GBE PTA email for the week of 12/11/23
Have a wonderful winter break GBE! See you in 2024!
***Helping our GBE Families***
GBE is collecting local grocery store and/or local department store gift cards (Walmart, Target, Giant, Harris Teeter, Safeway, Wegmans, etc.) to help support GBE families in need during the Holiday Season. Any donation will be gratefully accepted and discreetly distributed to families experiencing financial struggles. Gift card donations can be turned into the GBE Main Office through Wednesday December 13th. If gift card donations are sent to school via students, please put them in an envelope marked "Front Office". Please reach out to Beth Longergan, our GBE Social Worker, at SELongergan@fcps.edu with any questions.
