GES is still up and running
It was a surprise to hear that some of our schools were shut down due to water problems. GES is not a stranger to water woes. We had our stint some four or five years ago when we had to fill our tanks with water from the Mayor's office, provide hand sanitizers for all students and post notices until we could be cleared. Relying on city water, and then having so many power outages will do that. Whatever the reasons, we will avoid suspending classes for our students. Learning must go on. We hope that the situation gets taken care of at our sister schools soon.

Ms. Laura is always all smiles at the front office!
Mr. Reyes, our nurse, is out in the classrooms checking for cleanliness.
Better clip those nails and brush that hair!
Mrs. Diaz, our librarian, finalizing her library schedule.
Mr. Roberts, our vice principal and Mrs. Sablan, our upper grade counselor are not in their offices.
They are substituting 4th grade classes until our new teachers arrive.
You can finally see Ms. Boni past the door. No more boxes and supplies, they've either been stored properly or passed out to the classrooms. Thank you Mr. Johnson for letting me use your vacuum.

September is finally here!
It was a great first day at GES! Despite the confusion about school closures in other villages, all of our over 800 students arrived in time to meet their new teachers and classmates.
The September committee prepared a wonderful spread for teachers and staff. Just the thing we needed to start our very early day. Thank you Ms. Nikki, Mr. Buniag, Mrs. Springer, Mrs. Yamagishi, Mrs. Thorpe, Mrs. Castro, Ms. CC, Mr. Loken, Mrs. Cabrera, Ms. San Nicolas, Ms. M. Tenorio, Mr. Itibus, Mr. Mendez and Mrs. Diaz!!!
Some teachers, like Mrs. Elaine Dela Cruz's class took tours around the campus. Here are the brand new 1st graders greeting the office staff.
We received a brand new generator to keep our water pumps working in the event of a power outage. Yes students, this means that school is in session no matter what!
Parents: Please return all your documents and forms to your child's teacher, with all the necessary requirements filled out. As a reminder, students need to apply for free meal status each year. The deadline and end of the grace period for free meal applications is October 17, 2008. For more information please call Ms. Laura at 237-3341.
Some dates to remember:
September 25th 5:00 pm - Open House
September 25th 6:00 pm - First PTA Mtg. of the year

Welcome Back!
I am so excited about this school year. Sure there are things that we will have to adjust to, like the impending threat of power outages and waiting for the next fiscal year to replenish our budget, but just knowing that the team will be together again and the students will fill the campus with noise and laughter makes me certain we can overcome anything. The school is an empty building, like a butterfly waiting to come out of it's cocoon during the summer. Tomorrow the sound of children's voices will fill the hallway and the reason why we exist as an organization will be even more evident. I can't wait. I hope you can't either. Welcome back to school everyone!
Ms. Yvonne Reyes
Principal, GES
