The school clinic is in need of spare pants to give to students that may need a quick change of clothes!

Girls sizes 10-12

As your children are outgrowing their clothes and you have pants in good condition please consider sending them to the school!

Donations can be sent to school in a bag labeled “clinic”. Thank you!

We will be rewarding students for their hard work on their recent NWEA testing with a popsicle treat on Tuesday, December 12th. Please read the attached nutrition information. If you do not want your child to have the Fla-Vor-Ice Popsicle, you may select an alternate treat or opt out altogether by completing the online form here.

We are looking for a couple of volunteers to sign up during their child's lunch period to assist in handing out popsicles. Click here to sign up!

We had so much fun amping up and hosting movie nights this past week! We would like to extend an extra special THANK YOU to our amazing Movie Night team: Kyla Wagner, Alisha Ware, Molly Belling, and Stephanie Wolfe. These ladies put it many hours and sprinkled in a lot of fun in order to make this event happen for our students- we appreciate you! We would also like to thank all of the parent and teacher volunteers who signed up to help us pull off this event. We could not have done it without you all.

"Today a reader, tomorrow a leader."- Margaret Fuller. This past week we were SO excited to finally unveil the much anticipated Book Vending Machine! Some of our Gators of the Month were able to join Principal Thomas, Gator-Ade, and PTO Presidents to be the first to get a book from the vending machine.

Our Staff Appreciation team treated GES staff with tasty muffins this past week!
