Show your school spirit, Rams! 🐏 Students may wear school-appropriate hats on Friday, October 30!
A few reminders:
🧢 Hats must be school-appropriate.

I would also like to extend a BIG thank you to all the families who were gracious enough and lent us boards to use. Because of you, our students may have learned a new game or sharpened up on their prior skills in cornhole. I really appreciate your efforts in supporting our continued fun in PE :)
**Not all champions are pictured as some were gone**
Thank you,
Ms. Dolder

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! 💚



Happy Instructional Coaches Day to our amazing GCCSD Instructional Coaches! 🍎💙
Thank you for being the encouragers, problem-solvers, thought partners, and champions for our teachers and students. Your support makes a difference every single day! We appreciate YOU! 🫶📚✨
