International Dot Day @ GFS!
International Dot Day is Sunday 9/15/19 and GFS staff and students in many ways in honor of the book, The Dot, by Peter Reynolds. The day was all about "making a mark and seeing where it takes you." Risk-taking, pure, honest, creative energy and encouragement made this celebration an especially fun one.
In recognition of Dot Day, GFS artists from Ms. Robinson's class created and displayed dot art.
