1 The Bear Bulletin Clover Garden School I enjoyed the opportunity to see so many of you at our recent Art Show and Band Compe on last weekend. I know your students work hard and were proud at both events; I know I was! This week we also enjoyed the Career Expo. Our students got to experience and interact with over 40 different business professionals from around Alamance county and the surrounding areas. Report cards for the first nine weeks have been sent home. If you have concerns about your student s grades, please do not hesitate to contact his or her individual teacher. Remember, you are also welcome to include me or Mrs. Vereyken in on any types of communica on as well. We will be happy to talk with you on the phone or schedule a mee ng to talk together regarding ideas to help make your student successful. Please don t ever hesitate to contact us we want to help. In light of unfortunate recent events that have occurred within the community, we want to make sure that you know that CGS is taking every precau on necessary in order to protect your students. Please be sure to speak with your child about Stranger Danger and how to be alert and aware of their surroundings at all mes. This is for all ages, not just our younger students.
