🎉 Celebrate 65 Years of Learning, Laughter, and Legacy at Gretna Elementary! 🎉

Since opening its doors in 1960, Gretna Elementary School has been a cornerstone of our community—shaping generations of learners with pride, tradition, and heart. Now, as we celebrate our 65th birthday, we’re inviting you to be a part of honoring our past while investing in our future.

For over six decades, Gretna Elementary has been more than just a school—it's been a second home for students, a place where lifelong friendships are formed, and where teachers light the spark of curiosity that lasts a lifetime. From chalkboards to smartboards, we’ve grown together—and now it’s time to grow again.

🌟 Our PTO Goal: To upgrade and revitalize the school playground, creating a fun, inclusive, and safe space for current and future students to play, grow, and thrive.

The playground is more than a place for recess—it’s where imaginations run wild, confidence takes root, and lifelong memories are made. With your help, we’ll bring new energy and opportunities to this vital space.

✨ Whether you’re an alumnus, parent, grandparent, teacher, staff, or proud community member, this is your chance to give back to the school that gave so much to you. Let’s come together to honor 65 years of excellence—and help build a brighter, more playful future for the next generation of Gretna Dragons.

Donate today, share the story, and be part of something lasting.

All funds raised as part of the 65th birthday celebration will be used by the GES PTO for the playground project. Contact gretnapto@gmail.com with any questions.
