WE NEED YOUR HELP!
The GES PTO is in need of new members! Wondering how you can help? There are lots of opportunities to support the PTO and our students and teachers! The PTO provides financial and volunteer support for incredible enrichment activities and events for all our students each year. We have several fundraisers each year, including the annual Fall Mum and Spring Flower sales, Read-a-Thon, Pizza and Holiday Gifts.
Activities like this year's Circus Residency, last year's NHDI Dance Residency, STEM days, Art Days and Field trips are all possible due to the PTO fundraising and support. We can't provide these enrichment activities without their help!
Is the day and time of meetings what is keeping you from joining? No worries! They are flexible and open to changing the day and time to meet the needs of more families! Maybe meeting right before or after school works better! They can meet most any day! Would an online option work better for you? They can do that! Is the monthly meeting too much of a commitment? They are open to trying something different and meeting fewer times each year! Did you know they provide FREE childcare during the meeting?
Wondering what the PTO Officers do and if your skill set might be a perfect match? Check out the job descriptions:
President-responsible for running all meetings and coordinating the work of the officers and committees.
Vice-President-supports the President and performs the duties of the President if they aren't available.

Meetings will resume next fall, so be on the lookout for more information then!
