Community Outreach
Read about our Community Outreach Program efforts featured in the February 3 Gazette. The Outreach Program for our families at Governor Sqaure Apartments. This great program is supported by the school staff, parents and the PTA. It is a completely volunteer driven program. You can read about it at http://www.gazette.net/stories/02032010/gaitnew220626_32547.php. Please contact Cathy Shinn if you are interested in helping.
Thank you to our teachers, administrators and of course the parents that have been helping out in their efforts to make a difference for our extended community.
