Go Gilmer!! 🐐🏆

Families are invited to join Title I and support staff in the GCES Cafeteria this evening to learn how to "play" some games with their children.

Students and staff represented GCES today in the GSU Homecoming Parade. Go Gilmer!! 🐾
Students at GCES have been working hard on completing lessons on i-Ready. Mrs. Hartshorn has given each of her math classes quite a challenge. Each time a student receives a 100%, they color in a square on the "i-Ready for Donuts" chart. When the chart is full, students will receive a donut party. Mrs. Hartshorn's homeroom was the first math class to get their reward. Mrs. Fox and Mrs. Moss's homerooms aren't far behind. Way to work hard, kiddos! 🍩 Go Gilmer
🏀 A huge SHOUT OUT goes to the Lady Pioneer Women's Basketball Team and coaches for stopping by to read to some of our PE classes. So much fun!! Go Gilmer!
⭐GCES would like to highlight Mrs. Judy Leggett. Her dedication, passion, and amount of extra hours spent with her music students does not go unnoticed. She is an inspiration to her colleagues, students, and our entire school community. ⭐
Go Gilmer !

Also, Mrs. Donna stopped by before lunch to read, "Super Pizza and Kid Kale." Each student was gifted with this story to take home. A big shoutout to everyone who goes the extra mile to make reading so much fun for our students. 📚🐾
