GCMS Families, The cool weather this morning is a clear indication that winter is looming. I want to remind everyone that GCMS will once again use remote learning for "snow days" in 2022-2023. This will look different for every age and curricular area and we will do our best to allow for a balance of continuation of learning and embracing the challenges / joys of a snow day. Should a snow day occur, notifications will be posted on GCMS Social Media platforms and sent via text message. We want to remind you to be extremely cautious when navigating around the school buildings and school buses. If a bus is stopped please do not pass it on the road or in our parking lots! Finally, what an amazing day honoring a great showing of veterans for our annual Veterans Day ceremony at GCMS High School. Our students showed great respect and appreciation for those who provide(d) us with our freedoms and liberties. Special shout out to our student performers and speakers. It is a great day to be a Falcon! Sincerely, Mr. Darnell

Veterans Day 2022
Good afternoon! Just a reminder that tomorrow is the last day for our coin drive for the Gibson Area Food Pantry. The class that donates the most gets to ride in a bus for the lighted Christmas Parade and the grade level who donates the most gets a pizza party. Thank you in advance for your help for this great cause! Also, we are asking the elementary school to wear blue for our Veterans Day assembly tomorrow. Thanks! Mr. Kean
