Happy Friday, Eagle Families!

What a wonderful week it has been at Giesinger! These four-day weeks sure do fly by! I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend and that our Eagles are settling into our new school schedule. Thank you for helping us make the transition to our new 7:50 AM start time a smooth one! Just a friendly reminder that our doors open at 7:15 AM, students are considered tardy after 7:50 AM, and breakfast is served until 8:00 AM.


One of my favorite parts of being a principal is walking through our classrooms and seeing the incredible things happening each day. From the excitement of learning something new to the kindness our students show one another, there is so much to celebrate at Giesinger. Our teachers pour their hearts into making school a place where children feel loved, supported, and challenged to grow. I couldn't be prouder of our Eagle family!


We have some exciting events coming up next week!


Breakfast with Buddies – Thursday, October 22 | 7:30–8:15 AM

We are excited to welcome our Eagle families for a special morning together! Join us for breakfast and enjoy some quality time with your favorite Eagle before the school day gets underway. We love opportunities to bring our families into the Nest!


Giesinger PTO Dance and Trunk or Treat – Friday, October 23 | 5:30–7:30 PM

Get ready for a fun-filled evening with our Eagle community! Our PTO and our staff are working hard to make this a special event for our families. We can't wait to see everyone enjoying an evening of dancing, laughter, and memories together!


The weather is looking beautiful for the weekend, and I hope you find some time to get outside, enjoy the sunshine, and make memories with the people you love.


Thank you for sharing your precious children with us each day. It truly is a privilege to be part of their lives, and I am so grateful to be part of this amazing community!


Get Your Eagle On!


With Eagle Pride,
Angela Fonville

The Giving Market

Great news, Giesinger families!


Our Giving Market fundraiser items have officially been delivered to your child's classroom and will be COMING HOME Today!


A FEW THINGS TO KNOW:


🎒Students will be allowed to bring their fundraiser items home today.


🚗 If your child had a large number of sales, we encourage you to make arrangements to pick up their items from school rather than having them carry everything home.



A big THANK YOU to all of our amazing students and families for making our Giving Market fundraiser a success! We truly appreciate your support and everything you do for our Eagles!
