Dear Bearkat Community,

As we continue into the second six weeks of our school year, I just wanted to take a moment to say a big THANK YOU for all your support during the first six weeks! Your involvement has truly made our classrooms a special place for the kids.


It’s been such a joy getting to know your children and watching them grow and shine. I can’t wait to see what this next phase holds for us, and I’m excited to continue this journey together!


We look forward to Achieving Excellence Together!

Where Are You Going Wednesday

Mrs. Fryar held the first "Where Are You Going Wednesday" on Wednesday, Sept 11th for Secondary (and on Thursday for the elementary due to picture day). A recruiter from Howard College came out and shared with GC juniors and seniors about the benefits of community colleges and the opportunity for the seniors to use the HC Jump Start Program, the summer following graduation. (This program allows those graduates to take summer classes at HC at the dual credit price.) There were 3 drawings for students who participated by wearing a shirt or cap representing a favorite school/university/trade/branch of the military. The 3 lucky winners were Andrea Maldonado for elementary, Cohen Batla for JH, and Sadie Fuchs for HS. Each winner received a bag of college goodies.

Accelerated Reader (Grades 1st-5th)

Accelerated Reader by Renaissance is a fantastic tool that truly sparks a love for reading in kids! It creates an engaging and personalized experience, allowing students to explore a diverse range of books that capture their interests and imagination. With its user-friendly interface, kids can choose what they want to read and do so at their own pace, making the process feel more like an adventure than a chore.


One of the best features of Accelerated Reader is how it motivates students to set and achieve their own reading goals. This not only helps build their confidence but also encourages a sense of ownership over their learning. Plus, the program offers quizzes and feedback that help students reflect on what they’ve read, reinforcing their comprehension skills in a fun way.


For educators and parents, Accelerated Reader provides valuable insights into each child's progress. This information enables adults to offer just the right support and guidance, making it easier to nurture a child’s reading journey. The program also recommends books tailored to individual interests and reading levels, ensuring that every student finds something they love.


Overall, Accelerated Reader is more than just a reading program; it’s a wonderful way to make reading an enjoyable adventure for everyone involved. With its focus on fostering a lifelong love of reading, it’s a great resource for helping kids thrive academically and personally!


Don't have anything to talk about at the dinner table tonight, ask about AR.
