We encourage all of you to join the PTA. This is such a wonderful organization that gives back to the school. We challenge you to become involved at the school and sign up for one of the committees. In order to be completely successful, we need everyone's help.

We need every parent to take an active role in the school. Joining and participating in the PTA is a great place to start. It is only $4 for a single membership and $7 for a family membership. If you haven't signed up yet, please don't delay!
Please join us- WE NEED YOU!

We also have many committees setup that you can help with.

GES PTA Committees: 2009 - 2010

This year there have been some slight modifications to the committees. Please consider signing up. You can sign up at anytime. Many committees need a chairperson or co-chairs as well as as many committee members as possible to share the responsibilities. Just contact a board member or e-mail through this site.


Standing Committees:
comprised of committees that remain intact throughout the academic year to support multiple projects or ongoing programs. Chairs of these committees are part of the PTA’s Executive Board of Directors.
Event Committees:
comprised of committees that come together to coordinate and organize a particular event or program.
Each committee has its own blog and the active ones are on a blog roll on the right side column. Feel free to check them out to see what is going on.

"How can I be of help?" she asked,
"I have a good idea," he said,
"Here, hold my hand," she suggested,
"We'll do it together," they offered.

"We'll be right here until it's done."
"Let's do it this way, its more fun!"
"It's what we're here for it's no fuss."
"Call us back if you should need us."

"She needs our help, God bless her heart."
"Oh, I'm just glad to do my part."
"Walk with me, I'll show the way."
"Goodness no, I don't want pay."

"You can do it, I'll show you how."
"You need it when? I'll do it now."
"If you need anything I'm right here."
"Who am I? A volunteer."
