Boosterthon Fun Run
Committee Members Needed
Want to help but don't have much time? This would be a perfect opportunity for you! We are looking for help to reach out to our local business community to help sponsor our upcoming Boosterthon Fun Run in June. These sponsors will help ensure that EVERY student will get a cool GBE Spirit shirt to wear at the FunRun on June 9th. Please reach out to Patrick at programs@gbepta.org for more information.
Underwear & Pants Needed!
GBE is in need of all sizes of kids' underwear and pants. Underwear must be new and unused while pants can be gently used but MUST be recently washed. GBE staff like to have these items on hand so that whenever students have accidents, they can quickly return to their classroom and not have to be sent home early. Clothing or gift cards can be turned into the front office. Electronic gift cards can also be sent to our Family Liaison, Wafika Albani (WMAlbani@fcps.edu).
Opportunity to Volunteer at GBE
Cafeteria Volunteers Needed
GBE staff are looking for adult volunteers to assist during lunch in the cafeteria. Lunches are from 11AM-2PM but you're welcome to come whenever works best for your schedule, particularly if you prefer to volunteer around your student's lunch schedule. Volunteers are needed to assist with the following:
- assist with cleaning and wiping tables in between lunch shifts;
- assist with sweeping floors in between lunch shifts;
- monitor students while they are eating;
- provide students with napkins, utensils, condiments, etc.
If interested, please send an email to Heather Williams (HWilliams@fcps.edu).
