Good morning, Falcon families! KONA Ice will be at GES on Friday, May 15 for field day! Please see the attached information for all of the details you need.
Thank you!
Teachers Julie Butcher, Misty Roach and Katie Setty welcomed tanks into their classrooms and raised approximately 300 trout to be ready for release into the Mad River.
On release day, GES staff, students and a handful of volunteers traveled to Lions Park in West Liberty to release the trout into Onion Creek. The fish from our project will help to propagate the trout population in the Mad River. Students learned to cast a fly fishing rod, released a fish into the creek and met with Ohio Department of Natural Resources Officer Ethan Simmons to learn about the Mad River ecosystem.
Thank you to everyone who made this year's trip a success!
We are excited for year 16!

A HUGE shoutout to our parent volunteers who were able to help us make this day a huge success! Our students learned SO MUCH about animals and the different adaptations they have. We even had a Mrs. Lonsinger volunteer to become an animal with adaptations that our students chose. After the presentation, students were able to do some very hands-on activities to learn even more about how animals adapt to their environment to survive! Everything from the way different animals move to the way bugs see the world!
