What do the custodians do during NTI? At GCMS, they keep everything sanitized, and also complete some fabulous painting and updates to our facility! Thanks for making our building a great place to learn! #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
The “impulse control” part of your teen’s brain is still developing. Before they make an impulsive decision, ask what they would think if a book or movie character did the same thing. Looking at it from an outside perspective may make them think twice.

Social media quizzes are fun, but remind your teen to think and use caution before posting. A quiz that asks for information people commonly include in passwords (pet’s name, favorite food, birth year) may be designed to hack into accounts.

While vaping among teens declined in 2020, it’s still critical to talk to your child about e-cigarettes. Explain that nicotine is addictive, plus there’s no good data on the long-term effects of vaping. Let them know what the consequences are from vaping.
These videos from GCMS Band and Orchestra were recently shared with our local nursing homes. Proud of these students and directors for not letting Covid interrupt sharing their talents! Orchestra: http://bit.ly/3mDKkkp Band: http://bit.ly/2LXhQp7 #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
GCMS wasn't able to hold our normal student Food Drive for the GC Alliance, so what does the staff do? Brings in over 1,100 pounds themselves! What a great example for our students! Thanks for providing for those less fortunate in our community! #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
GCS will return from Christmas Break with NTI from Jan. 4 – 8 to allow more time between the holiday season and provide a safer return to the buildings for all. The A/B hybrid schedule will resume Jan. 11. See full message from Supt. Robinson: http://bit.ly/GCSUpdate121820
Evaluating products helps your teen think critically. Ask them to research a household purchase, such as a new fridge. They can learn how much different models cost and compare the features. Then, let them recommend what to buy based on their findings. #GCMSOpportunity
Hands-on, engaging lessons during NTI? Certainly happening in Zayne's Priddy's room! This brother-sister tandem shining in terrarium design! #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe #GCMSRockinNTI
Not being in school has not kept our GCMS artists from creating some nice holiday projects! Check out some of the many great designs! All being led by long-time GC educator Sheila Meredith! #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
Creating study guides to prepare for tests will help your teen twice. First, they’ll analyze the information as they choose the most important facts to include in their guide. And when they're finished, they’ll have a packet to study from. #GCMSOpportunity
Check out who made a virtual visit to GCMS! Elvie Shane, one of Pandora's 2021 Artists to Watch, spoke to Mrs. LeaAnn Frank about how his journey intersects with our core values. We appreciated the opportunity! Check it out here: https://youtu.be/vopjGH-R3oc #GCMSOpportunity

Reading memoirs will help your teen see the world from different points of view. Suggest that they browse the library’s e-book collection for ones by people they admire or have studied in school. They may even be inspired to write their own memoir. #GCMSOpportunity
Invite your teen to work with you to help others. You might pick up groceries for a sick friend, or cook a casserole to take to a relative with a new baby, for example. It’ll give you an excuse to hang out and reconnect while doing something kind for someone else.
Two meal options are now available! Meals on the Bus will continue to operate on its current schedule through this week (Dec. 18). Or, you can order a five-day meal kit instead, available for pickup. Just email Kristy Hodges to place your order.
What a treat! Kari and Bethany Ray visited GCMS, bringing cupcakes for the staff. Also, Bethany shared a beautiful rendition of "O, Holy Night" for our front office staff! Congrats to Bethany for making All-State Symphonic Orchestra! #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
