GFE's PTO is the best! Our parent/guardian volunteers work extremely hard to raise money and support every student and teacher. From classroom items, to helping beautify the campus, bringing in performers, providing lunch or readers, and much more, the PTO does it all.

We are grateful for the unwavering love and support from our PTO and encourage you to join this incredible group of volunteers!
