2. Give a short speech (1-2 minutes) to your class about why you would like to be involved in Student Council for the 2011-2012 school year.  Be sure to include reasons why you would make a good class representative and possible REALISTIC ideas you have for making Gombert a better place.

3. All class representatives will be chosen by the afternoon of Wednesday, Oct. 19th.

The first Student Council meeting for the 2011-2012 school year will be help on Thursday, Oct. 20th from 3:35-4:15 in Mrs. Njos's classroom.  Permission slips to attend this meeting will be sent home in backpack mail the day before.

GOOD LUCK to all potential class representatives!

Tree Dedication

On Thursday, June 2nd, Gombert students, staff, and teachers celebrated the dedication of the new tree purchased for the front of the school.  In May, students hosted a "Gator Market"/Bake/Plant Sale" fundraiser to raise money to purchase the new tree.  The sale was a success and the students raised over $200.  Just a few short weeks later, the tree was purchased along with a wood-burned plaque dedicating the tree to Gombert by "Student Council 2010-2011".

Just before school let out for summer, the tree was planted in the front of the school.

The students celebrated the planing of the new tree by blowing bubbles and singing our school song.  It was a great way for Student Council and other Gators students, staff, and teachers, to celebrate the end of the 2010-2011 school year and a celebration of new beginnings!

WAY TO GO GATORS!  HAPPY SUMMER!

Gigi had a couple of busy months.  She made a visit to help Mrs. Korda read for Dr. Seuss' birthday.  This was enjoyed by the first graders during their "Green Eggs & Ham" party.  She celebrated her 1st birthday by giving everyone "Happy 1st Birthday, Gigi!" pencils.  She showed up at "Skae Night" to do the HOkey Pokey with the crowd.  She loves to visit all of her gators friends!

THANKS to everyone who volunteered, donated baked goods & plants, and who came to the "Gator Marker" sale.  We raised over $275.00 for the purchase of te tree for the front of the school.

In honor of "Earth Day", Student Council had a FUN contest going for all the classrooms.  NOn-classroom staff initialed "Thinking Energy Smart" sheets for classrooms they thought were doing their part on Earth DaY.  The classroom winners were: grades K-1 = Mrs. Baker; grades 2-3 (3 way tie) = Mrs. Bretz, Mr. Ferrell, Mrs. Goodwin; grades 4-5 = Mrs. Rodriguez.  We also chose Mrs. Wenman, Mrs. Ensign, and Mrs. Wieseman as winners for taking the time to initial sheets.  Congratulations to all & thanks for helping take care of our Earth!
