GES PTO Newsletter
SUMMER UPDATE EDITION
Updates from your GES PTO Board!
We hope that you have had a relaxing and fun summer with your family! Your GES PTO board members have been meeting to plan some incredible family fun for the upcoming school year. This newsletter includes some information about some of the upcoming events to kick-off the school year. There will be information sent home with your child in the first few days of school on how you can participate in the events planned for the year. We will have a 2023-2024 PTO & School Event Calendar magnet for each student again this year. They will be ready for your student at Open House. Please stop by our table in the cafeteria at Open House to check out all the volunteer opportunites for the upcoming year as well!
Your GES PTO Board,
Sheena, Brenda, Paul, Dana, and Megan

Food Trucks for Open House
Doughlicious will be joining us once again for treats available at Open House on August, 30th! Grab some sweet treats and hang out with other GES families to help celebrate the new year ahead!
Mark your calendars for our Fall Carnival!
We are excited to share that we will be hosting a Fall Carnival! This will be a great opportunity to meet families in your child's new class, enjoy a great day full of games, and grab dinner! Don't worry, the Packers play at noon, so you won't miss a thing! We will need a number of volunteers to help run games and serve food. Please consider signing up for a spot (don't worry all slots are set up so that you can still enjoy the other half of the event with your family! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0C44AFAD28A3FD0-gesfall
Quick PTO Update: We have decided NOT to do a traditional fall fundraiser with ordering items out of a catalog, so we are going all-out to make this an experience that we hope you will not only support by attending with your family but also support with your wallet. It is our goal to raise enough money through this event to fund ALL of our PTO events throughout the year (Trunk or Treat, Painting with Parents, Goodies with Grown-ups, Field Day, etc.), as we are focusing on bringing our GES families together next school year more than ever! It takes all of us, in many ways, to make these memory-making experiences happen, and we share in the struggle to fit things into a tight calendar, but please know that we appreciate you, your time, and your kindness to make GES more than a school, but a community.
Thank you!
