We had an awesome first full week of school! 🎉

Mrs. Sponaugle and Mrs. Workman surprised our middle school students with popcorn to celebrate the week. Thank you to Marelly Medrano for adding fun and encouraging words on each bag. 🍿

Student Council also stepped in to support our teachers by providing lemonade, bottled water, and drink packets. 🍋 🥤

What a great way to kick off the year!

IMMUNIZATION UPDATE: Many in the community have questions about the preliminary injunction recently issued against Gilmer County Schools. The preliminary injunction permits two students who are not compliant with the immunization law to attend public schools in Gilmer County and prevents Gilmer County Schools from enforcing West Virginia’s compulsory immunization law with respect to those two students. The preliminary injunction relates only to the two students named in the petition and remains in effect while the matter proceeds through the court system. Therefore, Gilmer County Schools will continue to implement the immunization law for all other students and as directed by the State Board of Education and the State Superintendent of Schools, unless the immunization law is amended by the Legislature or if otherwise directed by the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia, the State Superintendent of Schools, or the State Board of Education.

🎨🖍✏️ Our rising kindergarteners are getting a boost this summer through Save the Children’s KinderBoost program at GCES!

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

Today, our 5th graders had a special treat! Community members from a variety of professions within our community visited our math classroom to share how they use yhe Mathematical Habits of Mind in their everyday work. 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
