Christmas Wrap-Up

The GSS community celebrated Christmas in many different ways this season.  Pictured here is the celebration of our security guards who assist with carpool each morning and each afternoon.  Also in the gallery is the Christmas door and bulletin boards decorating up and down the hallways.  And finally, the GSS social services office collected food and donations to assist families in need this Christmas season.  Among the donors were the Brother Martin High School community and many GSS Room Mothers.  All in all, the GSS community spent the last 2 weeks of December celebrating, praying, and thanking those who made GSS an even better place in 2019.

In celebration of Jesus' birth, the GSS middle school students performed the manger scene and play for the PK4 - 2nd graders.  Organized by faculty member Mr. John Collins and performed by students, the younger GSS students loved the performance and participated by singing Christmas songs throughout the performance.  The performance was a perfect celebration of the Christmas season.

Christmas continued on Agriculture Street as the GSS Room Mothers prepared activities and treats for each class.  Some students decorated cupcakes, others built gingerbread houses, and others colored Christmas pages and made stained glass.  At the end of the day, students were given Christmas backpacks organized by Ms. Laurie Pierce Martin and family, and generously donated by the Martin family, Retif Oil & Fuep, St. George Episcopal School, and many members of the community.  Thank you to the many donors who generously shopped for the GSS students this Christmas Season and thank you to our Room Moms who again brought the Christmas season to life!
