GCMS Community,
It is with great sadness that we share with you that Colin Kristensen class of 2024 was tragically killed in a car accident on Tuesday, May 30th in rural Ford County.
Colin was an amazing young man who was active in a diverse set of activities from athletics, Agriculture and FFA, and was incredibly talented in the technical aspects of our performing arts programs. The family, students, staff, and community are shocked and saddened by the sudden loss.
The GCMS community always rises to the occasion to support our children and families, and we want to thank everyone who has already reached out to do so. We ask that everyone respects the privacy and grieving process of the family and those closest to Colin.
Information on arrangements will be provided when made available by the family. Thank you for your support, thoughts, and understanding in this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Darnell
GCMS Superintendent
The placing of flags at our veterans' gravesites that was planned for this Saturday has been cancelled. The ground is too hard to put the flags in and they do not want to break the flag sticks. We appreciate any students that were planning to help. Have a great Memorial Day Weekend!
