Curriculum Upgrades!
Sandra Roberson, Robin Parker, Justin Stephens, and Linda Rapp just returned from a two-day conference in Greenville, South Carolina, where they evaluated curriculum being considered to enhance Gateway Christian School.  It was an excellent conference, and has given the team good measures to upgrade the current curriculum to make GCS even stronger in the future.  We are exploring the possibility of utilizing the Bob Jones curriculum in some subject areas for the upper elementary and JH/HS.

Teachers of Character

GCS Teachers Ladonna Arnold, Jonathan Bush, and Shala Bush received the Teachers of Character award, and were honored at the 2015 Character Counts banquet in March.  The award honors teachers who exemplify the six pillars of character for Character Counts:  trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship.
GCS Work-a-thon
The annual GCS Work-a-thon will take place Thursday, April 23, 2015!  This is an opportunity for our students to work in the community, and raise funds for the school.  Previously, funds have been used to help construct the Science Lab, purchase numerous Smart Boards for classrooms, and many more projects.

After working in the community, students will return to the school for a hamburger lunch.  Please feel free to come and join your child!  School will be dismissed at 1 p.m.
