Scholastic Book Fair
The week-long book fair, typically hosted in the Spring, showcases hundreds of titles for readers of all ages. Get classics and new favorites at great prices while helping grow the GCS library. Be on the lookout for more information in emails from the GPO and GCS about opportunities to attend or purchase online.
Staff Appreciation
An expression of gratitude for the excellent staff of GCS, the teachers and staff enjoy Espresso Dave events, Food Truck luncheons, and special surprises. We’ve had raffles, massages, treats, and we’re always looking for new ideas! Join us in saying thanks for all they do for our kids!
Reading Carnival
After working so hard to improve their reading, writing and arithmetic skills, students in grades K-4 are awarded fun prizes and enjoy a well-earned, carnival-style celebration. Attractions include items such as bouncy houses, face painting, popcorn, and cotton candy! Ask any GCS graduate and this event is sure to be a highlight of their elementary years.
Please check back here and watch your email for new, exciting events. We are fortunate to have great friends (and fellow GCS parents) at businesses who willing to host give-back events at their locations. Interested in driving Greenland-based traffic to your business and want to do a give-back to the GPO? Fill out this form, and we’ll contact you!
