MAKE YOUR MARK!

Join and participate in the GES PTA this year! It is a great way to be involved in your child's educational experience. With every paid membership, your name will be written on a paper hand and placed on the PTA board as showing that "We've Made Our Mark" for our children to see that we support their efforts while at school.

All membership dues this year are $5 (individual or family). The $5 for membership goes to pay state ($1) and national ($1.75) dues.  The rest of the money ($2.25) goes into our general fund to support student activities and supplies used at the school.

We encourage everyone to join the PTA so you can have a "hand" in supporting such a great organization.

Please stop by the GES PTA table on Business Day to learn how you can "Make your Mark" this year.

Kindergarten Orientation is Thursday, August 19 from 1-2:30 where your child rides the bus with you for the first time. Letters were mailed out this past week. Teacher and room assignments were also mailed . This is also Business Day from 3-7 for all families to attend.

PTA Events planned for 2010/2011 School Year:
