Today, our Garfield Giants came together to celebrate PBIS in a BIG way!

Each classroom designed their own colorful PBIS banner and created an awesome class chant to show off what it means to be respectful, responsible, safe, and ready to learn!

Our halls were filled with school spirit, creativity, teamwork, and LOTS of cheering as we celebrated the positive choices our students make every day!

A special THANK YOU to our local police and fire departments for joining us and helping make our celebration even more special! 🚓🚒 We are so grateful for their support of our Garfield Giants!

And the celebration didn't stop there! Once our parade was finished, our 5th graders helped cheer on and celebrate PAEC's parade, showing that PBIS and school spirit are something we can all celebrate together! 📣💜

A huge shoutout to our amazing students and staff for making today’s PBIS Parade such a fun and memorable celebration!

Keep ROAR-ing, Garfield Giants!

Garfield recently held its annual Spelling Bee for our 4th and 5th-grade students! Earlier this month, each classroom hosted its own spelling bee, and the top three spellers from each class advanced to the school-wide finals.

Congratulations to our winners: 🥇Aubrey, 🥈Cali, and 🥉 Joselyn! We are so proud of all of our participants for their hard work, preparation, and courage in competing. Keep up the great work! 😊🐝

This past weekend, our 3rd-5th grade girls who are involved in our Girls on The Run after school program ran in the Girls on the Run 5K downtown in Grant Park with all of the other Chicagoland schools who are involved with the program.

The girls trained all season for the 5K while also learning valuable social emotional lessons to install confidence, self-esteem, and joy in our girls! As the girls say at the end of every practice in their cheer, “Girls on the Run is so much fun!”

We hope to see some brand new faces next year and have some girls come back again next year! Look for more information next school year!

We are planting seeds for the future! 🌟

Our students participated in an exciting Career Day, where they had the opportunity to explore different professions and start dreaming big. As Mrs. Saffold shared, “It’s never too early to introduce careers to our Giants! 💼

Our students shared big dreams—becoming veterinarians, principals, art teachers, paramedics, lawyers, football players, and psychologists! Inspiring our students to dream big and explore their future starts now! 🚀
