Our last spirit day of the week was class color day!
The third and fourth graders visited the preschool class today to help the preschoolers make a leprechaun project! 💚
Our 7/8th grade students playing games they made to reinforce the lessons they learned in Bible class!
It's March Reading Month! Mrs. Deurloo, an author and a parent of two children at GCS, has been teaching our kids how to write a book, the different types of a book, how to make a storyline, etc. Our kids have been able to work on their books with their chapel groups. She shared with us God is the best author of all time, and most of us have the best selling book in our house, the Bible!
This past Monday we were excited to host local author Jill Barry-Cowan. Jill read to our Preschool through 2nd grade students her "Millie Dreams of Michigan" book.
Pajama/comfy day today! Spirit week has been so much fun!
Sports Day today! ⚽️🏀🏈⚾️🎾
Do you have a cool Principal? We sure do! Mr. Vander Zanden volunteers to cover lunch recess so our teachers are able to have their lunch time.
Not only did Mike Folkema and Mike Bouwkamp get some of our difficult maintenance repairs accomplished last weekend, Mike Kruithoff and the Kruithoff electric crew came in and wired some new outlets in the gym. John Veenstra and Dave Kooienga built speaker shelves and installed free TVs from Miss Whiteside's (STEM teacher) dad, for gym and music class. . Thank you so much to our hard-working volunteers who took time out of their weekend to improve our school!
