transformation as we prepare to move our Lower Campus and make improvements to our Upper Campus. We\u2019ve already held a community-wide run bridging the Holton campus to the new Watertown location and hosted a lively party with music and dancing for our parents and staff. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout the school year, we invite you to support key initiatives to make a difference at GISB. The Annual Fund runs year-round to enhance and sustain vital school programs. Each Fall, the Parent Council encourages all families to contribute to the Teacher Appreciation Fund as a meaningful way to thank our dedicated teachers and staff. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout the year, various student groups and community organizations may organize fundraisers for specific causes, such as the Abiball graduation celebration. Please note that event details may be adjusted to meet community needs and schedules.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We will also reach out to you twice during the year: once at the end of the calendar year and again during our annual spring fundraising campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you are new to GISB or a long-time member of our community, we encourage you to mark your calendars and participate. Your support of the GISB Annual Fund is vital to our success. Together, let\u2019s make this year unforgettable!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1bdpkm-bb3cb31c76c6bf8f6d4de5c4933a7526\">\n.flex_column.av-1bdpkm-bb3cb31c76c6bf8f6d4de5c4933a7526{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  id=\"matching\"  class='flex_column av-1bdpkm-bb3cb31c76c6bf8f6d4de5c4933a7526 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-26  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_two_third  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-l02vudar-788da5946a9726e975c2c74e3eb89c7d '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>Ways to Donate<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-16gkni1-d8687c6bb7c1ece0191e93311a692952 av_two_third  avia-builder-el-28  el_after_av_one_third  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lf49g2yp-a7433c46db35f030c7894bbb19682f13\">\n#top .togglecontainer.av-lf49g2yp-a7433c46db35f030c7894bbb19682f13 p.toggler{\nborder-color:#fa8821;\n}\n#top .togglecontainer.av-lf49g2yp-a7433c46db35f030c7894bbb19682f13 .toggle_wrap .toggle_content{\nborder-color:#fa8821;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='togglecontainer av-lf49g2yp-a7433c46db35f030c7894bbb19682f13 av-elegant-toggle  avia-builder-el-29  avia-builder-el-no-sibling ' >\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-lf494twf-486133296c31066a7159c833015fc77d'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-1' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-1' class='toggler  activeTitle av-title-above av-inherit-border-color'  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-1' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Online\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Online\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Online\">Online<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-1' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-1' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  active_tc av-title-above' style='display:block;' ><div class='toggle_content invers-color av-inherit-border-color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gisbos.org\/donate-now\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">online donation<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; options include <strong>Venmo, PayPal, and credit card<\/strong>.
