Gift Wrap Fundraising Supports Literacy and Arts Programs at Garden Road!

 


This Fall's gift wrap fundraising goal is to raise $10,000.00 towards the nearly $19,000.00 that the PTA has budgeted to donate to Garden Road to fund Literacy and Arts programs for our students this school year.  These PTA funded programs include classroom art instruction, Young Author's Project, Reflections and an Author's Fair - all of which would not be possible without fundraising efforts.

 

This year's fundraiser will be offered through The Fundraising People, of Chula Vista, which carries the extraordinary quality and weight gift wrap that Garden Road families have become accustomed to for many years, along with unique gift items that parents, neighbors, family members and friends will love.  Plus, our school fundraiser earns 50% on every item sold!  Out of town family and friends can even shop online.  Log onto www.shoppingforyourschool.com for a variety of ways to order, including by credit card.  Just enter your student's name and "Garden Road Elementary" in the order form when prompted.

 

 Look for the catalog and order form to come home with your child on September 12, and turn in order forms to your teacher by October 2nd.

Not interested in fundraising?  Check out the alternate donation opportunities.

 

 

 

 


 

 

 University of Possibilities 

Garden Road has recently introduced a new school-wide, District sponsored, program called the University of Possibilities.  The program is an introduction to the concept of college and education as a life long activity.  Similar to the way we introduce our children to art, music, sports, foreign languages, etc., this is a way to introduce children to some of the basic concepts of ongoing education.  It's also meant to be a lot of fun!  Each classroom at Garden Road School has adopted a university and the corresponding college flag has been hung outside every classroom.  Theme based activities will be planned throughout the school year.

  

 

                                                               

 

 

 




 Garden Road Science Corps

Dedicated to creating and funding a solid scientific foundation for our youth.

This year Garden Road has a new volunteer organization called the Garden Road Science Corps.   The Science Corps is exclusively devoted to creating more opportunities for scientific learning in our school on a daily basis.  As part of this program, we are excited to introduce the Science Corps' Shoebox Science Program!

This year, students will be able to participate in our new Shoebox Science Program available in the library.  Individual science experiments in a box will be available for students to check out and explore at home, and then return to school just like a library book.  If you are interested in letting your child be involved in this exciting program, please fill out the consent form your child brought home and return it to school.

Parent participation is vital to this program.  Please consider donating time or sponsoring a kit.  If you are interested, contact jlogan13@cox.net.

Please note the following information regarding the shoebox science program:

1)  Some kits contain materials that are potentially harmful if swallowed, such as small, pointed objects and objects made of glass as well as common household products such as ammonia.  Appropriate warnings are included in the instructions.

2)  The shoebox science kits will be checked out through the school library.  Students may check out one kit at a time and keep it at home for one week.  Only those students with completed consent cards on file will be allowed to check out kits.  Only 2 to 4 kits are allowed per classroom per week.  By signing the card, you agree to accept responsibility for replacing lost or damaged kits.  In the event a kit is damaged, you will be sent an itemized bill.
