Our GES 3rd and 4th grade students built model volcanoes as a hands-on science project to learn about geology, chemical reactions and Earth's processes. They learned how they are formed, where they are found on Earth and the effects they have on the area when they erupt. It was an exciting way to bring learning to life!

Our students have so much fun outside during the Winter. They have been busy building snowmen, sledding and making snow forts. Their collaboration and creativity really shine during these months.

GES continues to celebrate the holidays with so many wonderful traditions. We will spend a morning on Winter Solstice activities, go neighborhood caroling, and of course, enjoy making crafts. In this picture, you will see 3rd and 4th grade students working on their paper bag snowflakes with Ms. Cook - you may notice the completed ones hanging from the ceiling. What a wonderful time of the year!

We were so fortunate to have two NH lawyers visit our school as part of the NH Bar Association outreach programs. Jeff Crocker and Veronica Tomasko-Silva explained their roles as lawyers and then presented students with a map of a park and vehicles. They shared that there is a rule written on a sign in the park: NO VEHICLES IN THE PARK. The two lawyers then led each class through discussions of whether this is a good rule and whether there should be different words used. Can bicycles go in the park? What about trash trucks? We would like to thank these lawyers for giving their time, and the NH Bar Association for the materials used in the presentation.
