Hello Families,
As we speak, your children are working hard on creating a piece of artwork that can be transferred to a coffee mug, mouse page, T-shirt, etc. Next week teachers will send home a sample of your child’s artwork in an envelope with a pricing guide stapled to the outside. The order forms are due back by March 17th. Please see the link for more information about our school fundraiser. https://aptg.co/c03mpV

Hello Parents, please see the information below from our district nurse and student advocate/behavior management coordinator at the high school. We are helping GHS get information out about their family night. Our elementary families are welcome to attend, but it isn't our event.
Dear Parents,
On Wednesday, February 25th, from 5:30-7:30pm, we’ll have an important parent education event: How to Protect Your Child from Fentanyl. Fentanyl has hit our communities harder than any other drug in history. Fentanyl is involved in 90% of young Oregonian drug deaths, making drugs now the leading cause of death for this age group (15-24). Sadly, many of these deaths could have been avoided if the youth had been educated on the risks of fentanyl.
Schools are adding fentanyl education into their health education curriculum, but a few days of drug education a year is not enough to protect our kids from this dangerous drug. Parents and caregivers need to be involved, educating their kids about this danger and reinforcing the messaging at home. Most parents today were raised during the time of DARE, where “just say no” was the extent of drug education, and they don’t have an example of an effective drug talk to look back on. This event will educate everyone on how the current drug landscape is more dangerous than ever due to fentanyl and give tips and tools to help parents and caregivers have conversations with their kids.
The event will start with the screening of a short film, The New Drug Talk & La Estrella, following a discussion with local experts. Special guests include Marion County Substance Abuse Prevention Coordinator and the Youth Prevention Education Coordinator. We will also have folks from Interface Network to assist individuals with enrolling and navigating the Oregon Health Plan.
While this presentation is geared toward families with children in middle school or older, all are welcome to attend. This is an event you won’t want to miss. We hope to see you there!
THANK YOU TEAM!
Courtney & Guadalupe

Good Evening Families! I hope you have all enjoyed your beautiful weekend. I have been in Central Oregon watching my son, Maclain, wrestle at the Oregon Classic. It's Maclain's senior year so it's bittersweet! Central Oregon has been super cold and grey but spending time as a family has been wonderful.

Hello Parents! I hope 2026 is treating you well. Tonight, January 15th from 5-7pm, we have our Family Board Game Night. Bring a game from your collection or choose from one of ours at school. Each student who walks through the cafe' doors will receive a raffle ticket to win a prize during one of the 3 drawings. I know tonight will be exciting with Ms. Bizon, Ms. Weidemann, Ms. Hurst and Ms. Lal-Rider. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend as I am presenting at our district board meeting. Thank you all for your unwavering support of GES and sending your children to us each day. They bring so much joy!
