Community Spirit
♻️Recycling and Community Spirit♻️
Our school generates A LOT of recycling. Have you ever wondered just how our small learning community manages the flow of all this material? The answer is, "it takes a village " and every member of GES plays a crucial role. Responsible purchasing, use, and reuse of materials are the essential first steps in managing and reducing waste. Lynx (5/6) students collect and sort recyclables in the shed where our dedicated recycling volunteers (Shout out to Joni and Nathan Kristenson and the Moody family!) pick up materials and deliver it to the recycling center. We also have community members saving bottle caps for our bottle cap mural and donating aluminum cans for our building fund!
We are still DESPERATELY in need of a volunteer to take. We are in need of someone (or several folks) to be in charge of hauling aluminum can donations from the trailer on the Gunflint Trail to property on Devil Track Road once a week. "Can" you help?
Creating a sustainable and eco-friendly environment is an ongoing process that requires the commitment and cooperation of our entire learning community.Thank you for your help which actively allows us to work continually towards this goal!

Construction Update
We're About to Go Vertical!
We are so grateful to the Crawford Excavation crew for pulling out all the stops to finish our foundation work before we head into the deep freeze! When you are on campus, or driving by, you will notice materials being prepped for the erection of the exterior walls.
