The next skate night is March 4th and once again we will have our Community Outreach food drive. Students may bring their cans to school or skate
night and receive free candy for each can they bring. Mrs. Hart will be available on Thursday to pass out free candy during your student's lunch.
Any student who brings in 5 or more cans will receive a "bonus prize" and their name entered into a drawing for free ice-cream or coupons to the
Grayson Ram store. Also, in March we will have an additional Skate Night to help support Relay 4 Life. So if you miss this one you will have another opportunity to come again in March. Remember Grayson is "green friendly" so look for your skate coupon on our website. If you're unable to download the coupon there will be additional coupons available at skate night. Next Skate Night: March 4th Best Attendance Winner: Meadows 3rd Skate night theme: "Give Back" * Relay 4 Life skate night with teacher support will be Tuesday March 23rd.

5th Grade Rocks! It was a great event and just one more way for the 5th graders to celebrate their final year at GES. What a great night it was. Over 80 classmates turned out on a cold, rainy night to attend the JAM FEST. The DJ was awesome, the contests were superb, and the popcorn and cookies were delicious. This 5th grade event was fabulous!  back to top |

Martial Arts
Grayson Elementary Martial Arts Focus and Fitness Club
Sponsor/Contact: Mrs. Kristie Horn Grayson Elementary is currently offering a Martial Arts Focus and Fitness club on Wednesday mornings. The current session is going extremely well and we have received excellent feedback from both students and parents. The next session of the Martial Arts Focus and Fitness Club is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, March 17th. The club will still meet from 7:45 to 8:20am on Wednesday mornings for 9 weeks. There are now two certified instructors leading the class and the enrollment rates will stay the same as the first 9 week session. BENEFITS OF MARTIAL ARTS... Research has shown that children who participate in forms of "Martial Arts" are more confident, have better self-control, and concentrate better in school. It also helps to improve self-esteem & teaches self-discipline. Pediatricians have also "prescribed" martial arts for children who require a high-energy activity to help channel aggression. Focus, Fitness, and Fun will be our three main goals. Each week, the Black Belt Instructor will focus on "Character Development Traits", for example: respect, organization, perseverance, determination just to name a few. The instructors will also be teaching your child a variety of Martial Arts/Self-defense techniques. In other words... Your child will be learning valuable life skills as well as getting "Fit". Can you think of a better way to start their day? Registration forms are available from the Martial Arts Club link on the GES Web-site and will be sent home by Friday Folder on March 3rd. If your child (children) is/are interested in enrolling please print the form and return it to Kristie Horn. If you have any questions or concerns you may also contact Mrs. Kristie Horn via email at Kristie_Horn@gwinnett.k12.ga.us. A frequently asked question this past session: What do the students wear? Martial Arts T-shirts and Martial Arts pants will be available for purchase. However, your child may simply wear comfortable P.E. clothing and is welcome to change in the bathroom after class if necessary. back to top |
