Thank you, Representative Fox, for coming to GCS today! He read two great Dr. Seuss books to our K and 1 classes and was able to talk with our middle school as well! A reading month tradition that we love here at GCS!
A great way to end a sunny school day in 1st grade...chalk!
We have the cutest preschoolers! They were able to check out the chickens and the nature trail on this beautiful day!
Class color day for our last day of spirit week!
Pi day means circular snacks for math!

Today the 8th graders led chapel! We focused on Psalm 23.
The Lord is our shepherd. He leads us down the right path. He guides us through the dark times. He never leaves us alone!
Finding parallel and skew lines is better in the sun!
Today is "Matching Day" for spirit week! Wow! Our staff and students did a great job with this one!
Yesterday was "Mix Match Day" to kick off spirit week!
2nd graders played math games with their middle school buddies today!
Our 8th graders are having a pop can drive to help pay for their class trip! You may drop them off at GCS or contact the school (231-834-8445) for pick-up. They will be traveling to the Ark Encounter in May.
Today our Kindergartners had their star party for earning 55 stars for being caught putting others before themselves! Way to go Kinders! They even got to do "comfy" math today with partners! They had ice cream, wore their comfy clothes and got to watch a movie about arctic animals!
Third graders tapped the first maple tree of the season on Monday. 4th, 5th and 6th graders have also gotten to help with this project. They tapped 11 trees total. While the season is off to a slow start, they collected a quarter of a bucket of sap today when they went out to check the trees!
Yesterday, our 1st graders and their MS buddies created a crazy creature. Then together they wrote stories about this new creation! How fun!
Today the preschoolers were able to go on a bear hunt in the kindergarten room! The preschoolers made binoculars, and the kindergarteners hid the bears. They were all "successful hunters."
A small glimpse of the week at GCS:
Mr. Vander Zanden , Piper and Shae put on a skit at chapel this week, centered around Proverbs 26:11. We talked about getting bad habits out of our life and not returning to them.
We were able to enjoy local beef (hamburgers), french fries and milkshakes for hot lunch on Thursday.
We sure enjoyed the sunshine today and a little warmer temperature!
On our 100th day of first grade, we learned how many times we can write our names, stand up and sit down, draw a star, and many other tasks in 100 seconds.
The students thoroughly enjoyed their gift exchange, and many thank yous were heard throughout the room as the day ended.
Sledding Party and Hot Cocoa to celebrate the 2nd graders filling their teamwork jar again! Lots of fun on the fresh new snow! Keep up the amazing teamwork! ❤️ Miss Wills
