Mr. Vos's 4th grade and Miss Lindsey's Pre-School classes made and delivered May Day baskets to all of the GES faculty and staff members. It brought a smile to many faces today :)

Kindness Club members spent their last meeting sending encouraging words, friendship bracelets, and stuffed animals to students in surrounding districts that were affected by last week’s tornados.  

Mrs. Lindsey’s Preschool classes had their monthly guidance lesson with Mrs. LaMountain. They ended with a group hug! They love their time with her!

If anyone has glass baby food jars that they can donate for a 4th grade project for Pioneer Day, please send them to school and direct to Mr. Vos. Thank you in advance!
