We are excited about this year's GSES Student Technology Competition for 3rd-5th grade students. If your child is planning to participate, please make sure that you have completed the competition interest form by Friday, October 2nd so that we can directly communicate information to participating families. Students will present their projects and speeches at our GSES school competition on November 10th & 11th during school. Fall Break is a great time to get a jump on creating! Students have the opportunity to compete in 14 various categories by submitting an individual or partner project. The website linked below provides detailed information on each of the 14 categories with examples of some previously completed projects of state placers. The project can be something your child starts fresh this year or improves on from a previous year. We will even be working on some projects in our classes at school. Please contact Mrs. Gassman (monica.gassman@jcss.us) if you have any questions.

At GSES, we believe every staff member has the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy in the lives of our students and families. 💙

Has a teacher, staff member, or school employee gone above and beyond? Has someone made your child feel seen, supported, or special? Maybe a simple act of kindness or encouragement made a big difference for your family.

Use the Staff Shout Out Form linked below to share a special message of appreciation. Families can also upload a photo to go along with their shout out, if they have one to share.

Staff Shout Outs will be shared directly with the staff member and spotlighted on our GSES social media throughout the year.

Let's take a moment to recognize the people who make a difference every day and celebrate the incredible legacy they are creating at Gum Springs! 🐾❤️

Gum Springs Elementary is looking to partner with businesses to build our Partners in Education program. One way we offer this is through our GSES LED Sign Sponsorship. Attached is the form to complete. If you have any questions, please reach out to Hannah Freyre at Hannah.freyre@jcss.us
