DEVELOPMENTAL KINDERGARTEN ANNOUNCEMENT: We are looking forward to the Baldwin Heights Developmental Kindergarten "Informance" on Wednesday, February 22nd at 2:50pm in the Baldwin Heights Media Center. An Informance is like peeking into music class and seeing the process rather than the product. This allows students to experience music rather than put pressure on a child to perform. We look forward to this event!

BH PTO Reminder: SchoolStore is underway. If your family has not participated, there's still time! Thanks to all the families who have already participated in our SchoolStore fundraiser! We are on our way to reaching our goal, but we need everyone's help to make sure our teachers get the essential tools they need to help our students succeed. This safe and easy fundraiser is 100% online so there is no face-to-face selling, collecting money, or delivering products. Your child will receive a prize just for participating, and more prizes will be awarded when goals are reached. Please help now. It really will make a difference.

Greetings Greenville Public Schools Family!
It's that special time of year where GPS staff, parents, and students tempt fate and plunge into the icy waters of a frozen lake to benefit the Special Olympics. The Polar Plunge will again be close to home at Turk Lake and take place on Saturday, February 4th. The Special Olympics do some pretty amazing things for some of our very own students right here in Greenville. It's a very worthwhile organization and this event is one of their biggest fundraisers.
If any of you are brave enough to join the other crazy people, it's really not too bad....just a bit of a shock to the system! It's for a great cause. If you'd like to join the Frozen Jackets, please email Mr. Walsh (Principal of Baldwin Heights Elementary and Captain of the Frozen Jackets) at mike.walsh@gpsjackets.org.
If you'd rather support the Frozen Jackets by donating some much needed funds, please donate ONLINE by going to this website: https://give.classy.org/frozenwalsh23. Click on the "Donate" button and follow the directions.
