We want to wish you all a terrific and safe Thanksgiving. We look forward to seeing you all back at Grassfield Elementary on Monday, November 27, 2023.
Your child is a valued member of the Gator family, so please keep in mind the importance of attendance! When a student is absent they miss out on valuable instruction. Absenteeism, regardless of reason, can negatively impact academic performance. Daily lessons build upon each other and missing just one class can put a student behind academically.
Good attendance is an important habit. Please keep that in mind as we return from Thanksgiving break. We hope to see all of our Gators and can not wait to catch up with them when they return to school on November 27th!
👏 Let's put our hands together for Denise Chirgwin! She is a phenomenal 1st-grade inclusion teacher and has been named a Teacher of the Year Finalist! 🍎
💖 Denise's journey, marked by her military life, is full of passion and dedication across 4 schools in 2 states. Her heart resonates with students who need that extra love and support. For the past two years, she has created a nurturing space that allows students to be themselves while challenging them to achieve high academic and personal goals. She believes that the love of learning occurs when students, families, and school systems work together! 🤝
Denise is a proud member of "Team Chirgwin," alongside her two sons and her husband of 18 years, and cares deeply for their military community and the spouses and families she and her husband serve next to. 🇺🇸
A few fun facts about Denise are that she earned her CLD and even drove a school bus, is a Professional and Organizational Development Council Member and MTSS teacher leader for GFE, and she would love to live in a cabin surrounded by nature and my family. 🏞
🎉 Congratulations, Denise!
