Our 6th grade team represented GCMS so well at the Battle of the Books yesterday! While we didn’t place high enough to bring home a trophy, they competed right alongside the top half of teams and had an outstanding day. Out of nearly 40 teams, finishing somewhere in the top 6–10 across the three testing rounds is something to be proud of!
Beyond the competition, it was a great experience meeting other teams and seeing their creativity. Most importantly, our students were kind, respectful, and truly represented GCMS in the best way.
A special thank you to Mrs. Powers for sponsoring this incredible opportunity for our students!
A big thank you to everyone who supported our Battle of the Books teams throughout the year—especially those who allowed students to meet during reading interventions and encouraged them to keep reading. Their dedication paid off, and I know they’re already excited for next year!
Great job, GCMS!

Shout out to our transportation department on National School Bus Driver day!! (Not all drivers are pictured) We are so thankful for everything you all do for our school district and transporting our students safely!! THANK YOU!




🎉 Tattoo a Teacher is HERE! 🎉
We are selling tattoos during lunches this week, and students can purchase them for $1, $2, $4, or $6 and pick a teacher from the list to wear them on Friday!
The goal? Let’s get our teachers as TATTED UP as possible! 😄 The more tattoos, the better (and funnier) it will be!
This is all about having fun, building school spirit, and seeing our staff step outside their comfort zone a little.
Let’s do this, GCMS—who’s going to be the most tatted teacher?! 👀💥

On Thursday, our 7th grade math teacher, Mr. Sheldon, gave us all a fun (and very fitting!) perspective as we continue to ride the 6–7 trend with our students. 📊
For those who love a good countdown—not to rush time, but to celebrate the journey—he pointed out that by the end of the day, we had less than one-seventh of the school year left with students. That means we’ve officially made it through SIX SEVENTHS of the school year!

On Wednesday, Greene County 5th grade and Paton Churdan 5th grade students attended a program provided by Iowa State Extension at Clover Hall.
For Earth Day, the students learned about many animals, the jobs needed to run a farm, soil erosion, soil composition, soybeans, and cover crops.
Thank you to BOOST, Iowa State Extension, Greene County Conservation Department, Greene County Farm Bureau, and Iowa Cover Crop for providing this opportunity for our students.
