ENRICHMENT at GES
MusicStudents attend music class weekly with our consultant from Art and Soul Music. They will be learning songs, rhythms, genres, and more. 3rd grade will be learning the recorder and 4th and 5th grade students will learn to play the ukulele. Schools of Hope is an Early Grade Reading Initiative that helps children build the critical reading skills needed to succeed in school and life. Through Schools of Hope, we recruit, train and place community volunteers in the schools. The tutor works one-on-one with Kindergarten through third grade students during the school day to supplement the work they are doing in the classroom. Check in the office for 2019-20 schedule.
