October is National Farm to School Month, and we invite you to join us in celebrating!
‎This year's theme, "Rooted in Community: Growing Stronger, Together," emphasizes that farm-to-school is built for and by communities, uniting people from all walks of life who all share a common vision of an abundant, nourishing, and equitable food system. GCS proudly partners with local farmers to feature locally grown food in our cafeterias throughout the school year. #farmtoschool

Please help keep our kids safe! In WV, it is illegal to pass a school bus while the school bus stop-arm is extended and the red lights are flashing. Motorists should come to a complete stop in front of and behind a school bus when the red lights are flashing, and the stop-arm is extended. Motorists may begin moving only when the red flashing lights are turned off, the stop-arm is withdrawn, and the bus starts to move. When yellow flashing lights are active, the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. Motorists should slow down and prepare to stop. Although the school bus is one of the safest modes of transportation, illegal school bus passing is a deadly risk to bus riders and their caretakers.
PRE-K - 3 BUS REMINDER: A parent or their designee must be at the bus stop for both pickup and delivery of all kindergarten through third-grade students. If the parent elects to designate another adult or sibling (grades 6 –12), a written request to the transportation department listing all approved names is required.
Woo-hoo! It's the first day of school for grades 1 - 12, and we're SO excited! We're sure you are, too! Here's to a fabulous first day and an amazing school year ahead for our students, staff, and families!
All students transported on a school bus must complete an enrollment card during the first week of school, providing a contact number, physical address, and parent/guardian signature. If you need assistance obtaining your physical address, please call 304-647-6461.

Students at Lewisburg Elementary enjoyed their RACK (Random Acts of Kindness) celebration. An inflatable dual water slide, obstacle course, dunking booth, and being sprayed by the Lewisburg Fire Department were all part of this end of the year celebration. All the student had a blast!
Thank you to the students, staff, and Lewisburg Fire Department for helping to create an unforgettable memory. We also appreciate the last visit from Patrolman and Dare Officer Deeds as the 5th grade enjoyed their water time. We wish everyone a safe and fun summer break.
