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!
Future Career Day at GCS! We know that God has great plans for each one of our students! 💙
Western day at GCS today! 🤠
Way to go Chargers!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations to our volleyball team for taking home the win at their tournament today! 🏐💙 We are so proud of you for your Christian sportsmanship!
Our 3rd and 4th graders had a great day for a field trip to Blandford Nature Center. Our students had a great time learning about the maple syrup making process. They even got to have lunch at Chick-fil-A!
Our student intern Cotter Scholtens has started different card game tournaments on Wednesdays. During recess the Middle Schoolers love to take on the competition, especially teachers!
The first and second graders are learning collaboration through their study of the states, and in working on the reading month theme poster. Thank you to those who have participated thus far and happy reading month!
GCS had a great night against Lamont Christian and New Era Christian, winning both games. The kids played well and there were some great volleys and excellent serving. Way to go GCS!
Today in Art students recreated The Highwaymen's Art....a group of young American men that traveled the back roads of Florida painting fast, impressionistic Floridian landscapes out of the trunks of their cars...we tried to capture the speed and energy of these amazing pieces.
The preschool class had their Annual Bear Hunt today!! First, they read the book, "Going on a Bear Hunt!" by Michael Rosen. Then they decorated their own binoculars! Finally they visited the kindergarten room where they looked for and found their own teddy bear! A special thank you to the kindergarten class for hiding the Bears!
Is your collection of books getting too big? We would love to help you! We are collecting books for our book exchange at the end of march! All extra books will be donated to our school library or passed out by our middle school students during a service project! All books can be dropped off to the school library or office!
We sure love the sunshine and playing with friends! ☀️
We are having an elementary book swap at GCS! The kids get to bring in books and during the month of March they will get to choose new books to take home!
Our middle schoolers are collecting donations of books for a service project too! If you have any books you'd like to donate, feel free to drop them off at the school office or school library!
GCS will be closed today, February 15th, due to weather.
Today our Kindergartners got to have a PJ day with a movie and icecream sundaes! Why were they so lucky? Well, they earned 55 stars in our behavior program. This means that they put God and others before themselves 55 times!! Wow! 💙 We love watching our students live out our theme!
ALL of our classes preschool-8th grade have now earned 55 stars and are starting to fill their "star jars" back up! 🎉
Our first grade classroom was the first to earn a "Star Party." Students can earn stars (K-4) or flags (5-8) for getting "caught in the act" of doing something good. Each class needs to have 55 stars/flags to earn a reward. They chose an ice cream/movie party. They also were able to wear pajamas and bring a favorite stuffed animal.
First and second graders spent time learning about the earth and its many layers. They loved learning more about our Creator.
Detroit Lions spirit day today! Go Lions! 💙🦁
Snow sure makes recess fun!
