As I looked out the window on February 15th the term "organized chaos" first came to mind, but as the morning morphed from a soggy downpour into a bright blue sky with a gentle breeze, my thoughts turned to a "well organized machine."   The soggy dark morning came to life unfolding into a day that flowed seamlessly across the morning as hundreds of people filled the commons area and the streets around GEDS.  By noon the calm of a Saturday afternoon had once again engulfed the campus.   Blessings continue to shower on GEDS in the form of individuals so willing to give of their time and talent to insure that events like the 8K River Run are a great success.  Many thanks go to the 8K River Run Committee that worked for months alongside Austin Foster and Langdon Zimmer.  The organization and leadership these two ladies provided combined with the expert experience of 1st Place Sports laid the ground work for what we hope will become an annual event in support of our school.  On behalf of GEDS let me say many thanks to all who participated in this effort.




 
The Grace Fund is on campus with a "Drop in the Bucket" themed participation rate display! 
         
Each class has a bucket with the percentages of GEDS families per class who have participated so far!
         
Join those who have already donated or pledged to The Grace Fund and watch the water level rise!
     
 Please visit  The Grace Fund page for donors forms, our 2013-2014 brochure, the current staff, board and vestry percentages and for more information! 
     
Invest in your child. Invest in the possibilities. 
 
The Book Fair
The Scholastic Book Fair is coming soon!
