Are you looking for a way to donate to GCS? We would love your help with the #clearthelist movement! Help CLEAR our teachers' wish lists as they get ready to return to the classroom! How cool would it be to say that our teachers had all their lists cleared this year?!

Worker Bee Day
We had a great last day! The preschoolers giving Mr. Vander Zanden a big hug and a thank you was so precious! We were also able to sing Happy Birthday to Mrs. Wells and Mr. Nagy.
When you have a pretty cool band teacher that's willing to get in on the dodge ball game!
Looking for bullfrogs and turtles at recess today.
"My sweet Kindergartners graduated this afternoon! I am so proud of them! They have learned so much and I've loved seeing their hearts for God grow! Their lights for the Lord shine bright! My prayer for them is to continue to shine their lights for all to see and to use their gifts and talents for His Kingdom! I have loved being their teacher! Congrats my almost 1st graders!"
-Mrs. Knol
Yesterday was our cook-out/field day at GCS. We started with a fabulous lunch...burgers, brats, hot dogs, fresh fruit, fresh veggies, chips and four different types of dessert! After lunch the competition was on. Kids competed in chapel groups at the 40 yard dash, beanie baby blast, potato bowling, mind/teamwork games, zoom and flip the tarp. We completed field day with tug of war. The staff even got in on the action, to be defeated by the 7/8 graders!
Here are a few pictures of the 7/8 graders science books they are putting together.
Today was bike day during P.E. class! The kids were also able to ride them during recess.
Recess part 2...from playing with friends to enjoying the nature that God created for us to enjoy!
Recess...Such an important part of our day!
The preschoolers did a science experiment in their class. They put bean seeds on a moist paper towel and hung them in their classroom window to see if they would grow without dirt. They were amazed to discover that they started growing! Now, they will take them home and plant them in dirt to continue watching them grow.
We are excited to announce that today we received a $300 check from B2! We had the privilege of being their mission of the month back in March! We are so grateful for their partnership with GCS!
