We would like to extend a BIG thank you to Kohnen Concrete Products, Inc. for donating and placing the rectangular concrete bollards on the parking lot in front of the addition to the school. Because the lot is used extensively for parking, the bollards serve to protect the building from being hit by a runaway vehicle.
Our Bulldogs won big over Casey in the Summersville Shootout on Saturday, and Sam was recognized as the Player of the Game.

Next week, the Student Council is excited to kick off their fall fundraiser, Basket of Blessings, for the holiday season. The goal is to raise enough money to create and deliver special baskets filled with essential items and gift cards as part of this year’s Christmas Campaign. We will also be collecting non-perishable food items to include in each basket.
This year, we are honored to support 10 Germantown families whom we have ‘adopted’ for the holiday season, helping to spread joy and provide a little extra comfort.
Please join us in making a difference for these families. Your support, donations, and generosity will mean so much.
Last week, we shared how being flexible parents can help us better meet the needs of our children (and ourselves). We can adapt our plans and our mindset to better navigate changes that arise.
Giving choices is another way to be flexible. Life is all about choices. There are consequences (positive and negative) to every choice we make, but we do have choices. By giving our kids choices, we can help them feel more empowered, help them gain independence and responsibility. They likely won’t be nearly as resistant as when it’s “my way or the highway.”
Here are some examples:
Do you want to clean your room now or in 10 minutes?
Are you taking a bath or shower?
Are you cleaning your room tonight, or saving it for Saturday morning?
You may go to your room or go for a walk outside (this is a cue for “I need space.”).
Do you want to take 2 or 3 more bites of your supper?
Are you hanging out with your friends on Friday or Saturday night?
Providing choices is not “gentle parenting.” It is not letting kids have whatever they want. If used correctly, it can be a simple way to get the results you desire in a much healthier and happier way.

Attention Bulldog band parents 🎶
Butter Braid pickup is this Thursday from 3:00-4:30 at the north entrance to the school. All items must be picked up as we do not have freezer space for storage.
For those that ordered through a band member, the band member will pick up and deliver the items. Individuals that ordered online under 'School Orders' are responsible for picking up their item(s).
Feel free to contact the school office at 618-523-4253 with questions.
Germantown Elementary is looking to add Head Coaches to our spring Girls on the Run season.
Run may be in the name, but Girls on the Run is much more than stretches and lap goals. In this after-school program, participants of all abilities learn to embrace their inner strength, make meaningful connections and give back to their communities. Practice will meet twice a week for 75-90 minutes starting in early March, and end with the 5K in Forest Park on May 10th. Coaches will receive free training from Girls on the Run St. Louis (which Illinois teachers can receive continuing education credits for), a free 5k entry, and a program t-shirt.
If interested in serving as a coach for Girls on the Run, please reach out to Kristine Beer at kbeer@ges60.org or 618-791-5615. Girls on the Run is so much fun.

Do you have a passion for working with children? Would you like to work in a school setting with a family atmosphere that embraces creativity and a team approach? Are you interested in working school hours only, so your work schedule is the same as the children in your life? Are you ready for a change in your career? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, this is a great prospective job for you.
Germantown Elementary School is seeking an RtI paraprofessional to work with kindergarten through fourth grade students on their reading and math skills in a small group setting. Hours are 8:30-3:05 every day that school is in session. Candidates must either be paraprofessional certified or be willing to get paraprofessional certified. The certification process is relatively simple, and we will help with this every step of the way.
Now is an exciting time to join our Bulldog family as we are growing. We recently completed Phase I of a construction project, the addition of 2 early childhood classrooms. Phase II will follow at some point in the near future and includes the construction of a new gym. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get a front row seat for all the excitement to come.
If this isn’t enough to pique your interest, our faculty/staff is given the freedom to dress casually every day of the school year. We work hard, have fun, and dress comfortably at GES.
In addition, we have recently adopted a policy granting the children of full-time school district employees the opportunity to attend GES tuition-free. This new policy serves as an added incentive for candidates who value the prospect of sharing their child(ren)'s educational journey within the same school community.
Specific job responsibilities and the rate of pay will be discussed with applicants.
Interested candidates are asked to contact Robin Becker via email: rbecker@ges60.org.
Interviews will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
Join our dedicated team and be a part of a small school with a BIG impact.
