Our Kindergartners loved making valentine animals with their 7/8th grade buddies this week! 💙
GCS will be closed tomorrow, 2/13/25, due to illness. Parents please check for an email from your child's teacher with instructions for a virtual learning assignment. Please join us in praying for renewed health for our staff and students! 💙
We are so thankful to live in a community where when there's an emergency, people show up!
A huge thank you to Rob Scholtens and All Around Excavating! We are so appreciative of you.
It must be a Wednesday at GCS!
These cuties were all excited to match today in their GCS spirit wear! There is always a shelf in the hall with some of our spirit wear available for purchase! Stop in and check it out! 💙
Friday fun in first grade!
We have some 100 year old Kindergartners in the building today to celebrate our 100th day of school! 🎉
Anya encouraged us this morning to not just "sing the words" but to really praise and focus on God, the creator of the universe.
We also celebrated our January kids who got "caught in the act of being kind."
Miss Wills' Class was able to say their scriptures from first semester at a memorizing party. Thanks Mr. VanderZanden, Mrs. Dickerson and Mrs. Eaton for joining the party and listening to the second graders say their verses.
Miss Wills' 2nd grade class did some amazing heart art in class! ❤️
Indoor recess. Lots of game playing today!
Today we were able to have two Star parties. Our first grade and second grade classes, both earned parties for getting 55 stars. Students can earn a star for getting caught in the act of kindness.
Once they collect 55 stars they earn a party.
Second grade had a Root Beer/Fanta orange, ice cream float party.
First grade had an ice cream with toppings and a movie party.
Both classes were able to wear their pajamas to school.
Way to go first and second graders!
Pastor Kevin brought us the message today in Chapel. He talked to us about studying the Bible to help us when temptation comes our way. When Jesus was tempted by Satan, He went right to the scripture when tested!

Today was daddy donut day in the preschool class! The kids were so excited to have their dads come and spend the morning with them. The Dad‘s were able to see what their kids do in school and were able to get in on some fun projects and were even able to attend gym class and have their faces shaved! The morning ended with a great devotion by board member Mike Bouwkamp along with yummy donuts. Thank you so much to all the dads who take time out of their work schedule to come spend time with their children.
To be young again and so excited to be out in the snow!
Another GCS student eager to serve!
1st grade and 5/6 reading buddies! Talked about who MLK Jr. was, what he did, and how we can show kindness to others like he did.
