Dear GWCS Community,

We’re reaching out to you as the grateful parents of two 2020 GW Community School graduates, and the current President and Fundraising Chair of the recently relaunched GW Community School Foundation. 

We are kicking off our Month of Giving with an ambitious fundraising goal of $25,000, and a continued focus on supporting the unique and unmatched GWCS student experience. Throughout the month of March, we’ll share personal stories about how your donations impact and inspire our GWCS students. 

All donations to the foundation are tax-deductible, and directly impact every GWCS student. 

The GW Community School Foundation is a philanthropic 501(c)(3) organization formed in 2014 by a group of committed parents. The Foundation continues today with a focused goal of providing financial support for programs, activities and events that enhance and enrich the students’ community and educational experience at GWCS. 

Here are a few examples of how and where the GWCS Foundation can make an impact:

  • Academic Enrichment (Micro-Farming Phase 1, Experiential Field Trips, Guest Speakers, etc.)

  • Trips and Activities (OBX: Out-of-the-Box Learning Experiences, Senior Essay Writing Retreat, Junior Gettysburg trip, Camp Coyote, etc.)

  • Athletics (Basketball, Volleyball, Sports Management, etc.)

  • Clubs (Theater, Music, Movies, Yearbook, etc.)

  • GWCS Traditions (Heritage Feast, Event Night, Coyote Day, etc.)

We welcome your support through the GW Community School Foundation.  To learn more and make your tax-deductible donation, go to gwcsfoundation.org.

With thanks for your support,

Suzanne Parisi

FRESH VEG NEEDED…

ESPECIALLY KALE!

This is Tortellini, our resident Russian Tortoise.

He is a ferocious plant eater. Kale leaves quake in his presence.

We have three turtle friends: Grouchy and Sweetie (red-eared sliders), and Tortellini (Russian tortoise). They are all on a natural raw diet which mainly consists of fresh, leafy greens! If you have any veggies from home or want to purchase and donate food items - it is much appreciated! Please bring donations directly to Ms. Kohler in the lab. The below list are their favorite staples. Thank you for helping keep our beloved school pets well nourished!

  1. Kale

  2. Mustard greens

  3. Shredded carrots

  4. Yellow squash

  5. Zucchini
