Bus Driver Appreciation! 🚌
We celebrate the incredible individuals who safely transport our students each and every day. Rain or shine, early mornings and long afternoons, our bus drivers show up with patience, care, and dedication—often greeting students with a smile and sending them off with encouragement.
Thank you for being the first friendly face in the morning and the last goodbye in the afternoon. You play such an important role in our students’ lives, and we are so grateful for all that you do!
Be sure to thank a bus driver today!

Families, we need your help!
Please help your 3rd and 5th grade students be ready for Milestones testing tomorrow!
Make sure they:
*Get to bed on time for a good night’s sleep
*Wake up with a positive attitude
*Arrive at school on time (in the building by 7:45 AM!)
*Enjoy a good breakfast to fuel their brains
Most importantly, remind them:
They have been working hard and preparing for this ALL year! Send them off with encouragement, confidence, and a big smile—we know they are ready to shine!

We’re celebrating two of the very best—Mrs. Tasha and Mrs. Christy—for Administrative Assistant’s Day! If you have called our school or come in the front office, you have talked to at least one of these ladies.
From the front office to behind the scenes, these ladies keep our school running smoothly every single day. They go above and beyond to support our students, families, and staff (and often long after the final bell rings!).
We loved treating them to a delicious Milltown Gourmet lunch and beautiful flowers from our admin team and Carver Road Baptist as a small thank-you for all they do.
We are so grateful for you both—our school is better because of you! #WalkTheWalk

It's Afterschool Professionals Appreciation Week! Let’s take time to recognize the incredible people who make our GSCS Elementary After-School Program meaningful for hundreds of students. Thanks to these professionals who help with homework, lead fun projects/activities & more!
Today we’re celebrating our incredible School Librarian/Media Specialist, Mrs. Baker!
She does so much more than keep our library running—she supports progress monitoring, serves on the testing team, leads extended learning, organizes Literacy Days, coaches our Reading Bowl team, runs the Spelling Bee, troubleshoots endless technology and Chromebook issues, and somehow still manages to check in and out a million books a day AND reshelve them all!
She’s also the creative force behind most of our social media posts (but not this one).
We are so grateful for the heart, dedication, and energy she pours into our school every single day. Today, we were proud to celebrate her with lunch, gifts, and sweet cards from our students.
Thank you, Mrs. Baker, for everything you do to support our students and staff—you truly make a difference!
