Spreading love, one act of service at a time!
Through the generosity of our GSA school community, we raised enough money in our “Jingle Jar” campaign to purchase Christmas presents for 50 angels. Gifts were purchased and wrapped by our GSA students.

Last week, our GPTO hosted their annual Brunch with Santa!
The DJ was playing Christmas music to get in the spirit while our teachers were provided with a lunch and a day off of lunch duty!
Students’ eyes lit up as they saw Santa enter the cafeteria to pass out candy canes!
Thank you to the many volunteers who made this day possible! We are heading into Christmas break with grateful hearts!

The halls are filled with joy and the Christmas spirit is alive at GSA!
During the month of December, the GPTO asked students to fill Jolly Jingle Jars in their classrooms. The funds raised were used to help spread Christmas cheer to 50 local children from the Children’s Service Center.
We are blessed with generous students who were willing to open their own piggy banks for the cause. They learned the importance of giving back to others, especially during the Christmas season.
A big thank you to the Guardians in our Service Club who helped wrap all the gifts!

These Fourth Grade Paleontologists wrapped up their unit on fossils by making their own cast fossil. They made molds, filled them in with plaster of Paris and were shocked to see their finished products once everything hardened.

Second Grade is working hard to model good behavior this holiday season. Our classroom elves have arrived and have requested a little help from the students to remind each other about hard work and good manners. Each day, 2 students are selected from each class to be the classroom elves….. Here’s our elves from last week!
