Your GES PTO is hosting the annual winter celebration for each class on December 21, 2018. Volunteers are called upon to help us make this a special time for our students. Please note that this is not a spectator event, volunteers will be asked to assist with the celebration. All volunteers are required to have a valid background check with HSE Schools and be prepared to show a Safe Visitor Badge. If you cannot locate your Safe Visitor Badge please contact the school office prior to your visit. Please note that the school requests that younger siblings are not to attend the event. Thank you for all that you do!

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!
