Dear Families,
With Thanksgiving week approaching, I would like to thank you for entrusting your child(ren) to us and for your unwavering support! I am also thankful for our committed and compassionate staff members at Falling Waters! To celebrate this season, you are welcome to share a note of thanks to staff member by writing a few words to them HERE.
As a reminder, PTO is having music bingo this evening- Friday, November 17th at 6:30 PM. This is a just for fun family event - there will not be any food served, but we will be serving up FUN as the Bingo caller plays songs, and you mark your Bingo card if you have the song listed.
In addition, our PTO spirit store has reopened with additional Gretna Guardian gear.
Enjoy your weekend!

Parents are able to access their child's lunch account online. Visit our Food & Nutrition Services website here. Accounts and payment information can be found here.
If you should have any questions regarding your child’s lunch account, please feel free to contact our lunch paraprofessional, Mrs. Kelly Leahy at 402-332-3938 or kleahy@gpsne.org.
Students are welcome to celebrate their birthdays at school! Please be sure treats are store bought. Check with your child's teacher if they are a nut-free classroom.
To help your child's birthday celebration run smoothly, please send the treats with your child to school in the morning.
Guests are welcome to join us at lunch. There will be special "Guest" tables set up in the lunchroom for you and your child to eat. Your child will not be allowed to invite another student to eat with them at the guest table.
We do ask that you limit lunch visits to birthdays only until after Labor Day to allow for us to teach expectations and help students learn the routines and procedures. Thank you for your help and understanding.
Meal Benefit Applications are available by clicking here.
