Hoping you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends! I enjoyed having my son home from college and my little gang back together again! Would love some feedback as we hope to finish the back building up soon. It's taken way longer than expected, so I am anxious to get in there!

Many of you were active members at the Robot Garage when it was here in Grosse Pointe Park. I have been talking with a few people about getting a Lego group going for elementary age students and see how that goes. It can lean towards a robotics class or simply just stay Lego building, but would love your feedback!

Also, any suggestions of courses or activities you would like to see at GPI4L? Send them our way! The back building will be more of an open concept and will allow for different types of activities!

Here is what's coming:

*New SAT and ACT Prep Courses are scheduled for early 2022! If you are interested in either course, please reach out as space is limited!

*College Essay Writing is scheduled for early 2022, as well!

*The Whole Child taught by an Occupational Therapist

*Orton-Gillingham 

*My Worried Mind coming in 2022!

*Birthday Parties

*Summer Programs will be announced in late March!

As we enter the craze of the holiday season, take time to be present and enjoy it. I am grateful for every single family that has trusted us with your children. Happy Holidays!

The GPI4L Staff!

I just want to thank you all for the roller coaster ride this week! There were lots of scheduling issues and it made for a very stressful week for many, including me. As stressful as that all was, the minute I was in teacher mode with your kids, my world was suddenly right again! I enjoyed EVERY second of all of the different age kids I had the privilege to teach this week! 

Thank you for working with me to ensure your kids have a safe place to come and learn that supports their online experience. I posted many pictures on Facebook and Instagram, so hopefully you follow the GPI4L page so you get to see your child in action! If you selected that you do not give permission to post pictures, I will not post a picture of their face, but I may cover it up with a sticker. 

Please note that Mrs. Brengman and Ms. Husk will not be here next Tuesday and I will be the sub! 7th graders WATCH OUT! LOL! Then, moving forward we have added ANOTHER teacher to the mix! Ms. Claeys is an amazing math teacher from Pierce. She will be taking on the Tuesday and Wednesday groups and Ms. Husk will be the Thursday teacher for Math. Ms. Husk needed to lighten her load as she took on a new role as a guidance counselor and is feeling a bit stretched and did not want to compromise quality! Mrs. Brengman has been retired for a few years and is slowly working back into the game. She is enjoying her time, but is still finding her sea legs!

The staff is growing, but my goal is to provide top notch service. Feedback is not only welcome, it's appreciated. I care what your kids say. If something isn't great, I NEED to know. If something IS great, I WANT to know! 

Enjoy your weekend with this beautiful Fall-like weather!

Just to make sure everyone knows, the schedule will go as planned this week! NO CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE YET. Any changes made will take effect next week once I finalize the schedule. Thank you!
