Message from Mrs. Sheppard
Dear Graham Families,
We have noticed in the past week or so, an increase of toys, purses, and very large water bottles being brought to school. While we understand that some of these items may be special or comforting to students, they can also become very big distractions in the classroom and at lunchtime. When toys are brought to school, they are often lost, broken, or they end up going missing; so therefore we ask that they stay at home. Students that bring large water bottles will have to keep them in their backpacks because they are constantly toppling over and spilling everywhere. They are welcome to bring a smaller water bottle instead. The Stanley water bottles are much too big for their desks and they are also very top heavy. Purses must stay inside of backpack as well. We do not allow students to carry bags throughout the building for safety purposes. Thank you for working with us to create a calm, focused, and safe environment!
