#Better Together






 Happy Weekend everyone!

These amazing times call upon us to collaborate in a way that perhaps we never have before. I don't just mean aligning our curriculum, which has taken on increased importance this year. We need to lean on and support each other as we navigate the newness and constant change that is a regular part of our lives now. As we move toward bringing students back into school, you may be called upon to help a colleague teaching on a different Plan. This definitely calls for "all hands on deck".  Before you start thinking about how tough this will be for you, think instead that we are all going through this. Noone is getting off easy. We will do everything we can to support you and our doors will always be open to you.  We will extend you as much grace as we possibly can under the circumstances because no matter the plan, you are all doing the most important work we do as a school community. 

In that vein:

CARE CENTER helpers:

Our front office staff will be trained to supervise the Care Center when needed. This is where students or staff will report when they are experiencing a potential symptom of COVID. This will come with training and will not require you to stay in the Care Center, We would like to have shifts and only have a person report there if there is a child with symptoms. 

The more folks we have trained for this duty the better. We are looking for people who do not have a homeroom class who might be willing to help out. As I said, the front office staff will also be trained. Please email Steve if you are also willing to serve in this capacity. Thank you!


Thank you Ms. Coleman and Mrs. Fields for this 2020 style class photo!

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...
