Gray Elementary is an amazing school full of bright and inquisitive learners.  Teachers and staff work hard to ensure a positive, safe, and intellectually enriching environment. We value a collaborative school-home partnership with our supportive families. It is of paramount importance that all our students form a strong academic and social-emotional foundation for their promising futures.

 

 

 

 

Dear Gray Families,

 

Welcome to February! As we enter this month, we are inspired by a quote from Ida B. Wells: “The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.” One of the fundamental skills students need to learn at a young age is critical thinking. By encouraging our students to ask thoughtful questions and seek deeper understanding, we empower them to lead with integrity and navigate the world. Recently, many of our middle school students showcased this ability during the Soapbox speech/oratorical competition where our Stallions were particularly recognized for both their passionate delivery and their insightful analysis of current events.

 

This month, our amazing 6th–8th grade Stallions are invited to a dance here at Gray! This event will take place February 19th from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM in the upper grade building gym. There will be music, snacks, and best of all, great company. Our Student Voice Committee has organized the dance, and we are proud of this impressive group of students. We are thankful for our teacher and staff volunteers who will help keep the event running smoothly and safely. We appreciate Friends of Gray for generously securing a photo booth for students to enjoy. Please look for additional information and permission slips that will be sent home in the near future.

 

On February 13th, our Stallions are encouraged to wear their Valentine’s Day colors. This day will also be our second school treat day. Students are welcome to share store bought treats with their classmates. We will designate the last 30 minutes of the day to share any treats.

 

We are Stallion Strong!

 

Sincerely,

Dr. Kotis
