5th Grade Specials’ Schedule
August 2024
Dear Panther Families,
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! The Physical Education department has been hard at work designing a curriculum to best suit your child’s needs. We will be engaging in activities such as swimming, fundamental movements, games utilizing cooperation and good sportsmanship, and a lot of cardio based activities.
To ensure the safety of your child and his/her ability to participate in our program, we are requiring the following attire:
Physical Education:
Sneakers-with rubber soles and laces/Velcro (No crocs, please)
T-shirt and shorts (Grades N-3)
P.E. uniform shirt (Grades 4-6)-Students may either wear his/her uniform shirt to school, or change at snack or lunch, depending on daily class schedules. Students may choose his/her own shorts or athletic pants, understanding that they may not have snaps and zippers for safety reasons. Comfort, a good fit for high performance (not too loose or too tight) and adequate coverage for all of our activities should be the standard for choosing shorts or athletic pants.
Water jug
Caps are helpful and encouraged for sun protection.
Swimming:
Swimsuit
Change of clothes (quick and easy for changing, not snug or a lot of buttons)
Towel
*Sandals with heel straps are helpful but not required
*Goggles are helpful but not required
In the event of an illness or injury that does not allow your child to participate, a note from you will ensure an excused absence. If the illness or injury requires an extended period without participation, a note from a doctor will be required. Please feel free to contact us during the year with any questions or concerns. Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Jacob Anderson-Grades N-6

Library News
Dear Parents,
I want you to know that the Library is ready to welcome your children. We have new books coming in this year, but meanwhile, we have a great assortment of books already on our shelves, waiting for children to check out.
Tips for taking care of library books:
*Create a special place in your home to keep library books. Pick a place for your child to place his or her books away from toddlers or family pets.
*Keep food and drinks away from library books. Sticky fingers and spills can make pages dirty and cause permanent damage.
*Use a bookmark to keep your place. Don’t fold the corner to mark your place.
*Encourage your child to bring books back on time. It’s fun to get new books!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Bishop
Hello from the Lower School Art room!!
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year at GHCDS! My name is Joeana Dongar and I am absolutely delighted to be the lower school visual Art Teacher. I look forward to a colorful school year where we will explore a wide range of different artists, art styles, and art mediums. Each artist will learn to use the elements of art and design to express themselves. My goal is that the artist will become comfortable creating, as well as speaking about their works, and begin to foster a deep passion for art.
I also would like to introduce our young artists to Artsonia, an online platform and social network that focuses on promoting and celebrating student masterpieces.
The art room can always use help and support from the GHCDS community. We are looking for donations of materials, including magazines, newspapers, paper towel rolls, egg cartons and styrofoam packing materials to upcycle into works of art!
I am looking forward to creating with your scholars! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at jrdongar@ghcds.org.
