Nothing says summer is almost here like great food and even better company! ☀️

After the buses rolled out on Friday afternoon, teachers from both the elementary and middle school gathered to enjoy some food, fellowship, and time together as we wrapped up another amazing school year.

A huge thank you to Midwest Prime Steak & Seafood and Matt Salter for providing the meat, and to Doug Brown for firing up the grill and cooking for our staff. We appreciate your generosity and support of our schools!

It was a great way to celebrate the teamwork, dedication, and relationships that make our school community so special. ❤️🖤

After a fantastic run, it's time for the final episode of The Cave.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who listened, shared, and supported the podcast throughout its journey. Your encouragement and enthusiasm helped make this project a success and gave our students a platform to share their voices with the community.

A special thank you goes to the girls who dedicated their time, energy, creativity, and personalities to creating such a fun and engaging podcast. Their willingness to step behind the microphone, tell stories, ask questions, and keep the conversations going is what made The Cave such an enjoyable experience week after week.

We are incredibly proud of everything they accomplished and grateful for the memories created along the way.

Thank you for joining us on this journey. We hope you've enjoyed listening as much as we've enjoyed making it.

One last time - welcome back to The Cave!

🚨 LOST & FOUND MOUNTAIN ALERT 🚨

Our GCMS Lost & Found is officially OVERFLOWING! 😳 We have a little bit of everything — hoodies, coats, pants, water bottles, lunch boxes, and probably enough sweatshirts to outfit an entire class. 😅

Students have been reminded to check the Lost & Found often, but we need your help too! Please remind your student to stop by and claim any missing items before the end of the day TOMORROW, May 29th.

Any unclaimed items will be donated at the end of the day tomorrow.

Come rescue those missing belongings before they become someone else’s new favorite hoodie! 👕

It's been a great school year of reading, but why stop there? Sign up for a summer of reading fun at the Jefferson Public Library!

Embark on a journey to the past of Jurassic proportions with "Unearth a Story", the Jefferson Public Library 2026 Youth Summer Reading Shin-Dig!
"Shin-dig"? Yes, you read that right. They're changing things up this year. Kids and teens who sign up receive a "field journal" and a sticker...then continue to receive small prizes throughout the summer for every 140 minutes that they log! The more you read, the closer you get to their grand prize drawings.
Even better, summer programs are now open to the public! Enjoy "excavation digs", visits from Blank Park Zoo and the Science Center of Iowa, after-hours movie nights, and more planned this summer.
