Dear students and families,
At GFSS, we’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to truly care for one another. A positive school culture grows in the small, everyday ways we listen, include, and show up for each other. With that comes a challenge and a responsibility: to notice when others are struggling and to lend a hand when we can. Whether it’s a kind word, a simple gesture, or stepping up to help in a time of need, these acts of care define who we are as a school.
Next week’s student-led assembly will celebrate that spirit. It is a reminder that our community is strongest when we support each other.
