Today the third and fourth graders helped the preschoolers make a paper chain for a countdown to Christmas. The paper chain is connected to a star to remind us of the star that God put in the sky when Jesus was born. ⭐️
Today at Chapel, Pastor Mike from New Life talked to the kids about not ignoring the warning signs that the Bible teaches. The Bible teaches us a lot about how we should live. Just because it looks good doesn't mean it's good for us! Pastor Connell gave 3 adults chocolate chip cookies. They said they were delicious! He asked for 3 kid volunteers, even though the sign by the cookies said "warning," they were happy to eat them. They were full of salt! When Pastor Mike asked them why did they eat them, they said because the 3 adults did and said they were good! We can be fooled into doing other things because other people are doing it. We can ignore the warning signs because we want it so bad!
As we celebrate the birth of Christ we remember how it started with a baby in the manger and ended up with a man on a cross. Our cross on the school property this morning reminds us of the ultimate sacrifice and the best gift ever given.
These kiddos are just waiting for snow!
Every Monday our preschoolers participate in P.E. "Mr. Mark Mondays" is one of their favorite days!

This year at GCS we started a program to reward good behavior. You receive a "star ticket" with your name if you "get caught in the act". That could be for holding the door, picking up trash, helping a friend, helping their teacher, repeating a bible verse, etc. Six names will be drawn out once a month and you are able to pick a prize. Those names then go into a drawing for the end of the year, for the Grand Prize. Each child that earns a star ticket will also get a star (K-4) or a flag (5-8). When their jar is full in their classroom they will receive a class prize.
