Our GES 5th grade students went through a promotion ceremony on Wednesday May 22nd at 6pm. We celebrated the many accomplishments of our 5th grade students such as:

*Music Awards

*High Fitness Awards

*Recognition of Quarterly Award Recipients

*Spelling Bee Awards

*Yearly Perfect Attendance Awards

*Falcon Award

*Presentation of Promotion Certificates

Thank you to all of our GES staff for helping to make this day so special for our students!

GES held our annual Preschool Graduation on Friday May 24th. Our preschool students were very excited to walk across the stage and to perform for their family and friends.

Thank you to our preschool staff for putting together a great program for our students and their families.

Once again GES had an amazing year end field day thanks to Mr. Jacobs and Mr. Blosser. Our students and staff all enjoyed the beautiful weather while participating in a variety of activities to test their throwing, strength, running, jumping, dodging and we all just had a lot of fun together!

We were finally able to hold our Tasty Traditions Foam Party for those students who sold 15 or more items during our Fall Fundraiser. The students seemed to have a great time and many students even said, "this is the best day ever"! The foam party was a huge hit with the students.

Did you know GES announcements are almost entirely led by our students at Graham Elementary School? How awesome is that!
