HELLO GES FAMILIES!
HELLO GES FAMILIES!
Good afternoon SCOUT families, I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend with their SCOUTS! We are all very excited to honor our Veterans on Monday morning. Breakfast will be provided for our Veterans once doors open at 7:00. Veterans are encouraged to come in, eat some breakfast, talk with other Veterans and staff members. Our program will start at 7:45 and run until approximately 8:20. We are asking all students to wear red, white, and blue on Monday. Be sure to thank a Veteran for all that they have done to provide freedom for our country!
We are also celebrating World Kindness Day on Wednesday. Have your SCOUT wear blue on Wednesday.

Save the Date - December 5th Holiday Curriculum Carnival 5:30 pm
Our two words this week are EMPATHY AND RESOURCEFUL. EMPATHY is the ability to put themselves in someone else's shoes and understand what they are feeling or experiencing. RESOURCEFUL means someone who can use what they have to achieve goals, overcome challenges, and think creatively. We encourage students to use these words in conversation, look for them in books, and we've challenged them to teach you about them and discover other ways they may be used or found in everyday life.
Congratulations to our GES 2024-2025 Teacher of the Year, Wade Hasty! We appreciate you! Thank you for caring for and helping our Scouts reach their full potential!
