GES Art Show


Wow!  We walked into the GES gym on Friday night, and I all I could say was, "Wow!"  Miss McGee, the art teacher, obviously went to a LOT of work to get ready for the evening.  I couldn't believe how organized she must have been all year to set something like this up.  Each child had 2 pieces of artwork displayed.  There were also three tables set up with art activities.  She had a slideshow of her art classes going the whole time, there was a silent auction of collaborative class projects, student portfolios were available to pick up (most of their artwork from the year), and there were refreshments.  So many of the teachers were also there to help out with various aspects of the evening, and the school cooks made the cookies - it was a team effort. And, the turnout was great!  She can definitely be proud of her first ever GES Art Show!  And thanks to the silent auction, I bet she raised almost $1000 for the art department.

Miss McGee with the 5th grade peacock for sale.  She painted the peacock
and the 5th graders each painted a wooden oval piece to add to the tail.
It sold for over $100!
Caiden's ceramic snowman - brown?  Maybe it's muddy!
Clever!

Third grade ceramic bowl - made from each of their hands.  It will be glazed,
I was told.  I think this one sold for $80.

Pre-Christmas Surprise

 On Dec. 22, I woke up to Caiden not feeling well. In fact, he said he hadn't ever felt the kind of pain he was experiencing that morning. Reluctantly, I made an appointment. Long story, short - it was good he complained because he ended up having his appendix out that afternoon! It must have been at the very beginning stages and thankfully hadn't burst. So, we were in and out of the hospital by midnight that night. Maybe the worst part about the whole thing is that his wisdom teeth surgery had to be postponed since it was supposed to be the very next week. He'll go back to school minus an appendix, but still having his wisdom teeth until February 16! Pre-op Post-op

Mid-Summer Happenings

 I'm trying to remember that I craved "slow and easy" days during the school year, and I feel like that's what I've had this summer. It has been refreshing to wake up in the morning and have a flexible to-do list; although I have to admit that some days do feel long. I suppose that helps me appreciate my teaching job! In not particular order, here's what we've been up to: Endless fixing and revamping in the shop: Digging up potatoes and pulling up a generous onion crop! Look at the size of that potato! The 4th of July fireworks were outdone by the sky this year! Enjoying my walks at sunset: Many, many green beans to can and pickle. Thanks to the girls for cleaning and stemming them! I had been keeping tabs on an Oriole nest near the garden, and one Sunday, I witnessed the "fly-away!" It was a noisy affair as the parents and babies kept calling back and forth. I almost can't get over the fact that I had time to stand and watch the whole affair

League Champs!!

 Delaney and her teammates had an amazing volleyball season! They ended the season undefeated in the Wheat State League, and they only lost 2 matches overall. They had a notable win over Moundridge, 2 wins over Elyria, and THREE wins over Little River - all teams we have had trouble with in the past. They were so fun to watch, working as a team and developing throughout the season, and they ended as the league tournament champs. Thanks to Raechel Boese and Tara Churchill for their work with these ladies. What a fantastic way to end Delaney's middle school volleyball days! The immediate aftermath of a 3-set win over Elyria for  the League Championship! A Team 8th Graders Team Selfie Coaches Churchill and Boese Scenes from the BIG win over Moundridge:
