🐏❤️🖤 RAM SPIRIT FRIDAY! ❤️🖤
We wrapped up HOCO week with Ram Spirit from head to toe! Our students showed up decked out in their Ram gear and brought the energy all day long! 🙌🐏
And then… it was time to PEP RALLY! 📣🔥
The competition was CLOSE, but the 8th grade squeaked out the win by just ONE point and gets to keep the Spirit Stick! 🏆🐏
👏 7th grade brought the heat, while 5th and 6th grade showed AMAZING effort and were never far behind! It was a whole-school battle of Ram Pride!
What a way to finish an incredible HOCO week! ❤️🖤

📼✨ Yesterday, GCMS hit rewind! ✨📼
Our Rams time-warped back to the 2000s for HOCO Y2K Day! From iconic throwback fashion to all the looks that had us saying, “Wait… we actually wore that?!” 😂💿🕶️
The halls were filled with Y2K vibes, big personalities, and even bigger Ram Pride! 💜💚💙💗
Our students definitely understood the assignment and brought the 2000s back in style! 🎶📸

Mrs. Pederson helped make Homecoming Friday a little brighter by celebrating Dolly Parton Day (9 to 5) with a cart full of pink snacks for our staff!
Thank you, Mrs. Pederson, for always finding ways to keep things fun and for giving everyone a much-needed pick-me-up on a dreary Friday morning. We appreciate you!

Huge thanks to these boys for showing great leadership, teamwork, and school pride! 💪 #StudentLeaders #GagaBall #SchoolSpirit #Teamwork
