We have had significant change in the weather recently—actually feeling like fall! Please don't forget to send in winter coats, hats, and gloves so that your students are prepared for outdoor recess.

High School News
Attendance
We are so appreciative of parents calling us before 7:30 AM to inform us when their student(s) may be late to school or will be absent and then following that up with an email to provide us with the details.

As of Friday, November 19, all future emails related to attendance issues are to be sent to [email protected]. Not only does this make it easier for our parents to remember when needed, but sending all emails to one address rather than to multiple GCS employees brings additional benefits.
Dates to Remember
Nov. 25-29 - Thanksgiving Break
Dec. 14-16 - Semester I Exams (Early dismissal days)
Dec. 17-Jan. 4 - Christmas Break (Teachers report on Jan. 4)
Athletics Update
GCS Basketball will host their first games next week. Please look for games to be streamed or replayed on our GCS social media sites. Unfortunately, games are limited to parents/guardians of players only. Details will be given soon to players' families concerning game attendance.
Varsity Wrestling is in full swing. Good luck, Warriors! Middle School Wrestling begins next week! Thanks to Coach Palumbo, as he continues to build a strong program.
Fine Arts Update
The middle dchool chorus has been hard at work preparing an arrangement of Katherine Davis's thanksgiving hymn
"Let All Things Now Living."
May you and your families be blessed beyond measure this Thanksgiving season as you recount the Lord's goodness to His people. Click on the video to watch!
