A MESSAGE FROM OUR SCA CO-PRESIDENTS

Dear GWL Families,

November is here and we have so much to be thankful for! 

Many, many thanks go out to...

Our teachers and staff at GWL. Your dedication to and care for our students is so appreciated!

All the volunteers who have stepped up to get involved in our fundraisers and events! It takes a village and without your generosity and support we would not be able to bring all the exciting events and enrichment programs to our students.

Those who attended our evening out October SCA meeting, it was wonderful to see you! We appreciate all the feedback and ideas. We encourage everyone to attend the member meetings and check out the SCA website to find out what is going on in our school community and to see how you can get involved. 


On Wednesday, November 5th at 9:00 AM, there will be an SCA member meeting in the auditorium. Ms. Marcantonio will be giving a special presentation. If you can't be present in-person, we will provide an option to attend via Zoom.

We have so much more to give thanks for! Scroll down to check out our Thank Yous and to see what exciting events are coming up.


Warm Regards,

Serena Mooney & Nicole Muia

SCA Co-Presidents
