Attention Parents/Guardians: Our school is working toward a $10,000 fundraising goal to support student incentives, engaging activities like parent nights and end-of-year celebrations, and valuable educational resources. Sign-ups will start next Friday, April 17, 2026.

Today, the GCT Elementary Safety Team had a special visit from the Paragould Fire Department! Students learned important fire safety tips and got hands-on instruction on how to use a fire extinguisher 🧯. Thank you to our local firefighters for helping keep our school safe!

Congratulations to our athletes that participated in the Special Olympics track and field events. We are so proud of you!
