Happy and ready to learn! 💙💙

Ms. Hensler’s second graders are mastering the parts of a complete sentence in a fun way! Using word cards, students built and wrote silly sentences—like “A cat was eating pizza on the playground.” 🤣
Such a creative and engaging way to learn—keep up the great work, 2nd grade!

Mrs. Greer’s 5th graders are diving into math in a hands-on way! Students are exploring the concepts of volume and measuring in square units, building a strong foundation for real-world problem-solving.


Our third graders are putting their teamwork skills to the test! Working in groups, they’re practicing “Accountability Talk” as they collaborate to either save Fred the worm or solve a mystery puzzle. It’s all about communication, problem-solving, and learning together!






We want to thank Duncan Kirkwood for joining us today and sharing his inspirational message of perseverance, goal-setting, and purpose with our students in grades 3–12.
Duncan encouraged our students to dream big, not let failure hold them back, and to discover their true purpose—the things they love to do. His words were uplifting, motivating, and left a lasting impact on our school community! 💙

Students in Mrs. Terzo and Mrs. Ross' class had a blast in PE with Mr. Mix and Mr. Grimsley! The students enjoyed playing games with the parachute—crawling underneath, laughing together, and especially playing the favorite game, Cat and Mouse!

Mrs. Cheney, Mrs. Wilcox, and Mrs. Garcia’s 7th-grade ELA students are kicking off the first quarter by exploring background information on the four independent reading books they’ll get to choose from. The students pictured are learning about the importance of clean water—a valuable resource that’s often taken for granted.




💙 In the first week of school, Mrs. Savino’s third graders focused on building classroom community! After listening to the story“The Legend of Rock Paper Scissors,” students joined in a class-wide competition while practicing the Go Blue traits of understanding, optimism, and bravery. Way to start the year strong, third graders!

GCS has officially woken up from its summer slumber!
The school year kicked off with our annual New Hire Mentor-Intern Day, followed by the full return of staff to campus. This exciting start provided an opportunity for both new and returning educators to come together, collaborate, and prepare for the year ahead.
We would like to extend a special thank you to our student guest speakers, Hazel Morgan and Natalie Capel, who shared powerful messages with our staff about the lasting impact teachers have on their students. Their words served as a meaningful reminder of the important work our educators do each and every day.
