Thank you for your support of Artsonia this year! We raised over $1000 for the GES art program. This money is used to purchase supplies your child will use next year. The GES artists are very appreciative!--Ms. Green
Don't forget Father's Day is June 19. You can still make purchases in the summer through Artsonia to get a personalized gift for dad! You can even download the Artsonia app on your device to upload artwork your child makes in the summer. GES Art receives 20% of all purchases. Email Ms. Green if you have any questions: egreen@hse.k12.in.us. Have a artful summer!

Does Your Child Have Medicine in the Clinic?
Dear Geist Parents,
As we head into the last few weeks of school I wanted to remind any parents who have sent medications to school for their children, that we will be sending All medications home with them on the last day of school. If you want to pick them up instead of having them sent home with your child, you must make arrangements with the clinic in advance. This includes Epi Pens, Inhalers, prescription and over the counter medicines. For those whose child has an Auvi-Q epinephrine device, we will Not be accepting them next year due to the recall of the device. Call the clinic if you have any questions and have a Wonderful Summer!!
Your Nurses,
Kristin Carnovale RN
Laura Phillips RN
Is your background check current?
If you need a new background check click here. It is suggested you complete this application before school starts in August so you don't get caught up in the new-year crunch.

Fishers Parks & Recreation Celebrates Fathers with Special Program
Let’s face it, finding a gift for the world’s best dad, or father figure, can be really difficult! Instead of buying another neck tie, consider creating a gift he’ll cherish for years to come. Join Fishers Parks & Recreation for Father’s Day Pottery on Saturday, June 11 from 1 to 2 p.m. During this program, your child ages 2 through 10 can turn their hand into a paint brush as they create the perfect hand-print coffee mug!
All supplies are provided during this program and finished mugs will be available a week after the program, just in time to be wrapped and delivered. After children have the opportunity to create their mug, the entire group will enjoy reading, “Daddy’s Are For Catching Fireflies.” Father’s Day Pottery costs $15 for residents and $23 for nonresidents, and registration can be completed online, today!
POPULAR SUMMER READING PROGRAM RETURNS TO LIBRARY
From June 1 through July 31, the popular Summer Reading Program will return to the Hamilton East Public Library. Each year, thousands of readers - infants, youth, teens and adults - participate in this special program. Prizes are awarded to participants who complete the requirements for their specific age category and may include coupons to area restaurants or attractions, gift cards, books and more. Beginning May 1, readers of all ages can register online at hepl.lib.in.us or by visiting the Noblesville Library or Fishers Library! Then on June 1, it’s time to start logging the number of pages you’ve read!
Highlighting this year’s Summer under the Stars – Celebrating 200 Summers in Indiana theme, the library has planned numerous programs and adventures. Start exploring the rich history of your community through a countywide passport program developed by the five library systems across the county and Hamilton Tourism. Learn something new and collect a stamp for each location you visit.
At both the Fishers Library and Noblesville Libraries, the entire family can enjoy a wide variety of programs, many highlighting all the things that make Indiana special – the state fair, monarch butterflies, birds, gardens, camp outs, and more! Professor Steve will amuse and delight on June 9 at the Noblesville Library as he presents the Science of Basketball. Learn more about Hoosier critters as Animali’s Indiana Animals brings a red-tailed hawk, opossum, raccoon, skunk and map turtle for you to experience at the Fishers Library on June 9 and then the Noblesville Library on July 28. On July 29, you won’t want to miss Summer Reading Program finale events at both library buildings.
For a full listing and specific details about the library’s programs, visit their calendar of events at hepl.lib.in.us.
