Happy Holidays
🦃🍂 **Pre-K Thanksgiving Fun!** 🍂🦃
What an amazing time we had at our **GHEMS Pre-Kindergarten Thanksgiving Luncheon** and festive activities! Our young learners explored the history and meaning of Thanksgiving, learning about gratitude, kindness, and the importance of sharing with others.
The highlight of the day was Mrs. Hartman's **"Pin the Tail on the Turkey" game**, where laughter and teamwork were in full swing! The kids showed off their creativity and coordination, all while cheering each other on.
During lunch, we shared a special meal together, reflecting on what we’re thankful for. It was heartwarming to hear our little ones express gratitude for their families, friends, and even their favorite toys!
We are so proud of our Pre-Kindergarteners for embracing the Thanksgiving spirit with open hearts and big smiles. 🧡 Thank you to all the parents who contributed to making this day unforgettable!
Happy Thanksgiving from the GHEM Pre- Kindergarten family to yours! 🦃✨

As we approach Thanksgiving, I would be remiss if I didn’t pause to reflect on what I am most thankful for this season.
I am grateful for the time I get to spend with family and friends during this special time of year.
I am especially thankful for GHEMS—the students, staff, parents, and community partners who make our school the vibrant and wonderful place it is.
I deeply appreciate all of you, who challenge my leadership, hold me accountable, and remind me that our mission is to serve our scholars and provide them with a positive educational environment where they can thrive.
Take a moment to consider what you are thankful for this season, and let’s carry that gratitude with us throughout the week.
