GCMS Families,
Wednesday of Teacher Appreciation week and we are sprinting to the finish of another school year. We are truly in this together to teach and guide our kids through their educational journey. It is not always easy but it is always worth it. Take a minute and positively build a relationship today! Send a note of praise or thanks, show some appreciation for the effort not the result, embrace the humanity of our task with an attitude of growth and shared accountability. We all teach our kids and they are always watching. Thanks for doing your part!
Falcon Proud!
Mr. Darnell
