GEA is in a position to gather financial donations from the community and use them where needed by GCS. For example, during COVID, GEA raised a million dollars to purchase laptops so students could begin learning remotely. When cafeteria workers were on strike, GEA purchased $20,000 worth of pizzas to distribute to schools for student lunches. GEA responds to needs as they arise. However, they also have longstanding events they support. As an example, they underwrite the GCS Celebration of Excellence where Teacher of the Year, Rookie Teacher of the Year, Principal of the Year, and more, will be recognized. This year, the Celebration of Excellence  will be held at Tanger Center on September 25th.*

Happy Saturday!
