This committee strives to adopt projects that will include families, teachers and staff of GES to offer diverse programs to fulfill financial, material or service needs of our community.

Please consider signing up to volunteer to help with our Community Outreach committee. Sign up at Back to School Night or contact a PTA Board member.

Valentine Silver Angels!

Look for information to be sent home from school soon about our Valentine Silver Angels! 
We have "adopted" 28 Goochland County senior citizens and plan to shower them with Valentine cheer for the next couple weeks.  
Each class will have their very own angel to make them feel special and loved :-). 
Please encourage your child to make a card to show they care about the needy and elderly in our community!

WINTER WEAR DRIVE!!!

WOOL COATS AND BOOTS WITH LONG SCARVES AND WARM MITTENS. THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...

Goochland Elementary School
and the
PTA Community Outreach Committee
will be hosting a Winter Wear Drive and we invite you to help us!

November 6th through the 20th, we will be collecting
Gently Used or New
Coats, Hats, Gloves, Mittens, Scarves, and Boots
for children who are in need throughout Goochland County.

This is such a wonderful way to give back to our community!

GES and the PTA Community Outreach Committee

Chairperson: Crystal Todd

Please consider signing up to help us this year!

Committee members will find opportunities to help those in need in our local community and globally. This is a great way to help teach students to be good citizens. (ex: Food drive, gently used clothing or shoe drives, book drives, Silver Angel program, Spring Sing, etc.)

504 pounds for Stock the Pantry! WOW!

The "Stock the Pantry" Food Drive was a huge success with a total of 504 pounds of donations for the Goochland Food Bank! Wow! The second grade had the most collections weighing in at a total of 141 pounds of donations. Kindergarten came in second with 132 pounds.

Our second graders will be treated to a "Stock the Pantry" Pizza Party on Friday, May 1st. Many thanks to all of the GES/SC students and families for your overwhelming support!

Here is a picture of the food that was loaded into the bed of a pickup truck for delivery to the Food Bank.

BIG THANK YOU to EVERYONE! ! ! ! ! The Food Bank was very very very surprised and excited to see all the food! It will help out at least 50 - 60 families in need this week.
