🍎 GCMS Treat Trolley in Action! 🍎

A student in Mrs. Duncan's classroom put both his math and social skills into action with their Treat Trolley! After staff submitted their order forms, he carefully reviewed orders, filled them, and delivered delicious snacks and drinks to our middle school staff.

Not only did he practice important skills, but he also brightened everyone’s day along the way! 🌟

🚌 Bus Safety Week Success at GCMS! 🎒
Yesterday, our GCMS students got hands-on with crucial bus safety skills, led by Transportation Director Shawn Demoss! Safety is our top priority, and we're proud of our students for taking this training seriously.

Students gained valuable knowledge on general bus safety and emergency preparedness, including:
- Evacuation procedures (front, rear, side/window, and even rooftop hatch! )
- Locations of the fire extinguisher and med kit for emergencies.
- How to apply the emergency brake.
- The importance of exterior warning lights and the stop arm, and the serious penalties for breaking those laws!

Students successfully practiced the front door evacuation—a core skill for getting off the bus quickly and safely in a critical situation. We believe that practice and knowledge empower our students!

A big thank you to Mr. Demoss for leading this essential training! Let's keep safety first, always!

Mrs. Hinote and Mrs. Pederson spent the afternoon supporting December Iowa State Education graduates!

Mrs. Hinote participated in a principal panel where future educators could ask questions and gain insight, followed by a mock interview session where they provided valuable feedback to help graduates sharpen their interview skills.

They wrapped up the day networking and proudly promoting GCCSD — always spreading the Ram spirit and connecting with future teachers! ❤️🖤

A fun surprise during the day — they got to see former GCHS graduate, Caden Telleen the son of our own Heath and Sam Telleen! Always great to reconnect with Ram alumni making their mark in education! 🐏
