Introducing our Summer Challenge Series. The weekly challenge will be posted every Monday in June and July. This week's challenge for all of our Bulldog families is to focus on providing your child(ren) with the 13 things they need more of!
Are you up to this week's challenge? Let's dive in together and invest in the social emotional well-being of our Bulldogs.
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? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, this is a great prospective job for you.
Germantown Elementary School is looking to fill a full time substitute teacher position for the 2023-24 school year. This position entails covering maternity leaves and any other miscellaneous faculty and staff absences for the 2023-24 school year. While certification to teach in Illinois is preferred, substitute teaching certification meets the requirements of the job.
This position would be great for someone yet to find a teaching placement who would be interested in a secure job at one school as opposed to working in many different schools. It would serve as a stepping stone for other potential teaching opportunities in the future and allow for the candidate to gain experience in a multitude of classroom settings.
It would also be the perfect position for someone that needs a change. Maybe retirement is right around the corner but the demands of being a full-time classroom teacher are just too much. This position is a happy medium between retirement and being solely responsible for a classroom.
Now is an exciting time to join our Bulldog family as we are growing. We started a new Transitional Kindergarten Program in the 2022-23 school year, and on June 5 we will begin a 2-phase construction project with the first phase being classrooms. 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 peak 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.
The salary will be competitive and discussed with the candidates during the interview process.
Interested candidates are asked to contact Robin Becker via email: rbecker@ges60.org, school phone: (618)523-4253, or cell phone: (618)830-5209. Interviews will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
We would like to thank the Germantown Spassfest, Inc. for making a $1500 donation to the school district for a new walking bridge to be installed on the play structure across the street from the school. Spassfest Committee member, Mike Bruns, is pictured presenting Superintendent Becker with a check in front of the new walking bridge.
Today we celebrate the members of the GES Class of 2019 as they prepare to graduate from high school. Bulldog Country stands proud of you.
#OnceaBulldogAlwaysaBulldog
Thank you to the PTA and our wonderful parents for coordinating and helping making our last day of school extra fun with all of the Field Day activities. It takes a village, and we have a great one in Germantown.
It is the mission of Germantown Elementary School District #60 to educate all children to the best of their abilities through the cooperation of school, home, and community. The District, in an active partnership with parents and community, promotes excellence in a caring environment in which all students learn and grow. Through this partnership we hope to empower all students to develop a strong self-esteem and to become responsible learners and decision-makers. Attainment of our mission is determined by student academic achievement, social development and positive attitude toward learning.
The Honor Roll program at Germantown Elementary School District #60 recognizes the academic achievement of all fifth through eighth grade students. Students with a grade point average between 3.76-4.0 earn a place on High Honor Roll while students with a GPA between 3.5-3.75 are designated as Honor Roll recipients.
It is our pleasure to recognize the 4th Quarter Honor Roll recipients. This honor is a direct result of hard work and dedication.

Eighth grade ELA read 332 books this year as a class! Each student met the 15 book independent reading challenge, and 16 met their personal goals as well! Way to go 8th graders. We are so proud of you!
At last night's Awards Banquet we also recognized our 8th grade golfers and their parents. With all practices and matches being away, it takes lots of dedication on everyone's part to make the season a success. We appreciate our athletes and their parents for their commitment and support throughout the season.
This was our inaugural year for Cross Country, and our 8th graders stepped up in a big way to get the program started on solid footing. At last night's Awards Banquet, we recognized these 8th graders and their parents for their role in establishing the inaugural Bulldog Cross Country program. Their unwavering support, dedication, and determination laid the foundation for future athletes to follow and paved the way for a successful journey ahead.
At last night's Athletic Awards Banquet, we saved the most important award for last, the Scholar Athlete Award. This award is presented to Bulldog athletes who earned a place on Honor Roll every quarter of the school year.
Being a scholar athlete is a testament to the power of balance, discipline, and dedication. It signifies the unwavering commitment to both academic and athletic pursuits, embodying the true essence of a well-rounded individual.
The importance of being a scholar athlete lies in the invaluable life skills it instills. By excelling academically, these athletes demonstrate a commitment to their studies, time management, and the ability to prioritize their responsibilities. They show that success in the classroom requires effort, focus, and hard work.
Simultaneously, the athletic aspect of being a scholar athlete emphasizes the significance of physical health, teamwork, and perseverance. These athletes learn the value of hard work, resilience, and pushing their limits. They understand the importance of collaboration, communication, and supporting their teammates.
Being a scholar athlete means going beyond mere participation. It means striving for excellence, constantly seeking improvement in all aspects of life. It requires sacrificing personal time, overcoming obstacles, and maintaining a strong work ethic.
Being a scholar athlete serves as an inspiration to others. It showcases that achieving greatness is not limited to one sphere of life. It demonstrates that with determination and a balanced approach, one can excel in both academic and athletic endeavors.
The impact of being a scholar athlete extends beyond the individual. It fosters a culture of success, setting a high standard for future generations to aspire to. Scholar athletes become role models, inspiring their peers and leaving a lasting legacy within their school community.
Ultimately, the importance of being a scholar athlete lies in the lifelong lessons it imparts. It prepares individuals to face challenges head-on, instilling in them the drive to continuously learn, grow, and achieve their full potential. It cultivates a well-rounded character, equipping them with the skills necessary for success in all areas of life.
While we are proud of our athlete's accomplishments, our primary focus is their commitment to being a well-rounded student. The student comes first, and the athlete comes second.

Happy Friday Bulldog Country. Check out the upcoming events scheduled at GES.
Huge congratulations to Abi for her outstanding performance in the State Golf Tournament yesterday. This was her second year in a row qualifying for the State Tournament. Last year, she carded a 108. This year, she finished with an 88. A 20 stroke improvement from one year to the next is quite remarkable. Placing 6th out of so many talented golfers is no small feat. Abi is proof that hard work and dedication pays off.
Bulldog Country stands proud of Abi today. She participated in the SIJHSAA State Golf Tournament at Rend Lake Golf Resort. On the front 9 she carded a sizzling 41 and wrapped up the back 9 with a 47. Finishing with a score of 88, Abi tied with three other golfers for 4th place overall out of 43 golfers. Due to a tie breaker, she ended the day in 6th place. What a stellar finish to her GES golfing career.
Congratulations to Abi and Coach Murphy on a job well done!
