GOK Weekly News
Week of April 21, 2025
Hello Georgia O'Keeffe Families,
We have many families who have not yet registered for the 25-26 school year. If your child will be returning to GOK next school year, please register them ASAP so that we can complete student placement. If you have a child in grades kindergarten to fourth grade who will not be returning to GOK next school year, please email me at gaillour@aps.edu and our clerk Aysun Bodur Gallup at aysun.bodurgallup@aps.edu to let us know. Thank you!
GOK 2025-2026 Registration Process
Respectfully,
Cindy Gaillour, Principal, gaillour@aps.edu
and
Kristina Anderson, Assistant Principal, kristina.anderson@aps.edu
Bring your garden tools, gloves, wheelbarrows, etc.!
The weather is getting warmer and the butterflies are already out and about. We have bees pollinating the trees and flowers and it is time to start planting and getting ready for the spring and summer seasons. We are hoping families would be so generous as to choose one or more of the following to donate to our amazing outdoor learning spaces at GOK.
-
Large Bag of Topsoil.
-
Large bag of compost.
-
Gallon Perennial plant/flower already established. If you would like to donate this and would like more information about what supports pollinators at our school please contact Mr. Grainger at james.grainger@aps.edu
If you would like Grainger to pick up the materials please contact him and he will be happy to help.
Help our school garden grow! 🌱 Your donation supports hands-on learning, healthy work ethic, and a greener future for our students. Every bit helps—thank you! 💚
