Students had a blast at our annual Tiger Trot! They rotated through four different team-building activities and enjoyed a tasty popsicle treat.

A huge thank you to Erica Hollar and Christie Duerden for organizing the event, and to all the volunteers who made the day a success. We also want to thank everyone who contributed to our fundraiser—we truly appreciate your generosity! We have raised $16,000 towards our $18,000 goal. If you'd still like to donate, the link will be open until the end of September.

GRE has been awarded as a Purple Star School in March of 2025. The Purple Star Award recognizes schools that show a major commitment to students and families connected to our nation’s military. Angela Gould, the GRE Media Specialist, is working to identify children who have a parent who serves or who has served in the United States Military. As a military parent, please fill out the following information below. The information will be used by Angela Gould to bring these military children together to create a Purple Star Club, if you would like your child to join. The Purple Star Club will bring these military children together to build connections and support one another. Please fill out this Google Form in order to gather the information necessary for our Purple Star Club.

Thank you in advance for your time and supporting our military families.

If you have any questions, please contact Angela Gould at gould_angela@dublinschools.net.
