As the 2023-2024 school year approaches, we'd like to introduce the Faces of GCES!
Allow us to introduce our new Secretary, Mrs. Oliney!!!
Today the GCES Instructional Leadership Team met for a planning session. The team defined the purpose of the team, the role of all team members, reviewed current school data, identified priority areas for the 2023-2024 school, and drafted a new Mission Statement, Vision Statement, and Core Values. We can't wait to share this work with the rest of the GCES Community. Special Thanks to the Team!!!

Hey, Facebook friends, Happy Juneteenth! Today marks the day when slavery was finally abolished in the United States. It's a day of celebration, reflection and remembrance. It's important to teach our young children the importance of diversity, inclusivity and the significance of this day in our history. Let's celebrate together by spreading love, kindness and acceptance for all. Enjoy the day, everyone! #Juneteenth #DiversityandInclusion #UnityLoveKindness
Happy Father's Day to all of the Fathers of the GCES community! We hope today brings you all the joy and love you deserve.
