Message from Mr. Romeo
Greetings from GES!
Thank you to our Gainfield families for their support of this year's Veterans Day Celebration. In addition to our video tribute to the United States Armed Forces, each of our classrooms welcomed a veteran for a "virtual visit." A proud day at GES!
As we look ahead to Thanksgiving Recess, a reminder that Region 15 Schools will be closed for three full days (Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday). This is a change from recent years when Wednesday was an early release day. For a peak at the Region 15 School Calendar, click here!
Enjoy the weekend!
Sincerely,
Jon Romeo
Principal
Sunflower Tile Mosaic Project Update
And a special shoutout to our custodial team for their work in getting the piece installed for all to see!
Toys for Tots Drive
Toys for Tots is back at Gainfield School!
Please consider donating an unwrapped toy to the Toys for Tots drive starting Monday, November 15th. Your support will give less fortunate children in our community something to look forward to during the holiday season. The last day to bring in toys is December 1st.
Thank you!
A MESSAGE FROM MRS. ALDIERI
Hello GES families! My name is Erica Aldieri and I am the elementary school social worker for Region 15. I would be grateful to connect families with resources that are available in our community. If you are interested in learning more about resources that include financial assistance, holiday support programs and more, please email me at ealdieri@region15.org. I look forward to hearing from you!
Spring Author Visits
With that in mind, feel free to visit the websites of author Ryan San Angelo (kindergarten and first grade) or Phil Bildner (second, third, fourth, and fifth grade) to learn more about this year's authors.
