Guadalupe's Chef's Night Out this Wed 4/5

Take a break from cooking and come enjoy dinner with other Guad families at Almaden Ranch!  

Our Fifth Grade has worked with two restaurants to help fundraise for their end-of-year class gift to Guadalupe. When you order take-out or bring your family to MOD Pizza and Panda Express (all day), a generous portion of sales will benefit our graduating class. 

**Please share the flyers/use the codes below when purchasing your meals- Thank you!**

FAMILY DANCE THANK YOU!

Michelle Guaraldi, Nilu Deheragoda, and Komal Bhargava welcomed our families to "the jungle" and hosted a FABULOUS school dance - the first since 2019!  Families who attended were blown away at the attention to detail, making each of us feel proud to be a part of Guadalupe.

A huge thank you goes out to this team of creatives and organizers for their enthusiasm, effort, and dedication to bringing our community together! With their youngest children graduating this year, we are grateful to Nilu and Michelle for their countless volunteer hours and big hearts!  

We also give shout-outs to the generosity of our parent volunteers who helped set up, decorate, serve, and hype up the event! Fun and exciting opportunities like this come to life when families are involved.

If you are interested in helping next year with the Family Dance, please contact <volunteer.ghsc@gmail.com>.

YEARBOOK THANK YOU!

To our fearless and flexible yearbook chairs, Brian HK and Nancy Millward- huge applause for their tireless efforts to collect, sort through, organize, and highlight our students, staff, and community, since August. Also, cheers to the team of parents who created their classroom pages!

This year, we can look forward to 180 carefully curated and colorful pages. Thank you Brian and Nancy for memorializing these wonderful moments in time that our kids can look back on and cherish for years to come!
