Programs & Services
Basketball Teams
We have basketball teams for Fourth and Fifth Grade boys and girls. Watch the parent bulletin for details of open gym hours and tryouts in October and November. *Information will be provided via the Parent Bulletin and/or ParentSquare.Â
Safety Patrol
Fourth and fifth grade students and parent volunteers: take a part in assuring the safety of all Gomes students during the morning and afternoon commute. As a part of Gomes safety patrol, you help Gomes students cross the local streets safely, and you help them into and out of their cars. You also help parents understand the rules that allow the morning and afternoon commutes operate efficiently and safely.
Every student and parent on the Gomes Safety patrol work the morning and afternoon once per week. Sign up at the end of the previous school year, and then take part in a training session just before the school year starts.
*Please visit Gomes PTA at gomespta.org for contact and information.
Boy Scouts
If your son is in first through fourth grade and is interested in learning life and leadership skills while having fun, come to the cub scout informational night held mid September to find out more (for exact date please see the calendar on our pack website). Parents may bring their potential scout. We especially are looking for more first and second grade boys to join.
Cub Scout Pack 447 meets at Gomes School and provides opportunities for boys in the first through fifth grade. This unit is over 35 years old and has provided consistent quality programs for 50 to 70 boys each year. The boys meet together as a pack monthly, and individually in smaller groups of between 4 and eight boys more frequently in groups called dens or patrols. Scouting provides opportunities for youth to have fun, develop leadership skills, grow and develop physically, mentally, and morally. See the pack website for information on joining the Cub Scouts
Boy Scout Troop 111 provides great learning experiences and camaraderie for boys in the sixth grades.
Yearbook Art Contest
Create a work of art with the Gomes theme of the year, and it could grace the cover of the Yearbook! Your classmates and their parents vote for their favorites, and the artwork that collects the most votes is the winner. Watch the Parent Bulletin and the web site for this year contest announcement.
*Please visit Gomes PTA at gomespta.org for contact and information.
Young Author's Contest
Every two years (alternating with the Science Fair), Fremont Unified School District holds the Young Authors Contest. Students of any grade are encouraged to create a fictional story which is then judged on originality, grammar, and organization. Winners move on to the district competition.
