Everyone Counts is this week!
Hey Gator families! The time has come for our annual Everyone Counts event! This important event aims to teach our students about differently-abled peers, and the inclusion and acceptance that we should all be striving to achieve. The students have so many great learning experiences with these discussions/activities. However, we could not make this possible without the help of our wonderful parent volunteers. We will be asking that each classroom have a minimum of 3 parents to help run activities (that will be provided by the Everyone Counts team). Please contact your child’s teacher to sign up! The dates and times for each grade is as follows:
Day 1 Feb. 12
2nd grade 9:35-10:35
4th grade 10:45-11:45
Kindergarten 12:00-1:00
Day 2 Feb 13
3rd grade 1:15-2:15
1st grade 2:25-3:25 (no early dismissals)
calling all volunteers!

GATOR REWARDS OPPORTUNITIES
Do you shop at Amazon or Kroger? If so, there is an easy way to donate a portion or percentage of your purchases to Geist Elementary. Although the percentage may seem small, the total amount back to GES adds up significantly the more people that register! These rewards programs do not cost anything to sign-up and are easy to register by using the following steps:
Amazon: Anytime you make a purchase on Amazon, go to Amazon Smile to shop at www.smile.amazon.com. Choose Geist Elementary PTO, Inc as your supporting organization and GES will receive 0.5% of your total purchases.
Kroger: Register your Kroger Plus Card at www.Kroger.com/account/enrollCommunityRewardsNow. Then, sign into your Kroger account and link your card to GES’s organization number which is GU130. Then, shop and swipe your Kroger Plus Card at the checkout and GES will earn cash! We had about 140 registered cards last quarter and GES earned over $4400 last year!
