GLES PTA Weekly Update
Monday, January 26th - Sunday, February 1st 2026
Volunteers needed for the Play!
Next week is Play Week and we need parent volunteers! Even if your child is not in the play, we would love to have your help.
We would love to have any High Schoolers who need volunteer hours as well.
Most urgently, we need someone to operate the soundboard who could come to rehearsals and performances Monday - Saturday next week. We can even train you if you don't know how to operate it! This would be a great position for an adult or a High Schooler! If you're interested in the soundboard position, please email Molly (our play director) asap: goldkerrproductions@gmail.com

Classes start the week of Feb 9th (after the play ends)
Registration is still open for most of our after-school enrichment classes! Classes start the week of February 9th (after the play is over).

And we'd love to have a few more kids in these classes too!
- Dance (K-5th, Wednesdays)

Consider donating an item or experience:
Our auction is made possible by the generosity of local businesses and our incrediblt school community. Live auction items are always the hardest to secure, but raise the most funds. If you have the means or connections to do so, please consider donating.In the past, our most successful offerings include:
· Vacation home stays or nights at hotels/resorts
· Unique or exciting experiences
· Premium wine offerings
If you have an idea (or just want to brainstorm) please reach out! We’d love to work through it with you. Contact us! auction@greenlakedragons.org
The best part of the Auction!
Please consider helping your class to create a piece of art to be auctioned off!
We have a step-by-step instruction guide AND you get a budget of $240 for supplies!
Email classart@greenlakedragons.org for more information or to sign up for your class!
We need volunteers- from any grade!
Lessons are every Monday from 9:30 to 10:30 AM at Evans Pool when school is in session, January 26 through May 11. Each second grade class will have 7 lessons. In particular, we need help in the boys locker room and assistant instructors to help in the pool.

First year Treasurer needed!
The Treasurer is a key board member. Responsibilities include writing checks, keeping the books, and giving financial reports and reimbursements. This is a 1.5 year commitment- we need a first year Treasurer to shadow our incumbent, and then take over the reigns for the 26-27 school year. Please contact anyone on the board for more info. As with all PTA roles, you will be supported by a kind and helpful team of volunteers.
We've started a Discord Server for our school community! Join today and we will help get you started, including linking you into your child's grade level community. We can also connect you to rapid response and mutual aid groups in the area.
See you there!
Laura Love, PTA Room Parent Coordinator
