The GW Yearbook Committee invites parents and teachers to submit photos for the yearbook. If you’ve got great photos of school and community events or you and your friends just having fun, we’d like to see them. Help us get as many photos as possible to create a terrific book everyone will want to have. Here is how you can submit photos online:
It’s that easy! Submit your photos today! The last day to submit photos is 04/01/2015. Stay tuned for more information on how to order a copy of the yearbook! The GW Elementary School PTO will host a “Holiday Arts and Crafts Fair” on Friday, 12/19 from 3:00pm – 5:00 Join us for community building and friendship.

We are seeking baked goods from parents and accepting donations all day on Friday, 12/19. Please see PTO Chair Lori Joseph to drop off your donation at the stage in the school auditorium. Volunteers for the event are also requested. The sign-up sheet is located on the PTO school bulletin board in the main lobby.
For more information, you may contact Ilana Berger, [email protected] or Amy Bronwen Zemser, [email protected]. School pictures went home yesterday, and we hope you are all pleased with the results! It’s our first year working with Memory Makers, and we look forward to a long standing relationship with this great local photography studio. Of course, there are always things in need of improvement and we plan to get parent and teacher comments in the coming year to make pictures even more spectacular in 2015. For those looking to take advantage of re-take day scheduled for Monday, November 10th, children must come with their entire photo order except the class photo which they can hold onto. The package will be replaced with the new image which will also be changed on both the administrative and yearbook disks. Both Ms. Hulse and Ms. Luby were absent on picture day, so they will be having their picture taken and it will be added to their children’s class photo. Children who missed picture day will be receiving a flyer today with information on re-take Monday. If you would like to be included on that list, please contact Maryann Richardson in the front office at 845/338-1978 today (Friday) or, contact GW PTO Co-Chair Lori Joseph at [email protected]

The GW Elementary School welcomes the GOLDEN NOTEBOOK who is our new book vendor for our Fall and Spring book fairs this school year. This is a fundraiser, and 20% of all sales will be donated to the GW PTO for our activities and programs. The children will be browsing the options during the school day and filling out a ‘wish list’ for their parents. We are open late so that parents are able to come in after school to purchase books. Thursday, October 23rd is Parent/Teacher Conferences – so we are making sure to be available later to accommodate families who will be coming in that day. Because the Golden Notebook provides staff, we don’t need many parent volunteers which is great! Below the book fair hours is a schedule of needs from volunteers. If you are able to help on any of the posted days, please contact Rebecca Martin-Grenadier at [email protected] As we generally do, the book fair will occur on the Auditorium Stage. The dates and hours are as follows: Golden Notebook Book Fair Hours Wednesday, October 22nd Thursday, October 23rd Friday, October 24th We are seeking parent volunteers for the following times: Tuesday, October 21st Wednesday, October 22nd Thursday, October 23rd Friday, October 24th For more information, contact Rebecca Martin Grenadier, Chair of the GW PTO at [email protected] or the Golden Notebook at 845/679-8000.
