🐝🌟 Hispanic Heritage Spirit Month is Coming to GES! 🌟🐝 From September 15 through October 15, our Hornets will be celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with a variety of fun spirit days that honor the cultures, traditions, and contributions of Hispanic communities. Students can kick off the celebration on September 15 with ¡Brillamos Juntos! by wearing bright and neon colors, show off their favorite sombrero, hat, or flower crown on September 25, sport their favorite soccer or baseball jersey for Fútbol y Béisbol Day on October 2, represent the colors of a Spanish-speaking country's flag on October 9, and wrap up the month on October 15 with School Unity Day by wearing their GES spirit gear. We look forward to learning, celebrating, and highlighting the diversity that makes our school community so special.
🐝🌟 Positive Referral Spotlight! We’re excited to celebrate this week’s GES Positive Referral recipient!

The Student Benefits Form (Household Income Data Collection) was sent home with students, and we are asking all families to complete and return it, even if you believe your family may not qualify for benefits. Please look for the form in your student's materials and refer to the images below for examples of what it looks like. Completing this form is extremely important because the information collected helps secure funding that supports free meals for all students, as well as other valuable programs and services throughout the district. In addition, submitting the form may provide direct benefits to your family, including discounts for summer and recreational programs, access to discounted or low-cost internet services, fee waivers for SAT and AP testing, college application fee waivers, and potential eligibility for the Maryland Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
