There is a lot going on next week! We kick off the week with Halloween which is always fun. The parade will begin at 2:45 and the parties will take place in the classrooms following the parade. The parade will be inside and outside, along the front and side of the school.

Next week we will also have our Book Fair. For your shopping convenience, our library staff has graciously scheduled 2 evenings for you to have a choice of when you want to come to GRE to shop the Book Fair. The family shopping nights will be Tuesday, Nov. 1 and Wednesday, Nov. 2 from 5:30-7:00.

In addition to Halloween and the Book Fair, we will also have our FOOD DRIVE to benefit families through BLAS. The Food Drive will be Nov. 1-10. Please see below in our newsletter for a list of recommended items to donate. Students enjoy seeing if we can get enough donations to make a train all the way around the school so thank you in advance for your donations and for helping families in need.

Thanks to all who participated in the fun spirit week for Red Ribbon Week this week! Many of our GRE staff members were able to get together for a quick picture in our red/white/blue this morning!

The Book Fair is Coming! The Book Fair is Coming!

GRE will hold their book fair, in the library, from Monday, Oct. 31- Friday, Nov. 4. The fair will be open each day from 9:00am – 3:30pm. Students will be able to shop during their library class time AND when it is convenient for their teacher.

We will have 2 family shopping nights this year! Tuesday, Nov. 1 and Wednesday, Nov. 2 from 5:30pm-7:00pm. You are welcome to come either night that works best for you. As always, we appreciate the support of reading and the library.
