We wanted to provide an update regarding Daddy Daughter Dance. We want this event to be special every year that we host it. Given the circumstances, it does not feel responsible for us to try and get all of the registrations, preparations, and decorations done by this Friday and Saturday. We are rescheduling the event to Friday, February 20th for middle school and Saturday, February 21st for elementary school. Time slot for each group will stay the same.

With this, we are also extending the registration deadline to Wednesday, February 18th. This is such an important event for our community, and we are trying our best to make sure it is special for our students and their loved ones - we appreciate your understanding! If you have any questions, please email rbateman@gcssd.org.

Parents, we will be out of school again tomorrow, Wednesday, February 3rd. This will be a virtual learning day for all students. If possible, we are asking all middle school students to log into their iReady account through classlink, which can be located on the school website. From here, they will complete one iReady lesson via their “My Path.” We are also asking students to read a one-page article they can pull from a magazine or online and write a five-sentence summary.

This week's #GibsonCountyKind message inspires us to spread kindness through patience. "Be patient when you have to wait." If you want to see more kindness in the world, take the initiative to create it. By being patient with others, we foster deeper connections and compassion, reminding us to show kindness through our actions, not just our words.

Students in Mrs. Byrd's class are learning about Natural Selection. The focus for the lesson was, "How do natural selection and inherited variations influence a population?" Students learned about genetic drift and how it is a mechanism of evolution that changes traits because of chance. Students then worked with a partner and rolled die to model the process of genetic drift.
