Dear Gesu Families,

As we transition into the cooler months, this is a friendly reminder that our winter uniform policy goes into effect on Monday, October 5.  Please ensure your child comes to school dressed in the appropriate winter uniform as outlined in our school handbook.  Click HERE to review the dress code.  With one more full week before we transition to the winter uniform, please consider the ever changing weather during this time.  Please consider layers, as morning recess has been rather chilly.

We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the families who have supported the PTO Read-A-Thon Fall Fundraiser.  Your generosity and enthusiasm have brought us so very close to our school-wide goal of $130,000!  This fundraiser officially ends tomorrow so we encourage all students to keep reading and logging their minutes.  Every page read and every dollar raised helps support exciting programs and resources for our school community.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership.

AMDG,

Gesu School Administration

Beaumont

Beaumont warmly welcomes our future Blue Streaks in Gesu's 8th grade class to shadow on October 23, 28, 29, or 30! Sign up today by completing an inquiry form here and then selecting "Register for a Shadow Day" on your Blackbaud Checklist.

Your daughter will start her day with a drink from our student-run Angie's Café, then explore campus on a personal tour, join a class selected just for her, attend a Q-and-A, and enjoy Chef Bo’s famous lunch with fellow Shadows and Ambassadors. Traditional Shadow Days run from 8:30 AM-12:15 PM, but if your daughter would like to stay for a longer day, we'd love to have her! Please contact the Admissions team at 216-325-1661 or admissions@beaumontschool.org.
 
Don't forget to catch a Beaumont Open House on Sunday, September 27 or Sunday, November 8. Entry times at 11 AM and 12 PM. Register on your Blackbaud Checklist. Come experience the Beaumont difference.

Gilmour Academy

This year, Gilmour Academy is blocking off October 23, 28 and 29 as a day for Gesu students to shadow. Due to our small class sizes, block schedules and Shadow Experience model — where students attend real classes to experience the unique atmosphere of our classrooms — we have a limited number of spots available each day. To shadow, please complete an inquiry here and sign up for your shadow day here. For any questions, please contact Mary Stretar (Stretarm@gilmour.org) or Jeanne Tippen (Tippenj@gilmour.org) via email or phone (440) 473-8050.
