Event Calendar

All current and incoming GFE parents are invited to join the PTO Board for a virtual info night/happy hour. Get in your jammies, grab a drink, and let's chat.

There's no agenda - I'm wingin' it. We'll highlight our nominees, talk about involvement, and answer general questions.

It's Board planning season, and we're on the hunt for more Board nominees.

With schedules as hectic as they are, we'll have 2 happy hours. Feel free to come to one or both.
