We’re so excited to welcome staff back into the building, ready to build a great year together, brick by brick!
We started the day making minifigs to represent our teams and reflecting on the characteristics that make us stronger together 💪

Are you looking for a part-time position in the middle of the day? We're hiring a dining assistant to supervise students during lunch.

If you're looking for predictable hours that allow you to be home in time for school drop offs and pickups, this might be the job for you!

Email principal Sara Harper, [email protected], to learn more.

Proud principal moment! 💙🏊

Swim divisional meet: two amazing GFES students on two different teams showed what true sportsmanship looks like. Before the backstroke event, one held the other’s legs at the starting block to help them get set for their race.

Different teams. Same school. Great character. We are so proud of all of our roadrunner swimmers 🏊🏻‍♀️
