Save the Date: Tuesday, November 22nd 10:00 am to 12:00 pm! It's the...Heritage Feast!

The Heritage Feast is a GWCS tradition that began in 2010 when a student asked Ms. Warden if the GWCS family could have a Thanksgiving dinner together at school. Ms. Warden, who always says yes to a good pot-luck dinner, endorsed the idea and a tradition was born.

In the beginning, families contributed their favorite traditional thanksgiving dish. A few years ago, to celebrate the diversity of our school community, we spiced it up by asking families to send in food that represented their heritage and changed the name to Heritage Feast. Ms. Warden also created a catchy Heritage Feast jingle that is echoed around school the month of November.

Donations for GWCS Snackalicious!

SNACKALICIOUS IS BACK!

Students need healthy "to go" snacks as they move through the day. Please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up if you are able. Thank you!

On Monday (any week you chose) bring or have your student deliver snacks of your choice.

Suggestions - Cheese and crackers, hummus and pita chips, guacamole (in single serve packages) and tortillas, bananas, cuties, clementines, grapes washed and cut into bunches, raisins, craisins - what's your fruit?

Additional dates will be added monthly.

FRESH VEG NEEDED…

ESPECIALLY KALE!

This is Tortellini, our resident Russian Tortoise.

He is a ferocious plant eater. Kale leaves quake in his presence.

We have three turtle friends: Grouchy and Sweetie (red-eared sliders), and Tortellini (Russian tortoise). They are all on a natural raw diet which mainly consists of fresh, leafy greens! If you have any veggies from home or want to purchase and donate food items - it is much appreciated! Please bring donations directly to Ms. Kohler in the lab. The below list are their favorite staples. Thank you for helping keep our beloved school pets well nourished!
