Good Evening GCES. On Saturday evening our school suffered a great loss when Ms. Sandra Pitre, paraprofessional in our Learning Center, passed away. She has served our community for over 40 years. We did not make school-wide announcements, as we wanted you to have an opportunity to speak to your child at home. If you feel your child needs to speak further with someone, counseling services are available. Please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers. Have a good evening.
