📚✨ GCS had a special guest visit our elementary school yesterday—author Kelly Milner Halls! She’s written amazing nonfiction books for kids about the Titanic, WWII, animal heroes, and more—including Tiger in Trouble and Courageous Canine from National Geographic! Kelly inspired our students to stay curious, think critically, and maybe even become the next generation of writers!

🎒 Getting Ready for Kindergarten! 🍎 We recently welcomed future Kindergartners from UPK for a special visit as they prepare for the big transition this fall!
