Check out this year's Hoot Hike tee, designed by GEMS parent Travis Olson! 👕 😍 🦉 GEMS students who raise $40 or more will receive their shirt AFTER the event this year, in order to ensure we print only the tees we need (this is a more sustainable and cost-effective method than pre-ordering).

Don't forget to turn in your coin banks and envelopes this Friday! (Students can drop off at the GEMS office, give to their teacher, or bring to the event.) We'll see you on the trails from 4-7pm! 🌲 🍂 🥾

The GEMS PTO is proud to offer an affordable, sustainable, and equity-based solution for back to school supplies each year. The $30 fee (https://garlough-pto.square.site/feepay) covers each student's supplies for the entire school year, including headphones, art materials, tissues, wipes, and more. We reuse & recycle supplies to get the most life out of each item, and save families time by making it easy!
