Mr. Singleton and Ms. Landry we’re able to spread some Christmas Cheer to the GCES staff today. This team puts in countless hours behind the scenes to ensure our students receive an A+ Education. Thank you all for what you do!
The PBIS Committee sponsored a “Let It Snow Safe, Respectful, and Responsible Behaviors” Event. Students redeemed 25 Dojo Points to participate. They played minute to win it type games and created a personalized snow globe.
Today all GCES students were gifted a stocking filled with treats and toys. This is possible through our partnership with the Thensted Community Outreach Center, Academy of the Sacred Heart, and Berchmans Academy. Thank you so much for your continued support to our school.
