🎨✨ Exploring Our Creative Side! ✨🎨
Mrs. Nottingham visited Mrs. Parrish’s class on Friday, and they had so much fun exploring their creative side! 💡🎨 We love seeing our GEA students learning, creating, and letting their imaginations shine! ❤️🐘
🎤 THEY HAD ONE JOB… PICK THEIR WALK-OUT SONG. 😂
We asked some of our GEA tough guys to choose the song they wanted for their big walk-out moment…
But then we remembered… we’re in charge. 😏🎶
So, naturally, we picked their songs for them! 😂

Making school attendance a priority is one of the most impactful ways to support and enhance your child's academic success. As you plan family trips, vacations, and appointments for the upcoming school year; utilize these designated breaks to ensure no instructional time is missed.
Further plan for the upcoming year by attending our Open Houses, beginning tomorrow across the district. For Open House days and times associated with your child's school for 2026-2027, visit https://www.gcssk12.net/students-parents/open-house
