A HUGE shoutout to Deals Orchard for the amazing donuts (Mr. Gorman definitely approved 🍩👌) and to Pam Betts for the delicious cookies—which disappeared so fast they missed the photo op! 🍪💨
We appreciate you both so much for putting a smile on our staff's faces this week! ❤️

🌳 Teamwork, challenges, and connections at YCamp!
Last week, GCMS 7th graders took their learning beyond the classroom during our trip to YCamp! Students had opportunities to practice communication, leadership, and teamwork—listening to others, taking turns, encouraging classmates, and working with peers beyond their usual friend groups.
The day’s challenges gave students a chance to persevere, build confidence, and see how their choices contribute to a team. These are skills we’ll continue building in the classroom and throughout our school community!
A big THANK YOU to BOOST, our middle school staff, and parents for supporting this experience. Your support helps make meaningful opportunities like this possible for our students! 💚

GCMS Let Grow Challenge Spotlight!
The Let Grow Challenge encourages students to step outside their comfort zones, try something new, and build independence and confidence along the way!
Today, we’re excited to spotlight four students and their challenges:
⭐ Mishael R. put air in a car tire for the first time and learned how to correctly use the air pump and read the tire pressure.
⭐ Catnyss H. used a riding lawn mower for the first time—and discovered that mowing can actually be fun!
⭐ Monroe R. started a gas weed eater for the first time. After troubleshooting an empty gas tank and a loose gas cap (and watching a few videos!), she figured it out!
⭐ Tayleigh T. loaded rocks with a skid loader for the first time and learned how important it is to pay attention to the controls while operating it.
Every challenge looks a little different because independence looks different for every student. Each new experience is a chance to leave their comfort zone and start spreading their wings.
We’re proud of our students for giving themselves the chance to try, and we can’t wait to see what they take on next!

Our 5th grade FCS students and their teacher, Ms. Ostrander, took their learning beyond the classroom with a special visit to Regency Park! 🐏
Students delivered beautiful wreaths they made themselves and, even more importantly, spent time visiting and connecting with the residents. The smiles, conversations, and shared moments made this a meaningful experience for everyone involved! ❤️
We are so proud of our students for spreading kindness and showing what it means to be a part of the Ram Family—and our larger community!
Way to show your Ram Pride, 5th grade! 🐏❤️

📼✨ 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! 🎶📸
