The Kindness Squad at GES delivered the donations that they collected for Rooted for Good today! Thank you to everyone who helped GES spread kindness to our community this holiday season!



Our students at KES had a pawsitively amazing day earlier this week as part of a PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) rewards! 🎉 To celebrate their hard work, they were treated to a special visit from some adorable therapy dogs.





Our high school artists are making an impact beyond the classroom! 🎨✨ Students have been hard at work creating a vibrant mural for the Inventors Lab, using their talents to give back to the community in a meaningful way.

RevTrak is currently experiencing technical issues related to a recent software update, which is preventing payments from processing. In the meantime, please send lunch payments by check or cash to your student’s building secretary.
We will notify you as soon as the issue is resolved and online payments are available again.

Our middle school had kicked off fall break with an energetic Teachers vs. First Responders volleyball showdown! 🔥🏐 GK staff came ready to play and swept all three sets — but the real win was our students’ generosity. Together, GKMS and the Middle School Impact Club collected groceries for the Genoa Food Hub, making a big impact before the holiday season.
Great game, great energy, great cause! 💙💛

GES Kindness Squad worked hard to decorate their Giving Tree! They have partnered with Rooted for Good, our local food pantry, to collect holiday food items in need. During conferences, parents can choose an ornament from the tree to claim a food item they’d like to donate. Thank you for helping spread kindness this season!
