Nurse Nancy is always looking for a few extra clothing items to have on hand for students who need them during the school day.

We are currently collecting:

• Gently used pants
• New, unused underwear

Donations of all children’s sizes are appreciated, and can be dropped off at the front desk.

Thank you for helping us keep the nurse’s office stocked and ready for those unexpected spills, accidents and outfit changes. 💙

✏️ Get a head start on the first day of school! 📚

All GFB families are welcome to drop off their child’s school supplies in the Multipurpose Room:

📅 Tuesday, 8/25 | 5–7 PM
📅 Wednesday, 8/26 & Thursday, 8/27 | 9 AM–12 PM

Dropping supplies off ahead of time will help lighten the load for students during those first few days of school!

An area will be designated for each grade and specialty. Please place all items in bags clearly labeled with:
• Student’s name
• Grade & classroom teacher
• Specialist’s name, when applicable

And don’t forget the many other educators and specialists who support our students! Our art, science, computers, music and gym teachers, along with counselors, reading, ML and special education teachers, and speech, occupational and physical therapists, would also greatly appreciate donations of hand sanitizer, paper towels, disinfecting wipes and other shared classroom supplies.

Thank you for helping our teachers, specialists and students start the school year prepared! 💙
