The Garretson Red Hatters met in September at the Sports Cabin for a noon meal. Then we did the Art Trail in Garretson. How interesting! If you want to see this bench in our photo, go to the cabin in the Devil's Gulch park. This bench was made from the Jasper quarry rock. See how many "moons" you can find. If you are 55 or older, and would like to join in some fun, give one of us a call. We generally meet on the second Monday of the month. -submitted by Ginny Solheim
Garretson’s best readers recognized!
Two weeks ago, the Garretson School District recognized its summer readers by gifting them a $10 gift certificate to Barnes & Noble Bookstores.
"The goal was to read 500 pages [over the summer months], but most kids read over a thousand pages," said Title I and Reading Recovery teacher Kim Macziewski, known to the students as Mrs. Mac.
Participants were asked to record their pages read on a form and return it to the school within the first week back from summer vacation. Nine students took up the challenge of returning the form. Many informed Mrs. Mac that they did read over the summer but few showed proof.
Those given gift cards included first graders Ava Ramsbey and Colbie Dagel, third graders Coyer Buchholz, Cope Dagel and Alison Qualm, and fifth graders Hailey Anderson, Avonlea Radford, Lucy Petrick, and Caylix Buchholz.
3rd Grade receives dictionaries from Auxiliary
"The Henry J. Fix Auxiliary Unit 23 presented dictionaries to 34 3rd graders! Shown is Rhonda Kirton showing the dictionaries and the students excited! Even though ipads are wonderful, it is nice to have an actual dictionary book in hand to look up things for class and to learn new vocabulary words."
