🌺 Giesinger Family,
Thank you for your support at McTeacher Night last week. We had a successful book fair and want to thank you for having your child participate. Big thanks to the parent volunteers that helped us run this tiny store every day.
Kona Ice will be here Thursday, if you would like your child to have this tasty treat you can send $3.
Lots of important information is shared below including guidance on pictures Tuesday for Kindergarten and 4th Grade.
Our Fun Run kicks off Wednesday and if we are able to get enough signed up (which is free to sign up) we will celebrate a School Wide PJ Day Thursday!
Thank you for your continued support and we will see you tomorrow Eagles.

Bucks for Books THANK YOU!
Another successful Bucks for Books campaign this year at Giesinger! Thanks to our amazing students and community, we were able to collect over $1,500 and purchase over 100 books from our books fair. These books will be taken to Texas Children's Hospital and donated to their library. Thank you to everyone who brought in from a penny to several dollars. Every bit counted in a big way. Thank you to Mrs. Harvey and the students pictured that helped shop for books. Congratulations to the 1st through 3rd place winners.

2nd Place: Ms. Wood
3rd Place: Mrs. McCracken
Earth Day Plastic Bags THANK YOU!
Our Earth Day plastic bag collection is now complete. We were able to help HEB recycle over 11,000 bags! Mrs. Rodriguez from HEB joined our Wave Club for the final count at last week's meeting. She shared with us that HEB takes all their recycled materials to their recycling center and turns this into their own product line, Field and Future. Thank you to everyone who participated.

On Thursday next week, the teachers will have their second to last Cart Day! YOU have made this a huge success this year and we want to thank you so much. Our cart is running low and we would love to fill it up for the teachers to shop. Below is the Amazon link if you'd like to help.
