Statesmen Theatre Presents "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" December 4-7
 






Tickets for "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" on sale now!!

This Tony Winning Musical follows an eclectic group of six mid-pubescent students as they vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box. With audience participation and charming songs galore!

Given the small number of seats available for this Black Box performance, attendees are encouraged to purchase tickets online  HERE in advance. If extra tickets are available they will be sold at the door. Please check online before attending to make sure seats remain. 
FCPS Celebrates Inclusion Week December 2-6
 
A thought about inclusion for the GCM community to reflect on:

" When someone is truly included, no one will question their presence, only their absence." -- Renee LaPorte

Any of our children can feel left out for any reason at any time.  Let's work to make our community a safe place where everyone can be included no matter what makes them SEEM different.  Please teach your child that they are absolutely unqiue. Just like everyone else!
