We are excited to unveil our theme word for the 2024-25 school year, IMPACT. While we are a small school, we strive to make a big IMPACT on the community we serve. The following traits will be the focal point of our HOUSE meetings:
INSPIRE: To INSPIRE is to ignite a spark within others, motivating them to reach for their highest potential. At GES, we aim to INSPIRE our students through innovative teaching, supportive environments, and by being role models who demonstrate passion and dedication every day.
MINDFUL: Being MINDFUL means staying present and fully engaged in the moment. It involves paying attention to our thoughts, feelings, and surroundings without judgment. At GES, we practice MINDFULness to foster a calm and focused learning environment, helping students develop self-awareness and emotional regulation.
PATIENT: PATIENCE is the ability to remain calm and composed, even in challenging situations. It involves giving ourselves and others the time needed to grow and learn. At GES, we value PATIENCE as it allows us to support our students' unique learning journeys, understanding that progress takes time.
ACCEPTING: ACCEPTANCE means embracing diversity and appreciating the unique qualities each individual brings to our community. At GES, our ultimate goal is to promote a culture of kindness and understanding where every student feels valued and respected.
CONFIDENT: CONFIDENCE is believing in oneself and one’s abilities. At GES, we work to build our students' CONFIDENCE by providing them with opportunities to succeed, encouraging them to take risks, and celebrating their achievements. CONFIDENT students are empowered to face challenges and pursue their dreams.
TRUSTWORTHY: Being TRUSTWORTHY means being reliable, honest, and maintaining integrity in all our actions. At GES, we emphasize the importance of TRUSTWORHTINESS, creating a safe and supportive environment where students and staff can depend on each other and build strong, positive relationships.
Together, these traits embody our commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of children . At GES, we believe in the power of a small school making a big IMPACT. We look forward to working together with our families to create an IMPACTful 2024-25 school year.
