Our students have been busy spreading appreciation! 💙🖍️ This week, they created heartfelt cards and posters to celebrate our School Resource Officer and our Chief of Police. It was wonderful to see their creativity and gratitude as they shared kind words and messages of thanks for all they do to keep our school and community safe. We are so thankful for their dedication and the positive relationships they build with our students every day! 👮♂️✨

❄️ Snowy Weather Reminder ❄️
Winter has definitely arrived, and with all the snow on the ground, many students are eager to climb and play on the snow piles during recess. To make sure everyone can enjoy outdoor play safely and comfortably, please be sure your child comes to school dressed for the weather each day.
Students who wish to play on the snow piles will need to have a warm coat, hat, gloves, and boots. These items help keep our students warm, dry, and ready for learning after recess.
Thank you for your continued support and for helping us keep our students safe and happy this winter!

📣 Garfield Leaders in Action! 📣
Yesterday, a few students from each class were selected to attend the NCAA Division II college volleyball game — all because they’ve been showing strong leadership in the classroom! 🏐💙
These students consistently model positive behavior, make responsible choices, and demonstrate what it means to be true Garfield leaders. As a special recognition, they had the opportunity to cheer on collegiate athletes, experience the excitement of a live game, and represent our school with pride.
We are so proud of their hard work and leadership. Keep soaring, Eagles! 🦅
