Dear students and families,
Recognizing the critical importance of social-emotional well-being to student success, at GFSS this past week we launched “Hygge Week” (creating comforting, cozy spaces and happy experiences) led by several staff members. Be sure to check out the posters around the school to learn what is happening.
The focus on wellness continues next week, the final week of semester one. GFSS students and staff are busily putting final touches on inquiry projects, engaged with culminating field trips, and dedicating extra time to review and study for summative assessments.
