November Greetings, GES Families!

The days may be short this time of year, but at GES, they are packed with activity!  Students at all levels are actively working on their Self-Portrait projects, putting much thought and effort into their work.  More information on the culmination of this work will be spotlighted in next week's newsletter.  

This week's GES news is packed with opportunities and information!  Please give the office a call if you have any questions.

The students in the Wolves East class have been making the most of the beautiful weather we've been having this fall, and they enjoy spending parts of each day outdoors. At Magic Circle Campfire, students ask each other thought-provoking questions each week, and get to learn more about their classmates through sharing their answers. The Wolves have also helped in the apple orchard by painting the apple trees. The paint protects the bark from splits and damage, and will help ensure our trees are healthy for years to come.
