Thankful
Robotics
Congratulations to GHES Robotics students and coaches their hard work and incredible efforts this season! The two GHES Robotics teams competed at the State Qualifier in Rock Hill on November 17. The Robotic Stars team took home the Core Values Award! In addition to the GHES teams, 4th grader Abby Schueren's all girls community team won first place overall and is headed to the state championship! We also had two other 5th grade GHES students, Andrew Ibbetson and Elion Church qualify for the state championship by finishing 2nd overall and first in Robot Games. This team is also comprised of former GHES students, now 6th graders. We are extremely proud of our robotics teams and can't wait to cheer on our students advancing to the state championship on December 15.

Celebrating a Birthday at School
- Communication is key! Communicate with your child's teacher at least two weeks in advance of the date that you'd like to come in.
- Understand that you may not be able to celebrate on the actual birthday (there could be many reasons for this, including a scheduling issue, testing that day, too many treats in one day/week, etc.)
- Our space is limited in the cafeteria, and our schedule is tight on a daily basis. Therefore, we cannot accommodate a birthday "party", meaning no balloons, cake, goodie bags, etc.
- If your child's teacher allows for a treat to be provided, it must be store bought or purchased ahead of time through the cafeteria. No home baked goods allowed. Consider a mini cupcake or donut versus larger items. When children consume a treat, it can be difficult for them to regain focus upon returning to class after lunch. We want to maximize our instructional time!
