From the Desk of Dr. Ricks
Happy Episcopal Schools Celebration Week! GES is proud to be part of such an historic network of excellence in education, and this week we celebrated our church-school partnership. Please review our mission statement with your children...if they recite it to any teacher during the Month of October, they can earn a free dress day pass!
What a wonderful way to kick off our Annual Fund! Our "change for change" campaign was such a success, and it warmed my heart to see the children bringing in their coins to support their school. More information is on the way, and we are counting on you to help make the 2018-19 Annual Fund Drive the best yet.
Finally, this weekend promises to be one of cooler weather, so please rest, recoup, and enjoy quality time as a family.
Warmly,
Dr. Ricks
