GCMS Families,
Our evening Elementary Concert will continue as scheduled tonight. The weather conditions are not ideal but we are working to make the areas around the high school safe for arrival and departure. Please use extreme caution in transition and we understand and respect the fact that some children and families will choose to not attend due to the weather.
Thank you for your understanding and be careful!
Sincerely,

One of the advantages of being a Unit School District is the connections that can be made throughout the buildings. GCMS PreK students received visitors from the High School Music Department! The Band and Choir members sang, played, and shared information about their instruments.
