❤️🐾 What started with one $32 donation turned into something pretty special!
Last week, we shared the story of Silas donating $32 of his own saved money toward our new gym. Since then, members of our Bulldog community stepped up to “match Silas,” and those donations just kept coming!
Altogether, the Match Silas effort raised an incredible $1,448!
The students pictured represent just some of the families who contributed. We had many more students, families, staff members, and community members donate, and we simply want to say THANK YOU! Every donation, no matter the amount, continues to move us closer to making our new gym a reality.
With these donations, our Final Push has now raised $320,415! Combined with our Rock Fest proceeds, our community has raised an incredible $695,415 — 92.72% of our goal!
It is pretty amazing to see what can happen when one student's generosity inspires an entire community to step up. ❤️🐾
We’re getting closer, Bulldogs! Let’s keep pushing toward that finish line! #BulldogsUnite

🛒 Learning came to life at Germantown Groceries!
Students put their math skills to work by “shopping” at Germantown Groceries and calculating the unit price of different grocery items. This hands-on activity gave students an opportunity to practice an important math skill while also seeing how it can be used in everyday life.
We love seeing our Bulldogs learning through experiences that connect the classroom to the real world. Great job putting those math skills to work! 🐾

It is pretty special to see another group of our students find their own way to support our new gym. This group set up a lemonade stand and raised $350 to donate to the project!
Seeing our kids excited about the future of their school and willing to put in their own time and effort to help make it happen is one of the many reasons Germantown is such a special place.
This brings our total to $318,967 raised in our Final Push! Combined with our Rock Fest proceeds, we have reached an incredible $693,967, which is 92.52% of our goal!
What an incredible effort by these students! #BulldogsUnite 🐾🍋

I had a special visitor stop by my office this week! ❤️🐾
Silas Beer came to see me because he wanted to make a $32 donation toward our new gym! When I asked Silas about his donation, he told me how much he really wants to see the new gym become a reality and that he thinks a lot of other people will be excited about it too.
What makes his gift even more meaningful is that this was money Silas had saved himself. That says a lot about how much this project means to our students.
Thank you, Silas, for believing in our new gym and choosing to be part of making it happen!
With Silas's donation, our Final Push has now raised $318,327! Combined with our Rock Fest proceeds, we have reached an incredible $693,327 — 92.4% of our goal!

And a little bit of first-day excitement coming through! 🐾

Student Handbook Update – Allergy Awareness
We wanted to make families aware that we have updated our Student Handbook to include additional information regarding allergies and allergy management at school.
The safety and well-being of our students is always a priority, and awareness and communication are important in helping us support students with severe or life-threatening allergies. This may include allergies to certain foods, medications, insect stings, latex, or other allergens.
If your child has a severe or life-threatening allergy, please make sure the school is aware. We encourage families to work with the school to ensure the appropriate health and emergency plans are in place. Our parent-student handbook can be located on our website at: https://www.ges60.org/documents/handbooks/20414510
Thank you for helping us keep GES a safe and supportive environment for all of our students!
