GCS will be closed tomorrow, January 12, due to weather. Stay safe and we will see you on Tuesday.
Our students are LOVING the snow! ❄️
Today was 50th day of school for Preschool! They celebrated by painting 50th rockin day of school crowns and the kids each brought 50 of their favorite snack to make a trail mix for snack time. They are officially 50 days smarter!!!!
Two weeks ago we asked for donations for the Little Bears Closet in White Cloud.
They are partnering with the Newaygo County Council for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (PCA). On Monday we will be delivering all of the collected items. To encourage participation we asked classes to try to out give each other. The preschool class is leading so far! We will still accept donations through Monday morning.
Our second graders have been working with robotics and talking about how to communicate with the robot to give it instructions. STEM class is so fun!
In STEM the first graders have been talking about inventions. They are bringing them to life using legos.
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!

The preschoolers were excited today when they learned about how the pilgrims popped corn! They were happy to watch it pop and eat it too!
Third and fourth grade STEM students spent time testing what they have learned about Newton's laws of motion. They designed parachutes to toss off the back stairway.
Second grade harvested our first radish from the greenhouse garden and got to taste test it.!
