JGW Family Memo 10/6

Hello JGW Community,

Remember we have no school on Monday, October 9th to observe Columbus Day. We opened our school store this week and scholars can buy items with the STAR POINTS they earn in their classroom! Enjoy the long weekend.

PTO Movie Night at JGW:

Make-up DATE: Friday  October 13th the JGW PTO will show the Disney/Pixar movie Elemental on our new inflatable screen purchased by the PTO. Movie will start at 7pm. Please bring a blanket or a lawn chair to our courtyard area in the back of the school for a night with your community. To attend the movie is free for all JGW community members but our PTO will be selling concessions to raise money for our scholars.

BOYS BASKETBALL TRYOUTS:

8th Grade Boys: Friday October 13th; 3pm-4:30pm

6/7th Grade Boys: Friday October 20th; 3pm-4:40pm

These are the first tryouts of the year we will have more dates in October and November this is because of the volume of scholars we get for tryouts (over 100). This gives the coach multiple times to evaluate our scholars.
