Remember to keep reading for the Go Nuts for Reading program through the Richmond Flying Squirrels!  Completed bookmarks are due on Wednesday, March 20th. No bookmarks can be accepted after that day. 

All students who turn in a completed bookmark by March 20th will receive a FREE ticket to a Richmond Flying Squirrels baseball game! GES will join BES and RES  for a special night on Thursday, April 18th –  complete with an on-field parade AND fireworks! Students would report to the baseball game by 5:30pm.

The school will be selling fundraiser tickets for the game for family and friends so you can attend with the student. Join us for a fun family event!!  Tickets are $9 (adult or child) through the school and can be purchased online at our GES website,  cash, or check to  school.

Purchased tickets and student vouchers will be sent home in an envelope with the student.  Thank you so much for supporting this program!
