Glenwood Springs Elementary School is nearly 100 years old!
GSES has been serving our community since 1921. Today, our historic building and surrounding campus provides public education for nearly 600 preschool through fifth grade children from the Glenwood Springs area. Though we have great students and a wonderful, dedicated group of teachers and administrators, our facilities are in need of improvements and our kids are in need of up-to-date technology.
This year, we're trying a different approach to fundraising. Instead of sending our kids out door to door selling gift wrap, candy or asking for Math-a-Thon pledges, we're hosting Kid's Night Out events, Chili's Give Back Nights, and our biggest fundraiser yet - the Grizzly Grape & Grain fundraiser that will be held in April.
We've set lofty goals - more than $25,000 - in order to help bring the following Grizzly Wish List items to our kiddos and our school:
* New flooring in the dining den
* New playground equipment
* Books for the book room
* ELMO Document Readers
* LCD Projectors
* Smart Boards
* iPod Touches
* iPads
* Field Trip Funds
It sounds crazy, but with the support of you, our awesome parents and our incredible community, this is an attainable number to reach!
We're currently looking for corporate sponsors and silent auction donations - if you or someone you know would be willing to support a good cause, we'd love to hear from you!
Please join us in helping our kids succeed!
Our next fundraising meeting will be held on
Wednesday, January 19th at 6 p.m. in the GSES Library
Can't make the meeting, but still want to help?
