PTA Meeting - Monday, Dec 12th from 5:30 to 6:30 pm

Hello GSES community -

Happy holidays!

Join us Monday, December 12 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. for our monthly PTA meeting in the GSES library. As always, we'll be offering FREE CHILDCARE! It's going to include a great, informative presentation by RE1 Assistant Superintendent Brad Ray on the new gradebook system in the Parent Portal. This is a fabulous resource for keeping tabs on all of your RE-1 students' progress in their classes - not just at GSES but district-wide.

Following our regular PTA meeting, we'll have a short planning session for our Fundraising Committee
. In order to continue to provide the level of support to our school and students that we have in the past, WE NEED MORE VOLUNTEERS! The fundraising committee will meet from approximately 6:30-7:30 p.m. at the latest. If you can pop by and help in any way, it would be very much appreciated!!!

Here's a quick rundown of Monday's agenda:

Be sure to invite a friend - we'd can't to see you there!

***Our goal is to do a large fundraiser in the spring for our school wish list items. In order to put on a large event like our Pasta La Vista pasta dinner/silent auction last April, WE NEED YOUR HELP! Instead of overwhelming every PTA agenda with fundraising items, we need to set up a separate fundraising committee that would meet outside of the PTA meetings and report to the PTA board. REMEMBER: Any help you can provide is fantastic! Please let myself or Katie know if this is something you can assist with. Even if you can't make the meeting, we can still find a spot for you!***

Thank you to each and every one of you! Your support this year has been amazing - we couldn't do it without you!

Sincerely,

Jessica Stott
