In order to support the Gilmer County Lady Titans on their journey to the State Tournament, the Gilmer County Board of Education voted to change the school calendar. Gilmer County Schools will be closed tomorrow, March 6, 2024. To accommodate this calendar change, the original OS day on May 13, 2024 will now be a day in session. Again, all Gilmer County Schools will be closed on Wednesday, March 6, 2024. Support your Lady Titans by attending the State Tournament. Go Titans!
🐐GOAT ALERT! 🌟
Mr. Wolfe's class was recognized with the superintendent's GOAT award for their innovative approach to peer conflict resolution! The Middle School team identified a need for students to navigate interpersonal challenges effectively. Wolfe's health classes — which have learning standards related to conflict resolution — tackled the problem head-on with a set of lessons that were laser-focused on effectively resolving disputes.
During the lessons, students engaged in a dynamic learning process. Starting with a staff-wide call for common conflict scenarios, Mr. Wolfe's classes collected 15 diverse situations. Afterwards, students rotated through different scenarios that were facilitated by guest mediators (Dr. Minney, Mrs. DeWall, Mrs. Barker, Mrs. Miller, Mr. Payne, and Mr. Haynes) in order to hone their problem-solving skills.
Through guided discussions and interactive exercises, students explored strategies for handling conflicts with empathy and maturity. At the conclusion of each session, the guest mediators provided feedback and led robust discussions about possible outcomes.

🌟CONGRATULATIONS🌟 to Mrs. Frashure's 5th Grade Math Class for receiving the Superintendent's GOAT Award. Mrs. Frashure has been implementing the teaching method, "Building a Thinking Classroom." This model creates a thinking-centered math classroom that involves encouraging exploration, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Students are constantly engaging in group discussions and incorporating open-ended questions to solve problems and deepen their mathematical skills.
Recently, these students have applied their knowledge of multiplying and dividing decimals to solve a real-world task about finding the cheapest way to buy pizza for a large group. They continue to work hard everyday to build a thinking classroom. #GoGilmer
