GCMS Families,
Looks like Mother Nature is going to deliver a storm right at arrival time this morning. Please use caution around in this transition time, around buses, and around the school facilities. We always see an increase in traffic on weather days and we want everyone to arrive safe, sound, and as dry as possible.
Thanks for your attention!
