And speaking of amazing… wait until you see some familiar faces! This video also features our 2018–2019 5th grade class, who are now the Class of 2026 high school graduates. 🎓 Wow! It was so special to welcome them back to GC and see how much they’ve grown. Watching them walk the same grounds where their journey began is truly inspiring.

Oh... and one more thing...
🐝 Welcome to the Hive! 🐝
That’s right—our brand-new GC mascot is coming soon! We can’t wait to reveal this exciting new chapter and bring even more school spirit to our GC family. Stay tuned... the buzz is just beginning! 🔜✨

Hello GC Families!
I hope you’re all having a beautiful Memorial Day weekend and enjoying the much-needed sunshine and warmer weather!

As we take time to reflect on the meaning of this weekend and honor the families and loved ones who have served, I also wanted to share a quick look back at the amazing week we had together at GC.

Our students and staff had an absolute blast during Field Day, filled with energy, laughter, teamwork, and so many smiles! We then gathered for our annual Family BBQ — one of our favorite traditions that truly highlights the incredible sense of joy, connection, and community that makes GC so special. We wrapped up the week with a wonderful staff potluck where everyone shared favorite dishes, great conversations, and lots of appreciation for one another.

It was such a fun and meaningful week from start to finish, and we are so grateful to all of our families for being part of this amazing community.

We can’t wait to see everyone back on Tuesday as we finish the school year strong together! Enjoy the rest of your weekend! 🐬😊
