The GES Book Fair is in full swing, and the students are finding so many great things! The GES Book Fair runs September 27-30 and will be set up in the GES Library. Parents are NOT allowed to attend this year, but you can shop virtually or send money with your student. Students will have two different opportunities to visit the book fair with their class, and it is so much fun for them to choose a new book and to pay for it themselves! If you want to know what date/time your student will be attending, please ask your student's teacher. Here is the virtual link for online purchases: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/gunterelementaryschool All proceeds support our library and our PTO... thank you for your support 🙂
