To celebrate the school year, GSS hosted a Halloween Fest on Halloween Day.  Games, trick-or-treating, jumpers, and costumes ruled the day as students enjoyed their day celebrating the school year.  A special thank you goes out to the parents who were our trick-or-treat stops, donated candy, and help with the setup and clean up for the day.  In the end, the students had a wonderful, candy filled time before the Halloween weekend.

NOFD Visits GSS

Picture
The New Orleans Fire Department visited GSS this week to teach the students about fire safety and fire prevention.  The students split into grade level groups to learn about the time honored tradition of "Stop, Drop, and Roll" as well as what to do in different house fire situations.  After the interactive talk, the students were able to jump aboard a real fire truck, to the amazement of some of the little ones.  Thanks NOFD for the visit and the life lessons!

Picture
At the beginning of every school year, the team from New Orleans Speech & Hearing Center does vision and hearing screenings for all PK-4 through 2nd grade students and any new GSS students.  The NOSH team analyzes the results of those screenings and ensures that students receive any speech therapy services that they need during the school year.  The EENT Foundation funds two NOSH speech therapists to provide services for over 75 GSS students throughout the school year.  GSS is truly blessed by the generosity of the EENT Foundation and the team from the New Orleans Speech & Hearing Center.
