Pace yourself

 wear your mask wash your handskeep your distance


Thank you all for your incredible work this year! You are doing an amazing job. I am in awe of you every day. Please pace yourself. A lot of what you are doing is new and that can lead to extreme fatigue. I want you to hear from me that we will not at this time be stressed by pacing of curriculum. It is a lot of new learning for students, and families as well. Stamina for this much online live instruction needs to be built. Please know that you have maximum flexibility to pace your live instruction in response to your students' needs. If they are losing focus, do what you would in the classroom. 

Please let us know if there are ways we can support you. I hope you are able to enjoy relaxation and time with your family on this beautiful weekend!

Love from our parents: Thank you Mrs. Driggers for your great work!

"Good morning!

I just wanted to give you a quick thank you! Everett and Lucas both LOVED their art special this week, and have both told me they wished they had art twice a week!
I'm sure virtual teaching can be very challenging, but we are very thankful for all you and the other teachers at GHE are doing to make it successful and fun!  Have a great long weekend!"

Happy Mother's Day! PLT Part III

Moms have certainly gotten a taste of what you do, but let's face it, you get to experience some part of being a mom every day, whether you have your own children or not. You nurture and encourage all of your students. Every year the Cary Chamber of Commerce sponsors and award for a teacher at each school in Cary. It is called Honor a Teacher. This year, I opened it up to all of our parents and we received more nominations then we ever have. There are so sincere and heartfelt. We had to narrow it down to the 5 teachers who had the most nominations and the finalist are ... Kathy Harrington Cindy Mangus Christianne Blasko Kelsey Burleson Meghan Patterson We are so proud of all of these ladies. I feel like it would be a waste if all of you did not get to see the wonderful things that parents said about you. Friday afternoon, I was able to pull the raw data and I will put them in your boxes for you to enjoy.  Here are some highlights: "Mrs. Arbour has really been a great support d...

So Many Exciting things happening at GHE!

           What a great week! Soon almost all of us will have our first vaccinations and we can see some light at the end of this tunnel. Let's pay it forward by helping whoever we can to navigate the vaccination process.  We are all weary of the masking and the sanitizer and the distancing, but we can power through anything with such a short time until Spring Break (28 days but who's counting). These are the times when random acts of kindness go a long way. If you are having a good day- bring someone along with you!  Coffee and chocolate are surefire hits with most!  We have so much to celebrate here at GHE. The weather is only going to get nicer, planning for our Outdoor Learning Space is well underway and we have AMAZING TEACHERS AND STAFF! Story night was a huge success with over 120 students tuning in to hear Mr. Denman read an entire book in his Elmo voice, and to hear Ms. Graner and I read aloud in our normal voices. It was very fun! ...

Kids on campus?! Relax- Not yet.

  Staff,  You continue to amaze me! As I overhear you patiently answering student questions and being twice as animated so that your enthusiasm breaks through the computer screens, I am reminded, yet again, that you are the best in the business. There is definitely an art to translating through a computer screen. It is almost necessary to be nicer than nice and louder than loud and our face is being watched in a way it never is in the classroom.  So eye rolls are not an option. 😁 Some of you may have watched the Governor's press conference yesterday, and if you didn't you have probably heard that Governor Cooper has give school districts the flexibility return to in person schooling for K-5 students. Important to note, is that Wake County has not announced a decision as to when, if, or in what capacity we will return to in person schooling. The goal is for the county to bring students back in some capacity by the end of the first quarter, but again, nothing has been deci...
