CMS Groovy Groups competed in the Christmas Brain Games today. The 6 teams competed to solve 6 different puzzles including vocabulary, math and STEAM, all with a Christmas theme. Students divided up the activities according to their strengths and had only 20 minutes to finish! Team points are added based on competition scores, behavior, participation, and effort.
Cheer for the Go-Devils! Senior High cheer will be competing tomorrow at LHHS! Tickets may be purchased at https://southernspirit.ticketleap.com/
Mrs. Ledbetter along with a financial aid analyst from UAHT will host a FAFSA workshop on Tuesday December the 6th at 5:30. The workshop will provide students and parents with hands-on assistance filing their FAFSA. You can RSVP to this event by emailing ledbetterar@go-devils.net or calling the GHS office.
Nicole McGough with Patterson Federal Credit Union partnered with Amy Ledbetter, counselor at GHS, to provide a reality fair to upperclassmen. The fair provided a unique opportunity for students to explore the financial challenges they will face in adulthood. The students identified a career choice and were given starting salaries. They then completed a budget sheet requiring them to live within their monthly salary while paying for basics such as housing, utilities, transportation, clothing, and groceries. Along the way, needs versus wants were tested as community volunteers sold vacations, puppies, concert tickets and other impulse spending items.
Gurdon Public Schools Wellness Center has been awarded a 2023 Delta Dental Community Grant grant in the amount of $11,315.50 to purchase a portable nitrous oxide cart and other dental supplies for our dentist office. The option to have nitrous oxide is a game changer for our students to assist in reduction of pain and to lessen anxiety for those who are nervous about their dental visit!
We are excited to continue our partnership with Dr. Scott Byrd and to continue providing excellent oral health care to our students in our state-of-the-art school dental office.
If you are interested in signing your student up for school dental services, contact the Wellness Center at 353-5123 Ext. 122 or email schaefferw@go-devils.net to get enrollment paperwork sent home with your student.
