As part of the GCJ2 Random Act of Kindness Week, students at the elementary school are hosting a donation drive for the Lakeland Animal Shelter. Students from Kindergarten-3rd grade helped put together a video about their mission to show kindness to animals who are homeless. Please help by donating your items and dropping them off at our elementary or middle school. https://youtu.be/tXH-vhi_Kco

The school district started a new program just before the holidays called Neighbor to Neighbor. The purpose of the program is to connect family volunteers with others within their neighborhood who may be in need of assistance with snow removal, light household tasks, or local errands.
Families who are interested in volunteering can sign up with the school district by contacting Lisa Thompson at 262-279-1053 or emailing her at lisa.thompson@gcj2.k12.wi.us.
The district is working on collecting volunteers, and then will be reaching out to the community to find residents who are in need of assistance. If you are in need of assistance, please reach out to Lisa Thompson as well at 262-279-1053 or emailing her at lisa.thompson@gcj2.k12.wi.us.
It’s a bit chilly out there and our BES artists help us remember that inside of our building as well.

We have raised over $12,000 for the American Heart Association and have collected donations from 19 different states! Did you know that any student who raises over $250 will get to throw a pie at a teacher or administrator?
Save the date: Our Heart Events will take place during your student’s regularly scheduled P.E. classes on either February 14th or 15th. 4K will be on Tuesday. If you are unsure on which day your student has P.E., please reach out to their teacher. Students are encouraged to wear anything that lights up or glows as long as they can safely move around in it.
Reminders: Registering is FREE and all fundraising is due by the end of day February 21st.
