We are down to the last few days for our coin drive benefiting our local food pantry (Nov. 13th is the last day to donate). Right now all grade levels are within $100 of each other in the grade level competition and 2C, 4B, 1A, and K3 are our top 4 classrooms. It isn't about the competition, but a little bit of healthy competition for a good cause is not a bad thing!!!

A reminder that GCMS Elementary School is holding a coin/money drive with all proceeds being donated to Gibson Area Food Pantry at Gibson Area Hospital (GAFP). Each classroom will be collecting monetary donations through Wednesday NOVEMBER 13, 2024.
The ultimate goal is to help those in need, but to help encourage donations, the class who donates the most $ will get to ride on a decorated school bus in the lighted Christmas Parade and the winning grade level will receive a pizza party courtesy of our bus drivers. Thanks in advance for your donations!
