GWS GIVES BACK
FROM THE PTO
ENRICHMENT
The PTO sponsored an enrichment event at GWS on Tuesday, December 13th. Kindness guru Brian Williams spoke to our younger K-2 students and then to our older 3-5 students. His message was, “Today I will make the world better than I did yesterday!” His high energy presentation had the students excited to attempt to perform 5,000 random acts of kindness over the next 15 days! We hope your children enjoyed this event and that everyone is inspired to BE KIND!
