BOOK FAIR

The GCDS Book Fair, a much-loved tradition organized by the Parent’s Association, returned this fall. The four-day celebration of literacy kicked off with the Family Opening Party on Sunday, Nov. 6, in the South Gym and featured visiting authors— Randall de Sève, Josh Funk, and Steven Simmons— and of course, a fantastic book selection. It was wonderful to see students and families connect over a shared love of books. Faculty members are incredibly grateful for the generous donations of books purchased for their classes.

Creating a Veterans Wall

In the Upper Elementary School

Upper Elementary School students proudly added photos and descriptions of members of their family that have served in the military to the UES Veterans Day Mural. Students also recorded interviews with members of their family that have served in the military, sharing where they served and which branch of the military they served in, and why Veterans Day is important to them. Students across the school participated in assemblies, learning about the significance of the day from veterans in the GCDS community.
