🇺🇸🥜🍬 IT’S TIME TO GET SNACKIN’ IN THE USA! 🍬🥜🇺🇸

🖤🦬💛 Our Annual Snackin’ in the USA Fundraiser is BACK at GES! 💛🦬🖤

We are so excited to kick off another year of fundraising for our lil’ Buffaloes! All students are encouraged to participate by selling delicious candies and nuts to help us reach our goal! 🎉

🎯 OUR GOAL THIS YEAR:
💧 Purchase water bottle filling stations for EACH grade-level hallway! 💧

Last year, our amazing GES families helped us reach our goal, and we were able to purchase the AWESOME mesh fencing for our playground! 🙌 Now, we’re ready to tackle another exciting project to make our school even better for our students!

Let’s work together once again to HIT OUR GOAL and make it easier for our lil’ Buffaloes to refill their water bottles throughout the school day! 💦🦬

🍬 Sell a little or sell a lot!
🥜 Every item sold helps us get closer to our goal!
💧 Every dollar brings us one step closer to water bottle filling stations!

Participation is encouraged but NOT required. We want every student to have the opportunity to be part of this exciting project!

A HUGE THANK YOU to our wonderful GES families and community for always supporting our lil’ Buffaloes! When we work together, amazing things happen! ❤️

ONE TOWN. ONE SCHOOL. ONE FAMILY. 🖤🦬💛

Information sheet and order forms went home with students today!! HAPPY SELLING!!

A few reminders about Homecoming mums:
🌟 Students may wear their mums as long as they do not cause a disruption to the learning environment.
🌟 We encourage students to remove their mums during recess and PE to help prevent damage.
🌟 PLEASE make sure your child’s FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, and GRADE LEVEL are written on the back of one of the ribbons! This will help us return any mums that get misplaced.

🏈💛 LET’S GO, BUFFALOES! 🖤🦬💛

We are excited to cheer on our GHS Buffaloes as they take the field tomorrow night! Let’s show them what ONE TOWN, ONE SCHOOL, ONE FAMILY is all about!🖤🦬💛
