October 7 Announcements

Yamboree is around the corner.  The town is a buzz of the upcoming festivities to celebrate one of the best traditions in the state of Texas.  I hope you have a great 3 days next week celebrating with your friends and family.

Report cards are coming out on Thursday.  If you have a question about your child's report card, please be sure to contact your child's teacher first.  They can answer all of your questions about your child's grades, learning and behavior for the 1st 6 weeks.

Our first CHAMPs assembly is this Friday.  Times are listed below, so come celebrate all of the great learning behavior and attendance that we have had this first 6 weeks of school.  It is going to be a great day.

Our next college day will be on Thursday, October 31.  Please join us in promoting a college and career culture at GES by buying a college tshirt the next time you go to the store.  Wearing a college shirt is one way that we help kids believe that they are going to college.

Speaking of T-Shirts.  We have GES t-shirts available for purchase in the office.  If you would like to buy one, stop by the office and order yours today.  They are very cool, and we have several colors to choose from.
