Laternlein #10: Schoolwide Food Drive & More
Jackets & Sweaters on the Loose
Our Lost & Found is overflowing with cozy treasures!
During Parent-Teacher Conferences, please stop by the front lobby to check for missing jackets or sweaters.
Anything left behind afterward will be donated. Please help us reunite items with their owners before they’re gone!
Tip: labeling your child’s clothing helps us return lost items more quickly.

GIS Gives Back: Food Drive Underway
Our third-grade students and the Grade School Student Council are leading a schoolwide food drive inspired by their PYP unit on community and selfless action.
Partnering with the Sunshine Division, we’re collecting non-perishable food items now through December 6 at all GIS campuses.
Families can send donations with their students to the classroom.
Visit the Sunshine Division website for a list of most-needed items.
