Spring Fling Update!
Thank you so much to all of our families who contributed or attended the Spring Fling on April 18th! As all programs at Gerner are funded by state, federal or tuition provided by families, any technology or playground equipment is purchased through fundraising.
We raised $4908.25 as a building. Funds will be used to purchase the final two smart boards for Miss Fales' and Mrs. Powell's classrooms. Additional funds will be used towards PBIS incentives for students and staff and ECSE/Title I fall 2015 field trips.
Due to the inclement weather that day, the train and bounce houses will be here on May 21st for students to enjoy during their outdoor play times!

End of Year Celebration for 2015 Kindergarteners ~ May 15th
The End of Year Celebration is on Friday, May 15th. ECSE / Title I families need to arrive by 5:45 p.m. at the Park Hill High School Auditorium. Tuition Preschool families need to arrive by 6:45 p.m.
Seating is first come, first serve. Parents will first watch a slide show as students are preparing to enter the auditorium. Students will provide a wonderful singing program and then will exit out of the auditorium. Parents will pick up their child at the designated location and sign out through the teacher. It is crucial parents do not take their child without signing out for student safety.
More information about parking, classroom locations, etc. will be coming out the week prior to the End of Year Celebration.
