Principal's Corner

Picture Retake Day will be on Tuesday, November 17th.

*Retake day is for new students, transfer students, or for anyone who may have missed the initial picture day. Additionally, we welcome anyone who was unhappy with their original picture and would like to give it another try. Retake photos automatically replace original photos in school services and yearbooks. If a student chooses to retake their photo, please have them return the original picture package to the photographer on picture day. We will replace it at no additional cost.

If this is the first time being photographed, the student will have their picture taken and we’ll create a proof for them that will be sent to the school. These proofs will be delivered approximately 4 weeks after picture day. An order code will be on the proof along with ordering instructions.

Garden Clean Up - RESCHEDULED

Warm regards,

Turkey Trot!

After the heavy rain on Thursday afternoon and the early morning snow on Friday, it was a little touch and go as to whether we could hold our annual Turkey Trot this week. Fortunately, Mother Nature cooperated and we were able to end our week with a fast paced and fun trot. Many students completed over five laps, with some students reaching double digits! One lap equals approximately 0.15 miles, so that means those with 10 or more laps traveled over 1.5 miles. Way to go turkeys!

At the conclusion of the trot, we gathered our back to draw names for the three raffle prizes. This years winners are....

Matthew F. in Kindergarten - Turkey
Oliver S. in third grade - Stuffing
Kolton K. in fourth grade - Cranberry Sauce

Congratulations to our winners and to all those students who beat the goal they set for themselves.

Next Week's Special - Art

Ms. Gentilhomme will be back at GES for another week of Art.

In fact, Ms. G will be with us until the Thanksgiving break.

Late Fall/Early Winter Weather is Not Too Far Away

Our fall weather has been very mild, but wintery weather and bitterly cold temperatures are fast approaching.

As colder temperatures and wintry weather become the norm, I want to remind everyone that we go outside for recess when the temperature drops to 10 degrees Fahrenheit, with the wind chill factor included. We have used this temperature cut-off for many years. The importance of having children dress appropriately when they leave home, to be prepared for any weather event Mother Nature sends our way, cannot be overstated.

Since snow, ice, or extreme winds can arrive unexpectedly, children should be prepared to come to school each day with a hat, gloves or mittens, and a very warm coat. Students should also have winter boots and snow pants once there is snow on the ground.

If you would like assistance getting these items for your child, please contact our school counselor, school nurse, or principal.
