Dear GBE Parents,
We need your support- become a member of GBE PTA & MEET US THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 14TH @ 6:30PM GBE Cafeteria!

If you don't know much about PTA here are few tips to have a better understanding of what we do!

The primary purpose of a PTA is to facilitate communication and cooperation between parents, teachers, and the school administration to support the overall well-being and education of students. The specific goals and activities of a PTA can vary from one school to another, but they generally include:
Parental Involvement: PTAs encourage parents to become actively involved in their children's education. This involvement can take the form of volunteering in classrooms, participating in school events, and attending PTA meetings.

Advocacy: PTAs often advocate for policies, programs, and resources that benefit students and enhance the educational experience. This may involve lobbying for improved school facilities, better curriculum, or increased funding for extracurricular activities.

Fundraising: PTAs often organize fundraising events to raise money for school-related needs. These funds can be used to support field trips, purchase educational materials, or fund special programs and events.

Community Building: PTAs create a sense of community within the school by organizing social events, such as family nights, school fairs, and cultural celebrations. These activities help foster positive relationships among parents, teachers, and students.

Parent Education: PTAs may offer workshops and seminars for parents on topics related to education, child development, and parenting skills.

Communication: PTAs serve as a channel for communication between parents and the school administration. They often distribute newsletters, host meetings, and maintain websites or social media platforms to keep parents informed about school news and events.

Student Support: PTAs may provide scholarships, awards, and other forms of support to students who excel academically or contribute positively to the school community.

So please don't hesitate and scan the bar code below. If you have any questions, please contact us!

Dear GBE Families- September is here and we would like for you to mark your calendars.
