"American Education Week—November 18-22, 2019—will present all Americans with a wonderful opportunity to celebrate public education and honor individuals who are making a difference in ensuring that every child receives a quality education." -- NEA
Today we honor our parents! According to experts, parents need to take an active and assertive role in their children's education on a daily basis for optimal success at school. Ongoing research shows that parental involvement in schools improves student achievement, reduces absenteeism, and restores confidence among parents in their children's education.
At Garretson School, we believe that parents are our children's first teachers. Thank you, parents, for all you do!
Reminder: Today is the last day of the Blue Dragons Winter Athletic Apparel order. Good luck Wrestlers as they start their season tomorrow and basketball follows shortly. https://garretsonwinter.itemorder.com/sale
