Top of the mornin' to ye! Take a gander at the jolly festivities happenin' at GES next week.

Through the Coining 4 Kids fundraiser that was sponsored by the Student Council, our school community raised almost $1500. Some of the money raised was used to make Summer Fun Packs for Coping 4 Life with the remainder being presented as a cash donation.
