Held on the anniversary of legendary children’s author Dr. Seuss’ birthday, Read Across America Day seeks to inspire readers about the wonders of reading. Good literacy skills are linked to academic success across the board. Dr. Seuss said, “The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” Read Across America Day takes place on March 2nd as part of National Reading Month, which takes place throughout March. #ReadAcrossAmerica

Happy Valentine's Day! We love our students, staff, and GCS families!
In this texting age, many children haven't experienced the excitement of getting a hand-written letter. Rupert Elementary has recently implemented a school-wide program that allows students to write letters to anyone in the school. Students learn how to write a letter and how to properly address an envelope, including the classroom's very own address.
Rupert hosted "Love Letters", a family-involvement activity inviting family members to help their child write a letter. Students wrote letters to grandparents, siblings, friends, a parent, to the classroom teacher, and many other recipients! Pre-K also joined the fun by inviting parents in to help their child decorate their Valentine's Day box.
Thank you, Rupert Families, for joining us at our school! We enjoy having you all come in to see the amazing things that are happening at our school.
