The new MS/HS Library Makerspace is in full swing! Last week, the FFA used the Cricut to make t-shirt decals. And this week we are testing printing/cutting some student-designed stickers for an upcoming Studio Art project.
The GCSD Board of Education has begun a search for the new Superintendent of Schools. They invite parents, guardians, students, employees, and the community to complete the survey below. Your input will assist the Board in developing a profile of desirable qualities of this individual. The survey questions ask you to rate how important various attributes or characteristics of the next Superintendent are to you. Once the survey period closes on October 22nd, a summary of all responses will be completed and the Board will use it to help evaluate the various individuals that have applied. This survey is anonymous and your input is greatly appreciated!
