REMINDER: Per the student handbook (pg. 7), students are not permitted to bring metal water bottles to school. Water bottles must be plastic and only contain water. If you have any questions, please contact the office.
We had our first prize drawings yesterday for our fundraiser! Congratulations Dani & Jude!!
The next drawing is tomorrow (Friday). Students who have sold 4 items can turn in their tickets for the drawing.
REMINDER: Our Playground PTO Meeting is at 3:45 this afternoon! Please join us!
We want to clarify some information for our fall fundraiser: All students will participate in the "Mega Party" as we are going to use these inflatables at Field Day; however, if your student sells 12 or more items, he/she will get an extra hour with the inflatables! The students who sell 30 and 50 items will get their extra prizes during that extra hour.
We wanted to make that clear before the fundraising begins! We know it's a lot of work, but we appreciate all of the effort to not only make our Field Day a great day for our kids, but also help us replace our outdated signage on our property!
If you have any questions, please reach out to the office.
Join us for our first PTO meeting of the year tomorrow, Tuesday, September 1! We will meet on the playground under the awning, so your kiddos can play while we discuss things such as Santa's Workshop, dances, and more! We need your help to make GES a fun place to learn & grow!
