If you didn't see or HEAR this crew this morning, they popped outside for Turn-it-up Tuesday and serenaded our car riders! Such a fun way to brighten up a gloomy, rainy day!


We had such a fun morning at CCCHS! Students who met their monthly reading goal were entered into a chance-to-win drawing to play the Basketball seniors. We played 4 quarters of basketball. Quarter 1 and 2 were played by 10 4th graders, and Quarter 3 and 4 were played by 10 5th graders. We had a halftime dance party as a school. Thank you to Mrs. Carlson, CCCHS STUCO and the basketball team for hosting such a fun event to motivate and reward our readers! #usd379


Thank you is never enough for our amazing community who continue to show up and support our GES students! Thank you to all who came to the scramble, donated their time or goods to the scramble, or supported us in anyway! Thank you to our GES PEP and staff for putting on a fun event! Our young entrepreneurs had an amazing night, and we are so proud of them! 🐅
