GCES is excited to announce that we are participating in Arc of Acadiana's annual Mardi Gras Bead Drive. So as you go out to celebrate Mardi Gras, bring any beads that you do not want to GCES between February 23 and March 3. The class that collects the most beads (by weight) will win a class pizza party. More importantly, Al beads collected will be resold by Arc of Acadiana to help fund programs for Adults with Disabilities in our area. Thanks in advance for your participation.
Today GCES was able to join First Book and GM for February's STEM Careers all Year virtual reading event to hear about how creativity plays a role in STEM!
Former GCES student, Theogene (Theo) Lavergne, Jr. and Cedric Stokes, both from GM, shared how their early interest in tinkering with toys, being creative and enjoyment in inventing led them to their careers in STEM at General Motors.
We are so proud to see a product of Grand Coteau sharing his inspirational story with the world.
We would like to send special Thanks to Mr. Dustin Cravins, who on his birthday, decided to surprise GCES with delicious King Cakes, cinnamon rolls, donuts, milk, and orange juice.
