Garden Road
Science Corps
Dedicated to creating and funding a solid
scientific foundation for our youth.
This year Garden Road has a new volunteer
organization called the Garden Road Science Corps. The Science
Corps is exclusively devoted to creating more opportunities for scientific
learning in our school on a daily basis. As part of this program, we
are excited to introduce the Science Corps' Shoebox Science Program!
This year, students will be able to participate
in our new Shoebox Science Program available in the library.
Individual science experiments in a box will be available for students to
check out and explore at home, and then return to school just like a library
book. If you are interested in letting your child be involved in this
exciting program, please fill out the consent form your child brought home and return it to school.
Parent participation is vital to this program.
Please consider donating time or sponsoring a kit. If you are
interested, contact jlogan13@cox.net.
Please note the following information regarding the shoebox science program:
1) Some kits contain materials that are potentially harmful if
swallowed, such as small, pointed objects and objects made of glass as well
as common household products such as ammonia. Appropriate warnings are
included in the instructions.
2) The shoebox science kits will be checked out through the school
library. Students may check out one kit at a time and keep it at home
for one week. Only those students with completed consent cards on file
will be allowed to check out kits. Only 2 to 4 kits are allowed per
classroom per week. By signing the card, you agree to accept
responsibility for replacing lost or damaged kits. In the event a kit
is damaged, you will be sent an itemized bill.
Box Tops Really Count!
Garden Road has collected
over 10,500 Box Tops, and raised over $1,000.00
for our school so far this year! The more we clip, the more we earn for
our school. Clip Box Tops from your favorite products and turn
them into your child's teacher. Ask your family, friends and neighbors
to clip them too.

Congratulations to Mrs. Coson’s outstanding
group of runners for winning the coveted Golden Shoes for the month of
October! In November we are giving our runners a “sister class
challenge”. The sister class team with the most laps per student
through December 4 will each win a pair of golden shoes to
display in their classrooms for a month. This means that the younger
runners are counting on their 3rd-, 4th- and 5th-grade
friends to step it up! The winners of this competition will be
announced at the December 12 Friday Flag. Have fun encouraging each
other to new levels of fitness!
Remember, the Golden Shoes will change hands (or feet, as
the case may be) monthly. Each month is a new opportunity
for all classes to go for the gold, since each month is
totaled separately.
