GHR PTO has also adopted a family through Coventry Human Services for the holidays this year. We need your support to provide holiday gifts for this family. Gifts can be sent in to school, unwrapped, through December 6 marked "PTO Adopt a Family." Please consider picking something up to brighten their holidays.

Lastly - less than 3 weeks until CCMC PJ Day For The Kids! PJ Day GHR Save the Date.pdf .This event began here in Coventry and has raised over $4M for pediatric cancer research. More information will be coming next week for celebrating PJ Day in school and our amazing PJ Movie Night and Raffle at Coventry High School on Friday, December 13. If you're shopping this weekend consider picking up a super soft throw blanket, small toy like Hot Wheels or Barbie, or small denomination gift cards to places like Amazon, Starbucks, DD, Panera, or Target to donate to PJ Day. These items go directly to patients at CCMC and help brighten the days of the kids who wear their PJs not because they want to, but because they have to.
From Last Week
Youth Services: Safe@Home class
Students in Grades 4 to 6 are invited to participate in a Safe@Home class, which is a free 90-minute class that will teach 4th – 6th grade students the skills to be safe when home alone. Students will learn how to practice safe habits, prevent unsafe situations, what to do in case of power failures or weather emergencies, and how to assess and respond to injuries and illnesses. The class will be held at Booth & Dimmock Memorial Library during winter break on December 27th from 10 AM – 11:30 AM. Parents can register their child by calling Youth Services at: (860) 742-5324. A flyer can be found in the digital backpack for additional information.
