FOLSOM HOUSE CARE CLOSET DRIVE
THROUGH FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7
Many local students in our community go without food and basic essentials each weekend. GHS teachers are addressing this need through the Folsom House Care Closet, and OGS is helping by collecting non-perishable food and hygiene items in a labeled bin in the front lobby. Suggested items include soup, white rice, canned tuna, pasta, granola bars, shampoo, and soap. Items can also be shipped directly to Folsom House Care Closet at Greenwich High School. Families who would like to contribute larger donations or have GHS students who would like to help with drop-off should reach out to coordinate. Thank you for supporting GPS students in need!

SCHOOL PICTURE ORDERS & RETAKES
Your child should have brought home a proof sheet with a custom code, and ordering instructions. Shipping to the school will be free for orders placed by Friday, November 14.
Robert Taylor will return to the school to photograph absentees and re-photograph any students who are dissatisfied with their portraits on Thursday, November 13. Students are asked to bring their proof sheets with them to the retake.
