 Student Led Conferences

Make sure to attend your conference with your child at your assigned meeting time.  This is a great opportunity for you to support your child along with their teacher.

 PTSA “Better Together” Auction

The PTSA is excited to share that their auction registration is now LIVE on the website https://ghptsa.ejoinme.org/bettertogether  .  People can start buying their tickets at any time.  They are $35 each until January 1st, at which time they will go up to $40.  Purchase your ticket now and reserve your spot!

The PTSA wants to thank you for your ongoing support of this auction.  They have donations rolling in every day and we’re up to almost $6,000 in item donations so far and about $3,000 in sponsorships!  The PTSA is thrilled, confident, and excited about this fun, great event in support of Gregory Heights!

 Lost and Found

Our students’ “lost and found” items are accumulating!  Next week when you’re here for your child’s conference take a minute to check out the “lost and found” just outside the cafeteria.  All items will be given to charity following our conferences next week.

 Musical “Winter Program”

We will have a musical presentation at 7:00 in the evening on Tuesday, December 15th.  Our performers are from Ms. Durant, Ms. Lobo, Mr. Meyer, Mrs. Schumacher, Mrs. Griffee, and Ms. Burtts’ classes.  This will be a fun evening with our younger students sharing their charms and talents.  Mark your calendars!
