We had a wonderful day with Boonshoft Visiting GES. We were able to pay for this wonderful experience for our learners by using the proceeds from our Tasty Traditions Fundraiser!

A HUGE shoutout to our parent volunteers who were able to help us make this day a huge success! Our students learned SO MUCH about animals and the different adaptations they have. We even had a Mrs. Lonsinger volunteer to become an animal with adaptations that our students chose. After the presentation, students were able to do some very hands-on activities to learn even more about how animals adapt to their environment to survive! Everything from the way different animals move to the way bugs see the world!

The Hallways were lined with students to help celebrate our wrestlers accomplishments.
With the help of Mrs. Setty, our 5th graders put their creativity and problem-solving skills to the test with their mousetrap car projects! Over the course of about four weeks, students started by designing their cars, then brought those plans to life. Along the way, they made adjustments and improvements to get everything just right. Great work, future engineers!

Our PreK-2 Learners had a very exciting day last Thursday, 3/19. Thank you to our families for helping to raise the funds to make this possible through our Tasty Traditions Fundraiser!

The Columbus Zoo came to visit us at GES. The students learned all about multiple animals and their adaptations that help them survive in the wild, and how they use all of those special skills. The students were so engaged and learned a lot about some very cute visitors! We are so proud of our Falcons' behavior and ability to keep a calm environment so our animal ambassador visitors were comfortable. Go Falcons!
