🐾🖤💛 FIRST PANTHER HANGOUT OF THE YEAR! 💛🖤🐾

Our GCMS Panthers wrapped up their second week of school with our first Panther Hangout of the year, our Back-to-School Panther Hangout! 🎉

Students enjoyed sweet treats 🍭, fun games 🎲, music 🎶, and most importantly, time to relax, laugh, and hang out with their friends!

What a great way to celebrate TWO weeks down and kick off a year full of Panther pride! 🐾

We loved seeing our Panthers having fun and making memories together. Here’s to more Panther Hangouts this year!

🖤💛 PROWL with Purpose. LEAD with Pride. 💛🖤

🐾🖤💛 **FIRST WEEK DOWN, PANTHERS!** 💛🖤🐾

And just like that… **Week 1 is officially in the books!** 🎉

Our Panthers spent the week learning new routines, meeting new teachers and classmates, finding their way around campus, and getting back into the rhythm of school. We are so proud of the energy our students and staff brought to our first week together!

There may have been a few sleepy faces by Friday 😴😂, but we made it!

🎮 **One week down. A whole year of possibilities ahead.**

Panthers, keep showing up, working hard, making good choices, and remembering:

🐾 **PROWL with Purpose. LEAD with Pride.**
🎮 **OWN THE GAME!**

Here’s to a great year at **Granville Central Middle School!** 🖤💛🐾
