IT'S CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK!! January 28 through February 2!

​

We had an action packed day at GSA today! 
Following the Spelling Bee, we cheered on our Varsity girls vs Varsity boys in the annual basketball game held on school spirit day! Chanting, signs & smiles galore. What a great day to be a part of Guardian Nation!

Today we held the annual 8th grade egg drop for Science class. Students brought in a wide variety of vehicles made from all different types of recycled materials. Even though we had a few egg casualties, the whole drop was a success. The 8th grade learned, you can’t truly make an omelette without breaking a few eggs!   Way to go, 8th grade!

Congratulations to Sienna Curry and Grace Hamill who are this year’s co-champions of GSA’s 2024 Spelling Bee!

The competition proved to be a fierce one for all students involved as the Scripps National Spelling Bee list was exhausted, leading us to name two students to the title of champion. As GSA awaits guidance from Scripps, please stay tuned for the Regional Qualifier in which GSA will be represented.

A special thank you goes out to faculty and staff who helped make this event possible, as well as judges who volunteered their time and Mrs. Hampton, spelling bee coordinator at GSA.

In honor of the start of a new year, Miss Karcutskie’s history classes have been working on a “year in review project” during their first days back. They had to pick a year in the past - anything before 2023 - and describe one historical event per month of that year. Can you guess the year these groups chose based on their events?

Mrs. Prociak’s PreK class completed a STEM project using plastic cups, hoolahoops and packing triangles. The children began building a castle but soon transitioned into having a hot chocolate party by filling the cups with the brown packing triangles!
Using your imagination is so much fun!

Some improvements happening at GSA! 
The elevators have been given a "facelift" with new paint and decals on the door. Each door matches the subjects mostly taught on that floor! 🌟
