We have our first staff SHOUT OUT of the year and it hasn't even officially started yet 😉 Dr. Barrett and Mrs. Brecheen wanted to shout out our AWESOME lunch bunch ladies who made over 600+ hot dogs for the Open Houses this past Friday. 👏
As the first day of school is approaching, please take a look at the daily bell schedule and note that on Fridays all of our schools get out EARLY. The time is listed below!
W-O-W! Earlier this week, several members from a local church brought a GIANT cookie cake, Walmart gift cards, and notes of appreciation for teachers and staff for both GDE & GUE. Each card was individually addressed, too 🧡 Our teachers and staff want to say THANK YOU BIG TIME, New Life. It's exactly what they needed this week!
Glenn A. Duffy Elementary’s theme this year is "Be the light that leads others". We want to instill in the students how they are all leaders and can shine bright in their actions! We would love for you and your kids to purchase some swag to show your spirit throughout the year to celebrate our theme. All proceeds will go towards Glenn A. Duffy Elementary. The store closes in 30 days! Click here: https://skylinemerch.printavo.com/merch/gdebts23

Both our GDE & GUE teachers have been diligently learning and focusing on the "Leader in Me" practices. These teachings encourage educators to inspire greatness one child at a time! It's been a busy, but productive week! 😊
Better late than never, but our postcards just went in the mail yesterday!! We apologize for the delay but our supplies got delayed getting here. Thank you all for your patience and understanding ☺️
Parents, as we are all gearing back up to go back to school, please take note of this traffic flow map. It is VERY important for the first several weeks that we all follow the green arrows. And note, the walker club does NOT START until AFTER Labor Day, 9/4. This is for safety reasons. Once traffic has calmed down and folks know the route, the walker club will begin. Thank you for understanding!
