Save the date and save your cans! The Gananda Girls Soccer program will be holding a can drive on October 12.
Please help support our Gananda Girls Soccer program by leaving your empty cans and bottles in bags by 9 am on your doorstep or driveway. The soccer athletes will be around to collect them. You can also drop your cans off at the elementary school from 9:00 am-12:00 pm.
Thank you for helping to keep the soccer program strong!
Your PTO Calendar Now Available
We are excited to announce the creation of a Gananda PTO 2019-2020 Calendar. The calendars contain district news along with student artwork.
The calendars are $5.00 each and can be ordered by emailing the Gananda PTO or messaging them on the Gananda PTO Facebook Page.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the calendars will be donated to the art department in each of our three buildings to help supplement their materials & supplies budget for the 2019-2020 school year.
Reminder: All Chromebooks need to be fully charged when brought into school each day.

French Students Are Coming!
Gananda French and Spanish students will be hosting 15 French students from our sister city Rennes, France beginning Friday, October 11. Exchange students will be staying with their host families until Monday, October 21. During their stay, French students will go on various field trips including a trip to Watkins Glen, Niagara Falls, downtown Rochester and Ganondagan. Typically our students treat the exchange students sporting events around the area, which the French love because it is unlike anything they have in France. They also enjoy the haunted hayrides and corn maze, which is also very American. We share this exchange with the Honeoye CSD and will attend a dance in Honeoye the Saturday before they leave to go home. This will be the third time that we hosted a group from France and it will be the fourth time we go to France in the spring. This is always such a wonderful learning experience for everyone involved and our students are really excited for the French to get here!
