Water Main Break / Wasserrohrbruch
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2025
Our school has experienced water damage due to a water main break in the neighborhood. Preschool, SEL, and grades 5–12 are operating as usual.
IMPORTANT: The elementary school building is currently being restored to a usable condition; therefore, we are unfortunately unable to offer regular classes or supervision for grades 1–4.
Please keep your children in grades 1 to 4 at home on Friday, December 5.
The Newbees canceled the Newbees Breakfast.
We are closely monitoring the MCPS decision for Friday in case they announce a delayed start due to the weather.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

WICHTIG: Das Grundschulgebäude wird derzeit in einen nutzbaren Zustand gebracht, daher können wir für die Klassen 1–4 leider keinen regulären Unterricht und auch keine Betreuung anbieten.
Bitte behalten Sie Ihre Kinder der Klassen 1 bis 4 am Freitag, den 5. Dezember zu Hause.
Die NewBees haben das Newbees-Frühstück abgesagt.
Wir behalten die Entscheidung von MCPS für Freitag im Blick, falls aufgrund des Wetters ein verspäteter Schulbeginn angekündigt wird.
Vielen Dank für Ihr Verständnis und Ihre Unterstützung.
#FuF4future: Big Fundraiser
Halloween Treat for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation
On Friday October 29th, 2021 the #fuf4future AG held a Halloween bake sale during the lunch break with sinfully delicious cupcakes, cookies, cake pops and other sweets, in an effort to protection and saving of the Chesapeake Bay.
The crowd of monsters, zombies, vampires, aliens, witches and other ghoulishly beautiful creatures was huge and the treats sold freakishly fast.
Thanks to the support of the entire GISW community including our wonderful Griffin through cake, in-kind and monetary donations, the Halloween bake sale to benefit the Chesapeake Bay Foundation was a huge success. In total, we are able to donate a mind-blowing $750 to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation to make a small difference in stopping the scary threat of climate change and pollution in the Chesapeake.
To all the small, big, scary, and not-so-scary donors, who supported our fundraiser and without whom it would not have been such a success, a big thank you!
The #FuF4future Team
