GHS Theatre Presents: Two Witches, No Waiting

Arlene Marcus and her sister, Elzbeth, are known as witches. At least, that’s the story spread by Opal Dunn just before she vanished. Arlene’s son, Jeremy, tries to get the sisters to sell their house. Eustace Sternwood desperately wants to buy the property. Sternwood didn’t reckon on dealing with people who read bumps on his head, a “recipe book” full of spells and potions and getting lost in Elzbeth’s “mystery room.” Jeremy already has his hands full, so what happens when he seems to be falling in love with Bonnie, the new housekeeper? And just who is she? It’s a heady brew of twists and turns, where barn owls spy on people through windows, closets fly open and even the house itself seems alive!

Note: The content is generally acceptable for all ages. 

Tickets go on sale to the public Monday, December 15!

Birthday and Celebration Treats

Please be advised that all treats being shared with other students must be either bakery/store-bought or individually packaged. This policy helps us manage allergens and maintain a safe environment for everyone. 

Please make sure to coordinate with your child's teacher before you bring in a classroom treat.

As a note, teachers and staff are able to accept homemade treats as gifts. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Attendance Policy

Parents:  Absences and appointments can be called in at any time to 616-254-6881 or e-mailed to oakesattendance@gpsbulldogs.org.  Please leave your name, your student's name, your student's grade, your student's teacher, the date, and the reason for their absence. (If no reason is given, the absence will be entered as unexcused). 

If calling for an appointment, please let us know if they will be arriving to school late or if you will need to pick them up at a certain time.  If you need to pick your student up prior to afternoon dismissal (2:35), please make every effort to call/email at least 1 hour before the release time.  This helps us to cut down on the number of times that we need to call into classrooms for student early releases. Thank you!

All students leaving prior to our 2:35 dismissal time must be signed out by a parent before leaving the building.  If you need someone else to pick your child up, please leave that person's information on the attendance line as well.  Thank you!
