Our Read-A-Thon is scheduled for May 20! Our students look forward to this day every year! To help us out, we are looking for donations of 8 oz. bottles of water for students to stay hydrated while they read. We need 180, but if we get more, we will use them on Field Day (May 29)! Again, if you are able to donate, we prefer the small, 8 oz. bottles. Thank you!

Come cheer on Ghent's Run Club during the Elementary Run Race at Little Beaver on May 12! Our kiddos have been working hard and improving each week!

One of our favorite things about Ghent Elementary is that we're a community school! We love opening our playgrounds and fields after school hours to the community to play and exercise. Please help us keep our facilities and grounds in top shape! We've recently had some joyriders tearing up our grass in our upper field. Talk to your kids about respecting the property so we can keep it a safe, fun, and beautiful place for our students and community! Thank you!

Tomorrow (Wednesday) is a 3 hr. early dismissal. GES students will be dismissed at 12:20pm. There will be NO after school care!

Spring Photo orders are due first thing tomorrow morning! (Tuesday, April 21)

Congratulations to Ghent Elementary Teacher of the Year and Raleigh County Schools Finalist, Tara Dillion! We're proud to call you a Lion! Thank you for all you do for our Lion Pride!
