Passport to Play Day

GUES is one of 50 schools nationwide that has been selected to receive a McDonald's Passport to Play Day.  The Passport to Play Day event will bring some of the games from around the world to life at our school.  This multi-cultural learning experience will focus on teaching students how to play games that kids in four other countries play.  They'll see that being active is also fun and educational!

This event is for fifth graders and fourth and fifth grade LEAP students. Look for information from your child's teacher for times so you can plan to join us for this special event.

GUES Career Day

This exciting event will be geared toward GUES fourth graders.  All fourth grade students and their teachers will be working on a learning unit all about careers.  Students will complete a career assessment, research a career of their choice, and participate in writing activities including creating graphic organizers, writing paragraphs, presenting information, and writing thank you letters. 

We hope parents will join us as featured speakers and as visitors on this special day. 

Principals' Breakfast is held on the last school day of each month to reward one student from each homeroom who has exhibited great character or has experience academic success for that month.  Students are nominated by their teachers.    Mrs. Jackson and Mrs. Tharpe treat the students to breakfast and present the students with a certificate, a Principal's Award bookmark and a button that says, "My Principal is Proud of Me."  Each student may bring two adult guests.  The cost of an adult breakfast is $1.75 and is payable at the conclusion of the breakfast. 

Congratulations to all students who have attended Principals' Breakfast.  You can see who has attended by looking on the website under Principal's Points.
