GSRP preschoolers had a fun field trip, with beautiful weather, at the Chippewa Nature Center last week! They learned about farm animals: what they need to live and what they provide. They also explored some areas inside the visitor center and a Nature Play Area.

Screens are part of childhood now. Figuring out how they fit into family life isn’t always simple.
How much is too much? What boundaries are realistic? What do we do when kids push back? How can we help them build independence and resilience both online and offline?
Join Tracey Galgoci, MA, LPC for Raising Resilient Kids, an honest and judgment-free conversation for parents and caregivers.
We’ll talk about practical ways to:
• Set realistic boundaries around phones, gaming, and screens
• Navigate social media and digital habits
• Handle pushback around technology limits
• Build independence and problem-solving skills
• Make more room for connection, play, sleep, and real-world experiences
There are no perfect answers and no expectation to have it all figured out. Come with your questions and hear ideas that can work in real family life.
📅 Tuesday, Oct. 27
⏰ 6:00-7:00 p.m.
📍 North Elementary
This FREE event is for all South and North families. Food, drinks, giveaways, and childcare will be provided.

Mrs. Gulick's 2nd graders couldn't stay inside earlier this week on such a beautiful day! For Number Corner this month, they've been learning about Pinnate and Palmate leaves. They've practiced recognizing patterns in leaf type, color and orientation. On this day they went on a leaf hunt! Students found a ton of Palmate leaves and some Pinnate leaves too! 🍁🍂
