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!

Help readers gather new leads with book fair gift cards! Make in-person checkout easier for your student, or send them as teacher gifts. Buy digital gift cards at efairs.literati.com These can be purchased from now until the last day of the book fair.
Families have loved these as they don't worry about money being lost on the way to the book fair. Please dojo your child's teacher and let them know a gift card has been purchased for your student and we can pull it up.

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
