GCMS Families,
We want to make everyone aware that starting on Tuesday, May 14th we will begin the demolition of the press box and old restrooms that are attached to the East bleachers at the athletic complex. Over the course of the next six weeks this area will be under construction replacing the press box and completing some blacktop work. Please stay clear of the East bleachers for the duration of the project. Use of the track for walking and other facilities should not be impacted. Thank you for your attention in this matter to ensure everyone's safety.
Sincerely,
Mr. Darnell

Welcome to the 1970's!
Two more decades to go before they wrap up the school year. For this decade, Mrs. Young's Baking Essentials class made Penguin Icebox Cakes "as speedy as Gonzales, easy as pie, and tasty as ever!" according to the Baking Yesteryear cookbook (@bdylanhollisofficial). Icebox cakes gained in popularity as home refrigerators became more and more common. With 4 simple ingredients, it was pretty quick to assemble! It's an easy crowd-pleaser for the summer since it's no-bake and can be made the day before.
The final issue of the GCMS High School Newspaper is now available! Great job by all of our high school journalists! https://drive.google.com/file/d/121gu7YTpXyfMdPna_jlmiLHfIredYbTT/view?usp=sharing

Families,
We have a significant number of lunch account balances that are negative approaching the end of the school year. Please take some time and follow the attached instructions to update your children's accounts. Account balances do carry over from year to year and should you depart the school district refunds are given.
IMPORTANT: Children carrying negative balances entering the 2024-2025 school year will be restricted from social events and extracurricular participation.
We recognize that this is often an oversight and we appreciate everyone's attention on this matter!
Sincerely,
Mr. Darnell
