News from Head of School - Kathy Miner
Dear GAA Parents,
Learning continues at GAA during the Holy Month of Ramadan with interesting and engaging projects and activities. We encourage school attendance through the end of the year. The last day of instruction will be Thursday, July 2.
As we wrap up the year, I’d like to recognize the support of our parents in helping us grow and develop as a school this year. We have made great strides in organizing our procedures, improving communication and in developing our academic programs. We appreciate the partnership and support we have received from our parent community this year. We are a strong school with a vibrant community and we look forward to yet an even stronger year in 2015-2016.
A huge Thank you to all our parents who served on our GAAPA team. Your work, energy and support is very much appreciated. You have brought much to our school this year in terms of building and supporting the entire GAA community.
