A Principal's Perspective
I am looking forward to celebrating the holiday season with you at the Rhine's house tonight. When I left for school this morning, I could smell the brisket from the smoker as I got into the car. It smelled awesome! I know it will be delicious for all to enjoy!
There are so many things that we need to check off the list this time of year. I hope that you are able to stop and take time to enjoy friends, family, colleagues and all that the holiday brings. These memories will be a treasure while the checklist long forgotten.

From a GP PTO Mom: I use an Amazon app on my phone all the time. I put items I want into my cart from the app, then I use the Safari browser to go to Amazon Smile and complete the purchase from there. It maybe takes an extra minute once I'm ready to check-out. I do the same on my laptop - I usually go straight to regular Amazon.com because I'm not thinking...load up my cart...then open a new browser for Amazon Smile where everything is already loaded into my cart and check out from there.
GP PTO Thoughts on Amazon Smile: Shouldn't we all be using Amazon Smile, even if it's not for our school? Start asking your friends and family if they use Amazon Smile. It doesn't cost the buyer any money - Amazon donates .5% of all purchases to the elected charity. And those numbers can add up quickly! Let's say we have 100 people support GPE on Amazon Smile. If they each spend $100/month, that's $50/month for our school! $600 for the year! That could cover our STEM night, Fine Arts night, and Book Fair plus some. It could buy all of our STAAR snacks!
Please share out information with friends, family and your GP parents!
Happy Birthday
