4th Graders Visit Jamestown
Dear Garfield Families,
The holiday season is here, and we’re so grateful for our incredible Garfield community!
We’re excited to invite you to our Winter Fun Night on December 5th, featuring hot cocoa, cookies, crafts, games, a photo booth, and fireside reading! To help us plan for a wonderful evening, please RSVP HERE - Garfield's Winter Fun Family Night! Your response will ensure we have enough supplies and treats for everyone to enjoy!
This week, we had the pleasure of hosting a Thanksgiving Luncheon with our parents, and it was truly a special occasion. It was a wonderful opportunity to come together as a school community, share a meal, and express our gratitude for the continued support and partnership of our families. As we move into the holiday season, we are reminded of how fortunate we are to be part of such a caring and supportive school family.
Our fourth graders recently visited historic Jamestown Settlement. They explored the challenges of early settlers and their interactions with Native American communities, bringing history to life. Ask your fourth grader about their favorite part—it’s sure to spark a great conversation!
Blessings and Joy,
Kerry Peerman
Principal
Liz Manning
Assistant Principal
As we enter this season of gratitude, our hearts are full of appreciation for you. The partnership between families and our school is what makes Garfield such an extraordinary place. Together, we’ve created a community rooted in kindness, connection, and care—one that truly feels like family.
We are so thankful for the joy your children bring to our school each day and for the trust you place in us to help them learn and grow. Garfield wouldn’t be the special place it is without each of you.
