They say a school is the heartbeat of a community. At GES, we take pride in creating an empowering and child-centered environment for our students. Now, we are calling on members of the community to help shape the future of our school.
While we've just turned the calendar to July, it's already time to start thinking about the April 1, 2025, election. We have 3 school board members whose term will expire next April. We need dedicated community members to step up and run for the board. Petition filing begins on August 20, 2024, so now is the time to start thinking about this opportunity to make a difference in our school community.
Stay tuned for more details and start envisioning how you can help ensure our school remains a vibrant, empowering, and child-centered place where students and staff thrive.
Being a parent in today's world can be challenging, but you're not alone. Join our fall Parent Book Club to connect, share, and learn with other parents. Choose between "The 5 Love Languages of Children" and "The 5 Love Languages of Teenagers" and discover how to effectively communicate love, manage emotions, and build strong relationships with your kids.
