Principal's Message:
Happy Friday, Giesinger families!
It was so good to welcome our Eagles back on Wednesday. We missed them, and I loved seeing their smiling faces come through the doors!
One thing we love to do at Giesinger is celebrate! Today, some of our Eagles got to ring the Bell of Excellence right outside my office. When I hear that bell ring, I know it’s time to get out the pom-poms! Great job to all our bell ringers today. I’m so proud of you!
A few reminders for next week
Monday, November 9 — Join us for Spirit Night at Texas Roadhouse!
Tuesday, November 10 — Progress reports will go home and will also be available in the Parent Portal.
Wednesday, November 11 — It’s class picture day! Veterans Day
Thursday, November 12 — Our third graders will perform their musical for families at 6:30 p.m.
This weekend, ask your Eagle, “What’s one thing you did at school this week that made you proud?” Sometimes the little moments are the ones they’re most excited to tell you about.
Thank you for sharing your children with us. Have a wonderful weekend! I look forward to seeing many of you at Texas Roadhouse on Monday night!
Your Proud Principal,
Angela Fonville

This special Veterans Day program will honor the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces and recognize the veterans who continue to make a difference throughout our schools and community.
The program will also feature a JROTC pass-in-review, with cadets coming together in a special military-style formation to honor our veterans.
