Happy Spring, GES Families!

It's so good to be able to finally say that it looks like spring is here!  Yay!  With the change in weather, the winter items in the Lost & Found have been forgotten.  There are very nice hats, gloves and jackets that will be brought to the thrift store when school ends.  Please remind your child to check for missing items - and check it out yourself, when you come for Portfolio Night (sign up info below)!

There are a lot of activities taking place in the last weeks of school.  Please check the Dates & Events section, below.  There have been updates added since last week.
