Upper School Service Project
April 27, 10AM-12PM
Gym
Let's get our Upper School Falcon Families (and younger siblings) together to make DIY dog and cat toys, rice socks, dog bandanas, cage covers and handmade fleece blankets! We will have instructions available at the event. This is NOT A DROP OFF EVENT. You can drop off supplies earlier at the bin at the Upper School or bring them the day of the event. Please label anything that needs to be returned to you.
Kendra Scott Gives Back
May 4 12-2PM In-Store, La Cantera
Online 5/4-5/5
Join us in the beautiful new Kendra Scott store in La Cantera for sips, sweets, and shopping. Create a customized jewelry piece at the Color Bar, or choose from their many affordably-priced items.
If you can't shop in-store, use the code GIVEBACK-GMBES online from 5/4-5/5. Take care of your Mother's Day shopping with Kendra Scott!
Teacher Appreciation Week
May 6-10
Lower school teacher appreciation week is being done differently this year. Rather than having a specific theme each day, we are honoring different teacher roles each day. Also, Nurse Appreciation Day happens to fall on Wednesday of that week! Handwritten notes of thanks are the most treasured of all gifts.
For Upper School, we are again stocking the break room! Send in kcups, Nescafé pods, snacks, and canned/bottled drinks. And definitely include a handwritten thank you note for those teachers!
For both, there will be a combined taco bar potluck lunch on Friday, May 10. Signup in the comments.
New Spirit Store Items
Visit the Spirit Store to see all we have to offer! Yard signs, hoodies, sweatshirts, assorted shirts, ponchos and drawstring bags...
When placing any order, be sure to include your scholar's NAME and GRADE in the comments of your purchase.

Note: This information is intended for our community only. A password will be distributed in our newsletter and posted on our Facebook page.
Volunteers Needed
Volunteers are on campus every day of the week serving in the lunch room, front desk and copy room among other places. We have a range of times available each day to suit even our busy parents and grandparents.
Come join us! Background Check and Online Training
