Third Grade Send-Off (3GSO)
The Third Grade Send-Off (3GSO) is an annual tradition in Belmont. At Wellington, it is a celebration held just for the third graders and their parents/guardians to commemorate the end of the students' time in elementary school and the transition to upper elementary school: Chenery. In addition to fundraising during the school year (Spirit Wear, Moozy's Day) and some funding from the PTO for souvenirs, third grade families are asked to make a small donation for a special celebration. Please note that all third graders and their parents may fully participate in the event regardless of whether or not a contribution is made.
