As we move into the new year, I am proud of the efforts made by members of our Gavlak School Student Council. The group was successful in collecting many bags of food to be donated to the Rutherford Food Pantry for needy families. I want to offer a special thanks to Mr. Pierce and Staff for helping plan the collection, the work done by our Student Council Students, and to our Parents and Community Members that generously donated items in support of this worthwhile cause.
Every year at this time, our 6th Grade students participate and compete in the North Jersey Spelling Bee Competition. The program this year is being coordinated by our 6th Grade Language Arts Teacher, Ms. Sielski. She will be working with our 6th Grade Homerooms as our students compete with each other to be named as the Gavlak School Spelling Champion. Our School Champion then goes on to compete at the state level, possibly earning the right to attend the Scripps National Spellng Bee. We are proud of our 6th Grade students and wish them the best of luck as they work hard to compete while improving their spelling skills.

Our "Steps To Respect" Program will continue this year, with the Grade 3 students being provided with the presentation on January 12th. The program was scheduled for Grades 3-6 students and seeks to help develop positive social and emotional skills through their presentations and materials.
