Dear Great River School Community,
Welcome to May!
As we approach the conclusion of the school year and the vibrant experiences of spring, I want to extend warm wishes for a joyful season.
May holds significance as Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month as well as Jewish Heritage Month. In line with our commitment to fostering inclusivity and diversity, Jordan Samejima, our Equity and Inclusion Facilitator, and I will be equipping our staff with resources to enrich their understanding and enhance our curriculum to honor these cultural celebrations.
Excitement is building as preparations for the Bike Trip and the 3rd grade Key Experiences are well underway! Having personally experienced the joy of two bike trips at Great River, I can attest to the transformative power of these experiences.
In other news, our lunch program continues to evolve. We're still planning for the rollout of the National School Lunch Program in the Fall, which will provide free lunch for all students! Our dedicated team has been diligently crafting plans to ensure the seamless implementation of this initiative.
Additionally, graduation planning is in full swing. A seniors' planning meeting will soon be scheduled for this month to address any questions and ensure a memorable and smooth transition for our graduating students.
May this month be filled with joy and enrichment for all!
Warm regards,
David
