We loved seeing our former roadrunners all grown up and ready to graduate! The desks may be too small but you’re never too big for the playground. Thank you to all the class of 2026 grads who came back and let us celebrate them one more time 💙💛

We're having an amazing field day, but the day isn't all fun and games--we're also taking a moment to help our community! Students are packing personal supply kits to donate to those in need. A huge thank you to Great Falls Elementary PTA and Northwest Federal Credit Union for organizing and providing the supplies! 💙

Field day is just a week away! Thank you to all who have signed up to help--we cannot do it without the support of our amazing GFES families!

Tonight, one of our amazing 6th graders received the Great Falls Optimist Club “Helping Hands” Award. This special honor recognizes a 6th grader who consistently demonstrates kindness, inclusion, and respect within our school community. Covington truly embodies these values every day, and we are incredibly proud of her poise, leadership, compassion, and positive impact on those around her. 💙❤️💛
