Our Graham Elementary Student Lighthouse team and elementary choir had a jolly 'ole time at the St. Paris Christmas in the Village event! Student Lighthouse Team members assisted with games that participants enjoyed, and the elementary choir shared some festive songs at the tree lighting event. We are proud of our Falcons every day!

This week our habit was Habit 3: Put First Things First. Students showed us how to be rockstars at focusing on our highest priorities and tackling the "Big Rocks" (the most important tasks of our days) first, so that when it is time to carry out our plans, we can take it one step at a time and succeed in all of our tasks and goals, no matter how big or small! These special Falcons showed us how to be heroes at focusing on and conquering their important things in order to continue being fantastic, hardworking, and inspiring students at GES!
It’s time for the next round of GES Habit Hero Winners! The Habit of the Week this week was Habit 2: Begin With The End In Mind. So many Falcons showed us how hard they are working to set and achieve goals - it was hard to choose! But this group of superstars went above and beyond when it came to making plans and showing commitment to following through on those plans! Way to go, friends!
We love our local library! Please see the calendar attached for the exciting November events!
Pick up what you need inside the shop or from the Giving Tree outside. Donations of new hats, gloves, and mittens are welcome all season long!
Students started the day by Sharpening the Saw with Leader in Me clubs. From outdoor games to yoga, everyone enjoyed the time spent learning something new.
Staff and students alike enjoyed showing off their Halloween costumes for a fantastic Fall day!
