Granite Falls Elementary School PTO

As the 2025–2026 school year comes to an end, your PTO Co-Presidents, Wiley and Brittany, want to extend our sincere appreciation to the entire GFES community—our administration, teachers, staff, students, PTO board members, and especially the many volunteers who have helped make this year such a success. Looking back on our two years serving as PTO Co-Presidents, we’re filled with gratitude for the support, encouragement, and friendships we’ve gained along the way. It has truly been a rewarding experience to serve a school community that cares so deeply about its students and staff.

While it’s bittersweet to step away from our roles as Co-Presidents, we are excited to support our newly elected Executive Board and will remain involved as Parliamentarian members so we can continue serving and supporting GFES in the years ahead.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of so many special memories and meaningful moments. We wish everyone a safe, fun, and well-deserved summer break!

Don’t forget to share your end-of-school pictures in the comments below—we’d love to celebrate alongside you!

Attention grades 3-5,
the time is almost here!
The E.O.G. tests are upon us,
it is that time of year.

We got you a little reminder
to do the very best you can.
We are so incredibly proud of you
and definitely your biggest fans.

So take a deep breath, slow down
and show everything you know.
And just remember you’ve got this!
Love, your friendly PTO.

Teachers - we threw in an extra sticker for you,
because we think you are pretty awesome, too. 😉

A big huge THANK YOU to all of our PTO members and volunteers this year. You are seriously the MVPs, the GOATs, true icons and legends, queens and kings, superstars (ChatGPT ran out of good suggestions for other words but you catch my drift).

And a special thanks to our outgoing Board Members - you stepped up, you made things happen, you shared of your time and talents and for that, we are grateful!

(I promise ChatGPT only helped with synonyms for GOAT, the rest of this is from the heart.)

Happy National School Principals’ Day! 🎉
Today we celebrate and thank Mr. Windmiller for the incredible leadership, dedication, and heart he brings to our school every single day. His commitment to our students, staff, and community does not go unnoticed. We are so grateful for all that he does to make GFES a place where everyone feels valued, inspired, and proud to belong. Thank you for being such an amazing principal!
