GCMS Families,
Today marks the end of the first quarter of the 2022-2023 school year. It is hard to believe we have already been back together for 9 weeks. We encourage all families to utilize Infinite Campus to review their students progress routinely, but certainly should do so at the conclusion of each quarter.
Reminder that next Wednesday and Thursday are our annual Parent/Teacher conferences! Please call your child's respective schools to get signed up, we would love to see you.
Today I was blessed by a pre schooler with the picture attached. When I walked into the classroom she came up to me and handed me a folded piece of paper and waited patiently for me to open it. I asked her what it was and she replied "A Masterpiece" with a smile and said I could keep it.
In todays world we often get caught up in judging imperfections and lose the ability to enjoy a true "masterpiece". Thank you very much to this young lady for reminding me that children, teachers, parents, and schools can appear messy but in someone's eyes they are "a masterpiece."
It is a great day to be a Falcon!
Sincerely,
Mr. Darnell
