WE NEED YOUR HELP!
As families have moved on from GES, we have had some important committee roles to fill on the PTO in the coming school year. We are highlighting a few positions below that involve the biggest fundraising efforts for the school.
The GES PTO welcomes everyone from staff, parents and caregivers to grandparents, aunts and uncles. Whether you can help once a week or once a month, we need you to continue to do what we do for the GES staff and students. We have lots of volunteer opportunities available in addition to the positions below so if you are interested in learning more, please reach out to Angie and Amy at GESPTOPres@gmail.com. We would love to have you join us.

Open Committee Positions
1. Gallop Event Coordinator in Training
Time Commitment: July-October; initial planning begins in July and things get busy in September. Less than 5 hours/week on average.
The Gator Gallop is our school’s biggest fundraiser. This is the last year that our Gator Gallop Chairman will be running the event and we are looking for a volunteer to learn about the event and train in the position to be able to run the Gator Gallop in future years.
The great thing about being a part of the Gator Gallop Committee is that you can give back to the school, but all during the first few months of school! Since the event takes place in the late summer/early fall all of the time commitment is at the beginning of the school year--and then you're done! It's a fun event for the kids AND the staff to be able to raise money for the school that they can use for the entire year.
The Gator Gallop co-chair will assist the main Gator Gallop chairman with the following:
- Website development/coordination with vendor partner that manages the website
- Partnership with principal, PTO committee members and teachers to promote, plan and execute the event
- Coordinate incentives for students to receive while fundraising
- Work with PTO treasurers on donations, submitting to Web site and following up with families
- Select spirit days for spirit week the week of Gator Gallop
- Availability to be on-site all day the day of the event (October 7, 2022)
- HAVE FUN! The kids really love this day!
