Boxes for Soldiers - We are collecting items for deployed military from TODAY through Wednesday, April 27. This year we are supporting 4 units located in Africa. Please see the attached flyer which list items in need. This list was collected by the Chaplain serving those units and the sports equipment is used for morale activities and physical exercise. Used equipment or jerseys in very good condition are acceptable. Cash donations are also appreciated and will be used to purchase additional items where needed and/or for shipping costs. THANK YOU!

Auditorium Lighting Upgrade Update - As a result of the tremendous generosity and support of the GW Community, FOGW has been able to raise $66,090 to upgrade the stage lighting in the GW auditorium. This will directly benefit our students as they use this space during assemblies, concerts, performances and certain classes. Thank you for always supporting our school and our children. Together we made a difference!
Teacher Appreciation Luncheon - GW HSA will be celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week from May 3 to May 6. We are so thankful to our teachers who continue working tirelessly to help our students learn, grow and succeed! Teacher appreciation week will include teacher luncheon. You can show your appreciation by donating one or more teacher lunches here, gwhsa.org/teacher-appreciation
