Come join us for our first general PTA meeting of 2025! Board members will be on hand to discuss position openings for next year (and remaining opportunities for this year!). If you have been looking for ways to get involved and would like to learn more about what the PTA is doing - please join us! 

After the meeting, stay for IB Math Night which will be fun for the whole family! 

Parent-Teachers conferences will take place the week of January 27th. Be on the lookout for communication from your teachers to sign-up for a time slot. 

Hear us roar! We're excited about the launch of our new fundraising site to support GH, and we need your help spreading the word. We have lots of levels and benefits this year including naming rights! Please share these sponsorship opportunities with any businesses, families or individuals in your network who may be interested in supporting our awesome Cougar family.

PS, don't forget to check if your employer offers donation matching programs to help maximize the impact of your contribution to our campaign. Also, many companies are looking to allocate remaining funds before year end. We are a 501(c)3 and our school provides a great opportunity for employers to support a worthy cause and claim their tax deductions for 2025. Thanks for support our amazing Cougars!
