Fun Fridays

The Community Council has been working with Grovecrest staff to provide more playground options for our students for lunch recesses.  We are going to start "Parent Fun Fridays" beginning today!

The blacktop will be open both lunch & afternoon recesses today.  There will also be other parent-provided fun games to play on the blacktop. The Kindergarten swings & playground will still be off limits for today. 

We will have a closet in the basement (by the Copy room), where parents will check out "game kits" that have the directions & supplies for them to play with. We've also created a blog http://grovecrestrecess.blogspot.com (still finishing the details on it ) where parent volunteers can go to get ideas for games & also what is expected of them. The new playground has a lot of rules about where to come in, where to exit, where's ok to play, where's off limits, etc so it'll help a lot to have all that info in one place for parents that are signing up. 

We will be sending out a Sign-up Genius for parents soon so that we can have this option every Friday for the rest of the year. Please spread the word!  If we get enough interest, we'll start Terrific Tuesdays sign-ups as well. We are working on figuring out how to also open up the swings and Kindergarten playground on Fridays, and will update you when that is available.

Thanks!

p.s. If you have ideas for simple fun games, please send them to me and I'll add them to our list of game options!
