The Thankful 3rd Grade celebration was a blast! Thank you to all of our 3rd graders for their hard work towards their projects. Thank you to the families that helped their students with their projects and the set up and preparation for this special day!
4K students, families, and teachers enjoyed playing a variety of games and sharing snacks together. It was a great opportunity for the youngsters to practice cooperation skills and taking turns. It was great to see the families mingling and enjoying each others company.

The kindergarten students have been practicing their writing skills by labeling their pictures and work. To kick off their farm unit, they painted paper plates to make their own 3D pumpkin and added labels to the parts of the pumpkin.
4K artists were excited to show off their Fall leaves they made in art class with Mrs. Horak.
In the 2nd quarter, 8th grade began science by working on their team-building. They went from small group to whole class teams by trying to untangle string that each scientist held. This was super successful as they had to use strong communication, listening, and collaboration problem-solving. Not to mention it was loud and hilarious!
They also worked on observation skills by having a random pan of objects for 2 minutes and then having it taken away. The objective was to remember as many objects as possible.
Different strategies were used by different teams and then discussed at the end.
As they start learning about the body systems, they outlined a partner and attempted to remember as many of the 19 bones that they are required to know as possible. Core 3 was
during 4th grade recess and a couple of them joined in on the fun!
So far it has been an amazing start to the 2nd quarter!
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Our GCJ2 Families in Need program is designed to help out families in our district who are having difficulty meeting the immediate needs for their children, which include but are not limited to clothing and toiletries for the children and laundry assistance for the family.
This year, we currently have 56 children enrolled in our program for our holiday bundle boxes which supply cold weather clothing for these children. Only 25 children have been "adopted".....we are in need of your support to get the rest of the 31 taken care of. Please help us help these children with some immediate needs for this winter season. You can "adopt" these children by purchasing the items for their holiday bundle box or donate monetarily to our Families in Need Program.

Our 6th-grade students recently hosted an exciting Spanish-Speaking Country Folk Fair, where they immersed themselves and others in the cultures of various Spanish-speaking countries. Each student created a colorful and informative project board highlighting a specific country's traditions, geography, and cultural significance. To bring the experience to life, they prepared authentic dishes representing their chosen countries, giving the visiting 5th graders a delicious taste of diverse flavors. This interactive event allowed students to connect with and celebrate Hispanic cultures while sharing their learning with younger peers in a fun and engaging way. It was a fantastic opportunity for all involved to broaden their perspectives and appreciate the richness of these cultures!
Games & Goodies for 4K students and family members. Come and enjoy an afternoon filled with games and snacks with your family's favorite game and snack to share with the group.

Our next sharer of greatness is Hailey from our middle school. Hailey recently won 1st place at a Equestrian competition!! Ever since she was a little kid she has always had a secret passion for working with horses and was given the nickname of “horse whisperer” by her grandmother. Her mother had found a stable called Pistakee Bay Stable where Hailey was able to train with a beautiful but sassy horse named Ikra. She is thankful for her instructor Peter who continued to work with her and Ikra to compete in their first competition on October 20th where they won a first place ribbon.
Congrats, Hailey — way to make us #MustangProud!!!
