A MESSAGE FROM OUR SCA CO-PRESIDENTS

Dear GWL Families,

We can't believe it but this school year is almost over! As we round the last few weeks of the 24/25 school year, we still have some fun events and announcements to make. Mark your calendars and make note:


  • GWL Field Day is June 3 
  • SCA sponsored Grade Level End of Year Celebration is June 16 (rain date June 17) - Scroll down for details
  • 5th Grade Moving Up Ceremony is June 18
  • Place your school supply order with EPI. The deadline is June 22

Although this school year is not quite over, we have already begun planning for next year. We are looking for volunteers to Chair events and volunteers to be class parents for the next school year. Please, reach out and get involved! Scroll down for more information.


The SCA would like to thank everyone for making this a wonderful and successful school year! All that was accomplished could not have been done without our community support. A huge thanks to our amazing teachers and staff who really go the extra mile for our students and school community!


Wishing everyone a relaxing and fun-filled summer!


Warm regards,

Serena Mooney & Maria Palmieri
