The book fair will close tomorrow promptly at 12 noon. If you are sending money with your student, try to let the teacher know through Dojo so they can be sure to send them. If you want to come shop, please be here prior to 12 noon. There are still plenty of great books available for purchase, including many in the $2-$5 range! The value tables are shown in the pics. #ColtsCan

This week is Georgia Pre-K Week! Now in its 13th year, this weeklong annual event celebrates Georgia’s Pre-K Program, which has educated more than 2 million youth since it began over 30 years ago!
GSCS has 22 pre-k classes totaling 456 pre-k students. Throughout the week, GSCS Central Office Administrators, Board of Education Members & Partners In Education will be reading this year's featured book, Cheer: A Book to Celebrate Community by Uncle Ian Aurora, in all of our pre-k classes.
Pre-K Week raises awareness for the importance of quality early childhood education. Georgia’s Pre-K Program launched in 1992 as a small pilot program serving 750 four-year-old children in the state. Now, 31 years later, the lottery-funded program has laid a solid foundation for academic excellence and future success in the lives of more than 2 million children in Georgia.

Today, October 2, is National Custodial Worker Day and we want to recognize, celebrate and thank all of the amazing individuals who keep GSCS clean, maintained and operating smoothly! Our school custodians work hard and often behind the scenes or after hours. However, the results of their efforts are among the most critically important and highly recognizable things seen in our facilities. So, on National Custodial Workers Day, be sure to show your appreciation to the custodians who keep our schools and district clean!
Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Wilkerson recently brought all of the 4th grade classes to the media center for an introductory lesson to research, how to find sources and credit them, and how to set up Google Presentations and Docs for their upcoming project. #ColtsCan

What was your favorite thing about book fairs growing up? Really - what do you remember most about them? (I remember the smell, having a $5 bill to spend, and all the cute pencils!)
Plan to visit our book fair with your child on Thursday, 9/28 from 4-6:20 pm (before and during Curriculum Night).
If you're going to the county fair, make sure you take a few minutes and look at the art exhibit. Look at all of this awesome Cowan Road Elementary artwork on display! We are proud of these kids - and our collab teacher, Mrs. Matthews. #ColtsCan
We have a book fair coming!
