The GFES Winter Coat Drive

Oct 21-25, 2024

Our Winter Coat Drive starts next week! We are collecting new and gently used clean coats, as well as new hats, gloves, mittens, and scarves in all sizes for children and adults. The greatest need this year is for children’s coats, newborn – teen sizes, and very large women’s and men’s coats 2XL+. All donations will be distributed at the Embry Rucker Shelter and the Hunter Mill District Coat Closet. Donations will be collected from Monday, October 21 through Friday, October 25.  The collection boxes will be located outside the main entrance to the school and in the main lobby.  Help those in need this winter by giving the gift of warmth.  Every donation makes a difference! Thank you for your generous support.

PTA Reflections

The Reflections program helps students with both art appreciation and helps boost their confidence in their own artistic abilities. Each year over 300,000 students in pre-K through 12th grade create original works of art based on a given theme. This 50+ year old program helps them explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and life.

 

This year's theme is "Accepting Imperfection....."

 

Entries are due by October 31, 2024
