Principal Ten Eyck 

Dear GES Families,

As a reminder, this Saturday, December 6th is the PTO Chocolate Fundraiser Order Pick Up Day, 9am -  11am at GES.

Next week, Thursday, December 11th, is the GES Winter Band and Chorus Concert at 6:30pm at the Jr/Sr High. 

If you need a holiday gift, there are free books on a shelf outside Mary J. Tanner Primary School's front doors, 593 State Route 22, Granville. Pop in after school hours and help yourself.  

Wishing you a good weekend,

Ms. Ten Eyck 
Principal, Granville Elementary School
518-642-1051 Ext. 3202 tteneyck@granvillecsd.org

Please be sure to send your student with boots, warm jacket, hat, and gloves daily so your student can go outside for recess. 

Please label your student’s name in all of their belongings, as hats and gloves tend to go missing fast! 

If you need help obtaining any of these items, please contact Nurse Beecher: cbeecher@granvillecsd.org

Who doesn’t LOVE chocolate?

The 6th-grade class has started its annual chocolate fundraiser this week. It will run from December 3rd to December 19th.

This year, the students are selling 4 kinds of candy bars:
Creamy Caramel, Roasted Almond, Crispy Rice, and Milk Chocolate

Each 6th grade student will be given a box of 50 candy bars to sell for $2.00 each, so they will be responsible for raising $100 to help with 6th-grade activities throughout the year.

Some activities may include graduation, field trips, Art in Education projects, etc. Any money raised that is not used will follow the class into the Jr/Sr High School and help with getting their class funds started for high school.

If you are interested in supporting this group of amazing youngsters, contact a 6th-grader for your chocolate needs. We look forward to your support with this fundraiser.

If you have any questions, please contact your child’s 6th-grade teacher or Mrs. Halnon at fhalnon@granvillecsd.org 

Did you know that excessive screen time directly links to concerns with attention, behavior, and proper sleep patterns?

And did you know there's a difference between low-stimulation screen time and high-stimulation screen time?

Where to start?

Visit the Granville CSD Community School page for "Better Screen Time" tips to learn about low-stim vs high-stim screen time ideas.

Thank you,

Principal Ten Eyck
