Celebrations and Brags
As we enter the long part of our school year, i wanted to take time to give "Thanks" for each of you at GBE. We often take for granted the everyday and those in it. Please take time to give yourself some credit for all you do here each day. It may not be said daily, but you are noticed and needed! Thank you again!
Star Staff for the Week- be sure to use your Reserved Space for Parking!
Lexa Brooks, we want to take a moment to celebrate your fun attitude as a second year teacher on our team. You are taking time this year to make sure that our staff know how much they are valued with your work as a Co-Chair on our Staff Appreciation Team. Thank you!
Abby Smith, has a huge heart for her work with each student as well as the student she works with one on one. She will forego her own break to work with students if they have a need in the room she is assisting. We are lucky we have such wonderful people on our staff that put our children before themselves.
