News From Social Justice Committee
This month WE TAKE CHARGE of our environment and learn ways to help make our community and planet a more sustainable place for the future. Our Social Justice group is making announcements this month about the little things we can do to make an environmental impact here at St. Gabe’s! Our first challenge is to bring a reusable water bottle to school, it’s so easy to just fill up at our water fountains!
To help encourage all students to be more water aware, we are selling reusable St. Gabriel water bottles for $3 all month. These bottles will also be available for purchase at Meet the Teacher night on Sept. 24!

Scholastic is committed to helping us inspire young readers, and their new name reflects this mission.
