Little Ram Preschool has been a longstanding tradition at GCHS within the Family Consumer Science department and it is continuing into 2026-2027. Registration is open for Fall 2026. Teacher-facilitated, GCHS Student-led preschool!
Nothing says summer is almost here like great food and even better company! ☀️
After the buses rolled out on Friday afternoon, teachers from both the elementary and middle school gathered to enjoy some food, fellowship, and time together as we wrapped up another amazing school year.
A huge thank you to Midwest Prime Steak & Seafood and Matt Salter for providing the meat, and to Doug Brown for firing up the grill and cooking for our staff. We appreciate your generosity and support of our schools!
It was a great way to celebrate the teamwork, dedication, and relationships that make our school community so special. ❤️🖤 #RamPride #StrongerTogether #CommunitySupport #EndOfYearCelebration
After a fantastic run, it's time for the final episode of The Cave.
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who listened, shared, and supported the podcast throughout its journey. Your encouragement and enthusiasm helped make this project a success and gave our students a platform to share their voices with the community.
A special thank you goes to the girls who dedicated their time, energy, creativity, and personalities to creating such a fun and engaging podcast. Their willingness to step behind the microphone, tell stories, ask questions, and keep the conversations going is what made The Cave such an enjoyable experience week after week.
We are incredibly proud of everything they accomplished and grateful for the memories created along the way.
Thank you for joining us on this journey. We hope you've enjoyed listening as much as we've enjoyed making it.
One last time - welcome back to The Cave!

It's been a great school year of reading, but why stop there? Sign up for a summer of reading fun at the Jefferson Public Library!
Embark on a journey to the past of Jurassic proportions with "Unearth a Story", the Jefferson Public Library 2026 Youth Summer Reading Shin-Dig!
"Shin-dig"? Yes, you read that right. They're changing things up this year. Kids and teens who sign up receive a "field journal" and a sticker...then continue to receive small prizes throughout the summer for every 140 minutes that they log! The more you read, the closer you get to their grand prize drawings.
Even better, summer programs are now open to the public! Enjoy "excavation digs", visits from Blank Park Zoo and the Science Center of Iowa, after-hours movie nights, and more planned this summer.

Yesterday in 5th grade Social Studies, students had the opportunity to participate in a "Reading Camp Out!" Students visited multiple campsites around the classroom, introducing them to our new mini-unit on the Civil Rights Movement. They read with their groups about key leaders and events of the movement by campfire light. Our students completely immersed themselves in these stories and shared their learning as a class community!
Join us for our Summer Meal Program! Participating at four different locations! June 8th through July 31st, 2026.

Today we celebrate our amazing 5th grade students as they complete the D.A.R.E. program! We are proud of the lessons they’ve learned about making safe and responsible choices, showing leadership, and building confidence for the future.
As part of the D.A.R.E. program, each 5th grade student writes an essay reflecting on what D.A.R.E. has meant to them. Officer Mark Wolterman selects one student each year to receive a special award for their essay. Congratulations to this year’s winner, Cameron M.!
A special thank you to Officer Mark Wolterman and the Jefferson Police Department for your continued partnership, support, and dedication to our students through this program. We are also incredibly grateful to the Greene County Sheriff's Office for their support in helping make D.A.R.E. possible year after year.
Great work to all of our 5th graders on this accomplishment! 🎉👏
