Highlights from last week's Feast & Share!

Thursday, November 20th was National Family Engagement Day—and it also happened to be our Thanksgiving Lunch and Family Share Day. What an incredible day it was! THANK YOU to all our families who joined their students for lunch and spent time visiting classrooms. We loved having you in the building and sharing these moments with you.

At Garfield ES, we strive to offer families many meaningful ways to engage—through special events, volunteer opportunities, and open, ongoing communication—because we want every family to feel included, welcomed, and informed. Families play a vital role in shaping a supportive and connected school community, and we truly value the partnership we have with each of you. 

We are proud to offer a wide variety of opportunities for families to connect with teachers, staff, and each other - celebrating learning, supporting student growth, and fostering a sense of belonging.

Recent events include:

• Community Grade Level Morning Meetings
• Parent/Caregiver and Teacher Conferences
• Advanced Academics Overview Sessions
• Curriculum Night – Focus on Literacy and Math
• Veterans Day Celebration
• Grade Level Fieldtrips
• Thanksgiving Luncheon and Student Share Day

Looking ahead, families can look forward to:

We are so grateful you’re part of the Garfield Eagle story!  Have a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving.

Your Proud Principal Partners,

 Mrs. Kerry Peerman and Ms. Liz Manning
