GES Relay for Life Team Raising Money to Help Find a Cure for Cancer
Each Friday (except the first Friday of the month), students can donate $1.00 to our Relay for Life team and earn the privilege to wear a hat to school all day. In addition, teachers can donate $5.00 and wear jeans. Be on the lookout for other fundraising activities for our Relay for Life team. Our students learn to care about others through their efforts to raise money for the GES Relay for Life team.
