🎨🖍✏️ Our rising kindergarteners are getting a boost this summer through Save the Children’s KinderBoost program at GCES! Even though most of these students already know their way around from Pre-K, KinderBoost is giving them an extra head start with hands-on learning, playful activities, and a chance to build even more confidence before the big jump to kindergarten. From outdoor painting fun to working with numbers, letters, and rhyming sounds, we’re excited to see these young learners continue to grow and shine! #GoGilmer

Summer School Programs begin in Gilmer County on Monday, June 16th. SummerBoost is for our K-5th grade students at GCES, while credit recovery will be offered at GCHS. Please note the Summer Bus Schedule and Menu are attached. If you have any questions, please call the schools on Monday, June 16th between 8am and 2pm. Thank you.

From problem solving and reasoning to looking for patterns and making sense of numbers, students saw firsthand how math thinking goes far beyond the classroom. A HUGE thank you to our guests, Pharmacist and business owner Doug Moss, FCI Gilmer David Russell and Scott Heath, Foodland Manager Latasha White, County Commissioner and General Manager of the Sue Morris Sports Complex Lance Woodford, and County Assessor Melissa Jedamski for inspiring our young mathematicians and showing them how math matters in the real world! #GoGilmer

GSU Middle/High School Honor Band Clinic 2025 Congratulations to GCES 5th grade students Phoebe Bailey, Lindsey Kinder, and Ariel Sponaugle who participated in the Glenville State University Middle School/High School Honor Band Clinic on May 2nd & 3rd. This event is held annually and has participation from middle school and high school students from around the state. This year’s clinic involved 163 students divided into two separate bands. The girls had to audition on Friday morning for their chair (position within their instrument section) and all did very well even though they were the youngest musicians there. They rehearsed with their band on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, then presented a wonderful concert on Saturday afternoon. These girls worked extremely hard to be able to participate in this event and we are very proud of them. #GoGilmer
