Lets start the week off by celebrating a few of our students.
Pictured are three of Mrs. Ladd's 5th graders, who achieved milestones in their lives. Evan has just been promoted to Middle School band at GHS and Lucas and William became the first two 5th graders to show mastery in multiplication and division (facts 0-12’s) and are now doing Mad Minutes simplifying fractions. Congratulations!

Mrs. Wells first grade students have been exploring patterns in math class. They created this quilt and they worked with it all last week, counting by 5's, finding out how many starfish legs are on the quilt, and more! Her class LOVES making learning fun with crafts and hands-on projects!

Bookfair tonight 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm, come check it out, lots of cool stuff!




The weather has certainly changed over the last few weeks and we feel like "Old Man" winter has just about arrived. In an effort to promote as much outside time as possible please remember that students need to have the proper gear to go outside. We are well past sweatshirt weather and have moved into Jackets at the very least, with snow pants, hats, mittens, and boots coming not to far behind. Please send you child to school with layered options as we prepare to change seasons. Once it snows students need to have snow pants, boots, jackets, hats, and mittens in order to play in the snow.
If you are having a tough time securing the proper gear for your child please contact the school so we can provide some assistance to you.

Happy "Merry" Halloween everyone, from all the staff at GES! Hope everybody has a fun and safe evening! More Fall Festival pictures coming soon!

**REMINDER** Fall Festival-October 31st, 2023. Students will participate in fall-themed games and activities as well as enjoy some tasty fall treats. The day will end with our annual costume parade starting at 2 pm. Costumes must be appropriate for school. Link to flyer: https://5il.co/27rap
