The GES #60 Raise the Roof Campaign is an ambitious endeavor that seeks to construct a new gymnasium, a space that will serve as a sanctuary for physical development, teamwork, and personal growth. As our school district expands, so do the needs of our students. With an increasing enrollment, our current gymnasium is bursting at the seams, unable to accommodate the growing demand for athletic programs, physical education classes, and extracurricular activities.
The vision for this project is not merely about erecting brick and mortar; it is about investing in the future of our children. A modern and spacious gym will provide them with the resources and opportunities they deserve, nurturing their physical wellness alongside their academic achievements. It will foster a sense of community, bringing together students, faculty, and families in a shared pursuit of health, fitness, and camaraderie.
To turn this vision into a reality, we face a critical challenge - a funding gap of $750,000. But we firmly believe that within our united community lies the power to overcome any obstacle. Together, we can raise the roof, quite literally, and create a space where our students can reach new heights, discover their potential, and forge lifelong bonds of friendship. We invite you to join us on this extraordinary journey of transformation. Your support, whether it be through generous donations, volunteer efforts, or spreading the word, will make an indelible impact on the lives of countless students for years to come. Together, let us build strong minds and strong bodies, empowering the leaders of tomorrow and strengthening the foundation of our community.
A Capital Campaign Committee was established in August to help us in our efforts to fill the funding gap. Through the committee’s hard work over the course of the past seven months, we have put together an event called the Raise the Roof Rock Fest.
We hope you will join us for the Raise the Roof Rock Fest on Saturday, September 21, where afternoon will fade to night as 5 different bands will rock out on two stages. Rock under the stars by fueling up with expertly crafted eats from a huge variety of food trucks, and ICE cold refreshments. Enjoy our small town park atmosphere with general admission, or upgrade to VIP passes to get up close to the action on the stage. For the ultimate experience, reserve a table close to the stage with access to a private concession stand tent and dedicated restrooms. Whatever option you choose, you are sure to enjoy our small town with BIG sound!
Headlining the event is Vince Neil, the legendary front man of Mötley Crüe! The legendary classic rock band Head East is opening for Neil. Local favorites Joe Dirt, Taco Truck, and Cheers Band will also perform.
Tickets for the event will go on sale Friday, April 12, at 8AM! Tickets will be available at www.germantownrockfest.com.
All proceeds will be allocated to the "Raise The Roof" campaign for GES District 60.
