KEY ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS
Weekly Updates
Last week, we celebrated the Lunar New Year and were lucky enough to have guests come and perform a traditional Lion Dance for our Lower School students. Our Chinese department, led by Fei Xu, was instrumental in arranging the performance as well as organizing our Lower School students' presentation. Click here for more photos.
Chapel
You are invited to attend Chapel this Friday, February 27. Please meet your child inside the lobby of Gwynette.
Parenting Tip: Develop family rituals that foster connection.
Family meetings. Sunday morning brunches. Saturday lunch dates on the way to weekly grocery shopping. Apple picking trips every September, or making costumes together before Halloween. Whatever works for your family, but make these connection opportunities into routines, so everyone expects them and looks forward to them.
Dismissal Changes in SchoolPass
Please be sure to update SchoolPass with all dismissal changes (even when you call the office for last-minute changes).
Unclaimed Bikes
Several bikes have been parked at various locations around campus for several weeks. If any of these are yours and you would like to claim them, please contact Mike Feinberg at mfeinberg@portergaud.edu. If the bikes are not claimed by Friday, March 13, they will be donated.
