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! ❤️💙

When it's the 4th of November and you have beautiful weather like this for recess, you are thankful!

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!

They have been collecting money at the front office, and are looking for donations of non-perishable food (jerky, crackers, granola bars, etc.), new adult socks, hand sanitizer, pocket tissues, first aid supplies, bottled water, small Bibles, etc. Please consider donating any of these items, even loose change to help support this opportunity to share the gospel! They will be collecting money and supplies until October 23rd.
Scarecrows, pumpkins, and turkeys, oh my! 1st graders joined up with their 5th and 6th grade buddies for a fun afternoon of fall charades and reading games. Wednesday buddy afternoons are often a highlight of a middle schooler's week in the GCS community.
Did you know it's fire safety week? Our Preschoolers and Kindergartners have been learning all about fire safety and today they got to go to our local fire station. They learned all about fire safety, what to do if there's a fire at their house, and what a fireman looks like! They had a great visit to the fire station! Thank you Ashland Grant Fire District! ❤️
