Harvest of the Month - MAPLE SYRUP
The Vermont Harvest of the Month is MAPLE SYRUP! Students put their measuring and mathematical skills to the test by making maple cookies. They came out delicious AND they even had frosting on them.
Pancake Breakfast
Yesterday, we opened our doors at GES to welcome our wonderful community and families for a delightful pancake breakfast. A huge thanks to our Climate and Culture Committee for their exceptional planning and for whipping up some delicious pancakes that everyone could enjoy! Your hard work and dedication truly made the event a success. Thank you for bringing smiles to our faces and warmth to our hearts.
Enjoying pancakes with Plummer's Sugar House maple syrup is pure happiness. The fluffy pancakes perfectly match the rich syrup's flavor. It's like a taste of nature's goodness in every bite, reminding you to appreciate life's simple joys.
A heartfelt thank you to our amazing PTO for their generous financial support, making this event possible. We're immensely grateful to Plummer's Sugar House for providing their fantastic maple syrup, adding a special touch to our gathering. And a big shoutout to all the dedicated teachers and staff at GES for their hard work in organizing and bringing everything together. Your contributions made this event truly memorable. Thank you!
Letter Formation
Kindergarteners learning to form letters is a heartwarming sight. Our students explored letter formation with their white boards and a marker. Through fun activities and perseverance, they embark on a journey toward literacy and communication, one letter at a time.
