STEM Club Visit to Science City Part 2

STEM Club students had an incredible experience at Science City, where science truly came to life!

Located inside Union Station, Science City offers hands-on exhibits that allow students to explore real-world applications of physics, engineering, biology, space science, and technology. Through interactive experiments and design challenges, students saw how classroom learning connects to future careers and innovations.

GCMS students were fully engaged, had a fantastic time, and created lasting memories as they explored and discovered together.

We recently celebrated our talented student writers with a Writers Celebration Breakfast, honoring finalists from the Letters of Love and Letting Go Writing Competition. Chosen by their ELA, ELD, and SPED teachers and teams, these students were recognized for their creativity, vulnerability, humor, organization, and powerful written voices. Congratulations to our outstanding winners—Majorie, Jose, Genesis, Damian, Christian, and Alex—for sharing meaningful stories and reminding us of the impact words can have.
