Thank you GSIA and all of our Tiger families for all your support of and love for our school. #tigerpride
We are grateful to the GHS students who came out to play for everyone, paint faces, set up and clean up, and judge the costume contest! It was so good to see so many TV alumni all grown up and serving others! Our younger Tigers look up to them and love seeing them!
Our 5th grade class will be collecting donations for a red, white, and blue arm band to support our local VFW Post 1990 and veterans! You may send money to school for donations from Nov. 3 - 15.
Info about VFW:
VFW HISTORY
The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States is a nonprofit veterans service organization comprised of eligible veterans and military service members from the active, guard and reserve forces.
The VFW traces its roots back to 1899 when veterans of the Spanish-American War (1898) and the Philippine Insurrection (1899-1902) founded local organizations to secure rights and benefits for their service.
Many arrived home wounded or sick. There was no medical care or veterans' pension for them, and they were left to care for themselves.
TVES will be collecting donations for the victims of Hurricane Ida in Lousiana.
