Hello Gilbert H. Hood Families,

 

It’s hard to believe that October begins this week!  The first month of school has been busy and productive. I would like to lift up our dedicated staff who work tirelessly every day to create a positive learning environment  and to make connections with their students.  I would like to lift up our students who have worked hard in their classes, demonstrated good cooperation skills, and shown their classmates kindness.  Finally, I would like to lift up all the GHH families who have been supportive and encouraging during this first month of school.  I truly believe that working together we can do amazing things!  

 

 

Clubs & Activities

 

We encourage students to get involved in afterschool clubs and activities based on their interest and availability.  These clubs include Anime Club, Art Club Workshop, Cartooning Club, Chess Club, Crochet Club, Diversity Club, Drama Club, Dungeons & Dragons Club, Husky Herald, PodCast Club, Ski Club, Student Council, Travel Club, Weird New England Club, and so much more.  Students should listen for information during Morning Meeting and get involved!

 

Morning Meeting Notices

 

Notices are shared every day with students during their Morning Meeting.  These notices include event reminders, meeting dates and times, and more.  These notices are updated regularly, in real time, and are available for families as well.  You can find  Morning Meeting Notices on our school website, under the “Resources” tab.
