Today the 4th graders visited the preschool room to help the preschoolers make a Christmas wreath ornament out of pennies. The 4th graders also got to make one for themselves. We are thankful to have a wonderful school where we can do things like this together!
Our Kindergartners and their 7th and 8th grade buddies had a Christmas tree competition today! They had to turn one teammate into a Christmas tree and could add presents or other decorations to their "tree." They all had so much fun! 🎄🎁
3/4 are having a blast during their Experiential Santa Economics unit. Students created their own businesses in which they made products/goods to sell. In order to start their businesses, they needed to take out a loan (which they have all successfully paid off!) and have experienced other 'bills' and paying obligations, all the while they've had to balance their spending, saving, and work time! They have experienced being producers in a producer/consumer world! They are looking forward to hopefully making a profit next week when the workshop is open!
Have a wonderful weekend!
We were able to recognize our top honor, honor, and kindness award winners today. Great job kiddos!
The snow has arrived!
Grandparent's Day 2025
We are so thankful for all of our Grandparents! This is always a special morning spent together in worship, a school program and classroom visits. We are so blessed to have all of these wonderful Grandparents here at GCS, who pour into our students, families and community! We love to see this legacy of faith! 💙
Our Kindergartners and 1st graders celebrated Thanksgiving a little early with a Thanksgiving feast! They enjoyed a feast for lunch and an afternoon together doing Thanksgiving projects! It was a great celebration and we are all so thankful! 💙
We have so much to be thankful for! 1st and 5th/6th grade buddies joined together once again to count their many blessings.
5th and 6th Graders have been busy collaborating with their classmates and 1st grade buddies to review math skills and good manners, and to investigate the Declaration of Independence. We are so blessed by small class sizes here at GCS!
We love Wednesdays at GCS. We have Chapel, Mr. D (our school grandpa) comes in and hangs out with our kiddos, and we get a fantastic hot lunch!
This morning at Chapel we had "Ask the Pastor." Kindergarteners through 8th graders write out their questions and put in the red bucket for the pastors to pull out. Thank you, Mr. Mark and Pastor Kevin!
Our Kindergartners celebrated Veterans Day today. They leaned all about the sacrifices these brave men and women have made and how we celebrate them with love and gratefulness! ❤️💙
Making a BIG deal out of the Great Awakening. 7th and 8th graders worked in groups to create (huge) posters to share with their classes on the events, people, and effects of the first Great Awakening.
When it's the 4th of November and you have beautiful weather like this for recess, you are thankful!
It was Pumpkin Day in K today! The Kinders got to share their pumpkin book reports, learn about their 5 senses through pumpkins, taste test pumpkin products and more! Mrs. Haan even got to join in on the fun!
This is what we're her for! Watching young hearts praising God, singing "What an Awesome God" this morning in Chapel.
Using frosting and graham crackers 3/4 simulated how tectonic plates move to observe what types of landforms they create! It was a good lesson on self control as well 😉as they waited through the whole lesson until they could eat their landforms!
Our K-2 students had a great time at Lewis Farms today! The weather was cold and some rain, but they still managed to have an amazing day in God's creation! They were blessed with some beautiful rainbows too!
Fifty Nifty United States from thirteen original colonies 🎶 5th and 6th graders spent the past few weeks researching one of the thirteen colonies, and today was the day when they finally got to show off their findings!
