Since
1984, the National PTA has designated the first full week of May, Teacher
Appreciation Week. At GES, we have some extra special daily themes planned for
them and need your help to make this a success. This year, SOL testing is going
on simultaneously and class parents of grades 3-5 coordinate breakfast each day
from May 1-18, for the students taking them. PTA provides some of the funding
and we understand that many parents are volunteering for both.

Parent Volunteers

vases for Friday’s flowers. Parents are already
in place for T/W/Fri cafeteria so teachers can eat.
