January I'd like to welcome everyone back and I hope that all of our families had a safe and restful break. I am excited about our students returning to the school program, and I am very thankful to our parents for their on-going support of the educational process during these diffucult times. Please be aware that our children will return to school for on-line learning on Monday, January 4th for Virtual Instruction Only.

The Gavlak School Multi-Cultural Committee is sponsoring the creation of a Multi-Cultural Virtual Cookbook. This will give everyone the opportunity to share meals from many countries and cultures around the world. If you would like to contribute to the cookbook, please send your recipe to Mrs. Araz at araz@wboe.org This will be a fun project for everyone.
I would like to announce the winners of our fall season, P.T.A. Scarecrow Contest. Our two winners are Laura Zuc and Sandra Wolowiec. Congratulations to our students for their hard work! Both recipients received gift cards from the P.T.A.
I would also like to acknowledge the members of the Gavlak School Student Council who orchestrated a food drive for the Rutherford Food Pantry. The collected items helped to feed needy families during the holiday season. Thank you to all families who participated in this endeavor.
As a reminder, school will be closed for students on January 18th in honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The staff will be involved in required Professional Development activities on this day. Very much in the spirit of solving problems through peaceful resolutions, the students at Gavlak School are being challenged to do "random acts of kindness" toward others. Our Guidance Department will work with staff and students in precipitating this special program.
Looking ahead...Our 2nd Marking Period will end on February 2nd with Progress Reports to be made available on the Genesis Parent Portal the week of February 8th.
Wishing you Health and happiness in the New Year ahead! .
Sincerely,
Nancy J. Giambrone, Principal, Frank W. Gavlak School
