A Message From Dr. Ricks
Parents and Friends,
Happy Holidays! Spirits are high as we work our way towards our Christmas Break. Thank you for helping your children with our Sock Drive. And a special thanks to Gretchen Pettis and the GES Gator Squad for providing the inspiration for this service project. We collected over 1500 pairs of socks! This is an amazing number and will go a long way towards providing comfort for those in need during the next several months.
Our school service of Lessons and Carols is Wednesday, December 16 at 8:00 a.m. This Chapel is always one of the high points of the year and is a wonderful service for you to attend with your children.
Warmly,
Dr. Beth J. Ricks
Head of School
