Garrison Public Schools Announcement
Due to the bitterly cold temperatures, we want to inform families that buses will be running on time tomorrow morning as scheduled. Dr. Klemisch will be driving one of the routes, and Mr. Dangel will be on standby to assist as needed.
Please ensure that your children are dressed appropriately for the extreme cold, including warm coats, hats, gloves, and appropriate footwear. Safety is our top priority, and while we are running buses as usual, we understand that every family’s situation is different. Parents ultimately have the final decision on whether to send their children to school.
Thank you for your cooperation, and please stay safe and warm!

Giving Hearts Day Contest: Mrs. Fuller is participating in the Community Giving Hearts Day contest. Elementary Student Council would like to have a classroom contest to see which room will bring the most money. The classroom with the highest contribution TOMORROW (THURSDAY) by 11 AM will have students in a drawing to pie Mrs. Fuller at 12:05 in the elementary cafeteria. All money raised will go to the community contest in Mrs. Fuller's name and she might get another pie in the face at 2:00! If you want to see Mr. Dangel, Dr. Klemisch, or someone else get pied instead, go to the bank before 2 PM and put money in their box! Thanks for the help!
