Hello Gilbert H. Hood Families,

As we observe Veterans Day this weekend, we would like to take a moment to express gratitude and respect for the brave men and women who have served in the armed forces. Their sacrifices and dedication to our country ensure our freedom and safety. A very special lift up to the many veterans who are part of our GHH community, including staff members and family members of our students. Thank you for your service.

Here’s just a couple items to share with you this week:

Family-Teacher Conferences - 11.12.2024

Family-Teacher conferences will be held on Tuesday, November 12, 2024.  12:15-7:00 p.m.  We are so pleased to see the number of families who have scheduled conferences! In order to accommodate the large turnout, we need to keep these meetings to 10 minutes each. Your assistance in keeping us on schedule would be greatly appreciated.

(Reminder: To allow time for Family-Teacher conferences, there is no school  on Tuesday, November 12.)

Food Drive - November

We continue to collect donations for “End 68 Hours of Hunger”. Snacks are needed, as well as peanut butter, jelly, mayo, pop tarts, ramen noodle soup, and multigrain bars. (Please no glass containers.)  Donations are being collected in each team area through November 22.
