A note from Mr. G...
Throughout the year we have been beginning to utilize the Fast Bridge Testing System at GSLS. This system is a diagnostic system that helps teachers understand the individual strengths and weaknesses of students and provides guidance in providing the best help or enrichment for each student. The system provides deep levels of information into the students and it takes time to learn what is it saying to us. As we end our first year with the program, the teachers have gained much understanding and information. We will be having our third testing session in May, giving us our third set of data to compare. After testing has finished and the teachers have met to discuss the data; we invite you to make an appointment to meet with your child’s teacher to learn what Fast Bridge can tell us.
The Learning Fair and PTL meeting are scheduled for April 26th. The Learning Fair will begin at 6:30. Students doing experiments should be practicing them at home. If you have any questions, please contact your student’s teacher. The PTL meeting will begin at 7:30; the serving committee is as follows: Jesse & Quinciann Edwards, Tim & Tiffany Anderson, Jon & Allison Crouse, Allen & Terry Harries, Cody & Sarah Koehler, Ben & Aubrie Schaefer & Greg & Dayna Scheele. The Preschool, Kindergarten, 3rd and 4th grade classes will have devotions.
All students will be singing at Bethlehem on April 28th. Students should arrive at church by
8:00, worship begins at 8:15. Please have them wear their GSLS polo shirts. A form from Mr. G is coming home today; please fill that out and return it to school by April 24th.
The 5th-8th grade spring band concert will be Monday, April 29th at 7:00.
The Beatrice Field Day is scheduled for May 3rd beginning at 10:00 am. There are a lot of driver forms that have not been turned in! Please make sure to turn those in to the office by April 29th! If it would happen to rain on Friday, May 3rd, the make-up day is Monday, May 6th. In the event of rain, students who were planning to leave from home do not need to come to school; students who were planning ride with someone from school will have a study hall. We understand that May 6th is a scheduled “No School” day because it is Professional Development day for teachers. However, if it rains on Friday, we will go to Beatrice on Monday. Remember, there will be no buses running on May 6th, so you will need to make arrangements for your students to get to Beatrice if you are unable to go.
The Alma Field Day is scheduled for Friday, May 10th beginning at 9:00 a.m. at the Wabaunsee High School Field in Alma. We will need to leave school at 7:15 and will not be back in time for buses. A concession stand will be available, or students may bring a sack lunch. Please return the attached driver form to the office by April 24th. Students will sign up for their events at school.
Celebrate America! Students in grades K-4 will be attending Celebrate America at MHS on May 13th. The theme for this year’s event is “Tour Guide America.” Each and every part of this nation has its own unique flavors and identity. The Junior class will be divided into groups and each one will choose a state to research and will then present information about that state, its background, traditions, and features to students.
Marysville Elementary, St. Gregory’s and Good Shepherd 3rd – 6th graders will be participating in a track meet on May 14th. This was previously scheduled for May 8th. Students need to bring a sack lunch; no concession stand will be available! Students will fill out their event forms at school. There is no rain day for this event.
The end is near!! As a closing event, the 7th & 8th grade students will be heading to Topeka on May 17th for a day of fun and learning. This will be a long day; we are planning to depart from the school at 7:00 am and return around 8:00 pm. We will be visiting several places including the Capitol and the Kansas District LCMS office. If you have any questions, contact Mr. G.
The GSLS end of year program, graduation and carnival will be on May 22nd. The program and graduation will be in the MHS auditorium with the carnival to follow at GSLS.
