Mackenzie Lost & Found Alert! 3-weeks into school and we have a lot of lost & found already. We've asked students to look but not much has been claimed. Do you see something that belongs to your child? Please reach out to Mrs. Gallo gallom@eldred.k12.ny.us so it can make its way home to you. Please remember to label your child's belongings so we can return them quickly to your child. We have a new system in place to hopefully cut down on the amount of lost and found in the future.

As we start a new school year we want to remind parents how important attendance is. We realize illnesses occur and it's not always an option to schedule appointments outside of the school day. If your child needs to be out for any reason please communicate that to your child's school by using the following attendance email address for the school they attend.

Thank you to our GRM PTA for the engaging wildlife assemblies today. It was a beautiful day and we were able to utilize our outdoor classroom. The smaller groups allowed for our students to get up-close-and-personal to the presenter, Riley, from Rizzo's Wildlife World and the animals she brought. Our students had thoughtful questions and the variety of animals they got to see and touch was impressive. Our students saw a small alligator, a tarantula, a box turtle, a hedgehog, a bullfrog, a bearded dragon, a chinchilla and a ball python among others!

Thank You School Bus Drivers!

The GRM Student Council would like to welcome everyone back from Spring Break with a Spirit Week April 22-25.
