Performing yoga moves to story books was a hit! We also served delicious ice cream sandwich sundaes that added a sweet touch to the festivities! It was a pleasure to share our students' amazing work and present them with wonderful choices at the book fair. Your support makes a difference in fostering a love for reading in the students at GEMS!
Thank you once again for being part of our community and for making literacy a priority in your families. We can’t wait for the next event!
Last night, we had a fantastic time at our family literacy event, and we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the families who joined us! Your enthusiasm and participation made the evening truly special. A huge shoutout to our amazing GEMS staff for planning such a wonderfully engaging night! We enjoyed a delightful play based on "The Gruffalo," had fun playing Bingo for books and various literacy games, and even raffled off some incredible baskets filled with books.
Make sure to swing by Literacy Night at GEMS tomorrow, April 16, from 4 to 6 p.m. for a chance to snag one of these awesome baskets or an eWallet for the Scholastic Book Fair! You won’t want to miss out!

Mrs. Rambo's third grade class cashed in another whole classroom reward. The kids earned root beer floats. One of the students made the celebration even more fun by bringing her pet pony to share with the class. The class enjoyed meeting Tony the pony and feeding him carrots. Thank you Kaschmitters for making the party so much fun!
