online classrooms, and recently students participated in a survey. The good news is that most students are generally doing well despite the challenges of distance learning. There are those, however, that are severely struggling and in need of additional support. Thus, our district is working to begin creating small cohorts of students to return to Outdoor School, which will occur at Live Oak Elementary School. Following CDC guidelines, we have strict guidelines as we slowly transition students back to in-person support.
What is relevant to ALL our Lions is Art! Next week, all students will receive weekly online art instruction from our new art instructor, Ms. Gina Garcia. She will deliver both visual art instruction and dance! This Friday, January 15, 2021, ALL students will have an item to pick up at our distribution center to participate in her art classes. Please make sure you stop by to collect your child’s art supplies. NOTE: Please do not come if you have COVID symptoms or exposure. Please contact the office if this is the case, and we will work with you. While you are there, take advantage of an opportunity to purchase your Green Acres Face Mask! Both adult and child sizes will be on sale for $5.00 each! So bring some cash!
Our SSC and ELAC parent and teacher members have been staunch supporters of our school programs and have been working together since September to ensure we meet state and federal guidelines and processes. These parent’s efforts and attendance at monthly meetings have been paramount to our continued success. Thank you, SSC AND ELAC council members!
In the meantime, our handful of loyal Home and School Club (HSC) parents have been working behind the scenes to fundraise and help us refurbish our Life Lab. HSC is also fundraising to pay for the upcoming art classes delivered through a combined effort from a partial grant from Spectra Art Foundation, HSC, and our district. Please continue to support our school by supporting their fundraising efforts! By the way, the Charleston Wrap Fundraiser gave us a very welcome $1100 return! Thank you to all who went online to purchase items.
Our
GREEN ACRES MERCHANDISE is still open for business! Here is your one-stop-shop for Lion spirit wear! If you purchased something for your kids, please send me a picture as I collect spirited photos of our proud Lions. It’s never too late to show your Lion Pride!
Proud To Serve,
