Wait Until 8th! Sign the Pledge

 

Garrett Park parents have been discussing the harms caused by social media and smart phones on kids' mental health.

​

Many Garrett Park parents have signed the pledge to delay giving their child a smart phone until 8th grade or later. You can join them and sign the pledge. 

​

Please note that the pledge is for parents of children of all ages (not just 5th grade).

​

Thank you!

Garrett Park Recognized as a Maryland Green School!

Thanks to the hard work of the GPES staff, administration and the PTA Green Committee, GPES is now recognized as a Maryland Green School. GPES is now part of a national and international community working to create a more sustainable future. Each year GPES students will develop a greater understanding of their local environment and use their voice and leadership skills to encourage others to recycle and compost, plant vegetables and native plants, using refillable water bottles to reduce plastic waste, and be more mindful of simple steps like turning off unnecessary lights.

This is a huge accomplishment! Read more here
