From the PTK
It was epic - thank you!

Thank you all for your genuine support in the CGE Halloween Carnival! To all the volunteers, families, teachers, staff and students- our Carnival could not happen with out your hard work, generous donations and attendance. The 2022 Halloween Carnival was epic with new additions such as food trucks to time-honored performances from Jorge the Magnificent to Andy the Juggler. Funds raised will continue to support our teachers stipends, the enrichment programs and so much more for our students. Stay tuned for a final tally. Thank you all for being part of our great Carlos Gilbert Elementary School community!
