Dear Families,

We are fortunate at GFES to have so many extra opportunities for instructional enrichment and family partnering.  Last night we had our annual Family Science Night.   We had an incredible turn out!  Each station related to a science field and our teachers did a great job facilitating the experiments with our community.   I hope you enjoyed the evening as much as the GFES staff did.  Check out the photos below!

Mark your calendar now – the annual Bingo Night will be held on Friday, March 16 at 6:30 pm.  This is a fun-filled evening for the entire family.  The prizes are great and you won’t want to miss this event!

This coming Monday, February 19, is Presidents’ Day.    Presidents’ Day is an American holiday celebrated on the 3rd Monday of February to honor George Washington, the 1st President of the United States and all that have served.  George Washington was born on February 22, 1732.  Check out the fun word search below.

Please keep in mind the importance of attendance for your children.  This is especially true as we move into the SOL test period for grades 3, 4 and 5.  There are ways you can help your student prepare by making sure they get a good night’s rest and have a healthy breakfast every day.  In addition, regular attendance also enhances your child’s ability to learn and retain information thus allowing learned them to perform at their highest level.  And finally, your attitude as parents toward school and SOL testing is a key factor.   Please relay to your children the importance of school and how a good education opens many doors for their future. 

Thank you for supporting your child’s teacher and for partnering with GFES.  I believe all of us together can have a significant and beneficial impact on our students’ academic achievement

Sincerely,

Cynthia Choate
