Thanks To all who made the gator gallop and fall festival a success!
We hope all of our families and students enjoyed the day on Friday for Gator Gallop and the evening for Fall Festival. The planning for this huge day of fundraising begins long before the previous school year ends and we would not be able to pull this off without an amazing group of volunteers and the support of all our families, staff, students and the administration. We want to thank all of our committee chairs for their dedication and commitment to such a huge day at Geist Elementary. Our volunteers are simply and truly the best in the district. Thank you to our Gator Gallop & Fall Festival committee along with our dedicated Executive Board members that helped support our efforts throughout the day.
We will be excited to announce the results of this tremendous day of fundraising in November once we have all of our fundraising information available.
Please help us in extending our thanks and gratitude to all our volunteers for a job well done.

GATOR REWARDS OPPORTUNITIES
Do you shop at Amazon or Kroger? If so, there is an easy way to donate a portion or percentage of your purchases to Geist Elementary. Although the percentage may seem small, the total amount back to GES adds up significantly the more people that register! These rewards programs do not cost anything to sign-up and are easy to register by using the following steps:
Amazon: Anytime you make a purchase on Amazon, go to Amazon Smile to shop at www.smile.amazon.com. Choose Geist Elementary PTO, Inc as your supporting organization and GES will receive 0.5% of your total purchases.
Kroger: Register your Kroger Plus Card at www.Kroger.com/account/enrollCommunityRewardsNow. Then, sign into your Kroger account and link your card to GES’s organization number which is GU130. Then, shop and swipe your Kroger Plus Card at the checkout and GES will earn cash! We had about 140 registered cards last quarter and GES earned over $4400 last year!
Join Us in Supporting Schools
From August 6th through November 2nd, we will be donating 5% of participants' orders back to your school!
