We would like to thank everyone that participated in the PTO's Giving Market fundraiser. Our PTO will receive a little over $2,000 from this. We had several students participate by registering and many of them sold items. Students that brought a golden ticket for registering and providing at least 7 email addresses, have already received a slap bracelet. Kirkley Gray sold the most items and earned some prizes for a room makeover!
Some additional information for the parents/guardians of students that sold items:
- Students that brought tickets for selling items, received their collectible duck(s).
- If the buyer of an item wanted it shipped to school, these items are being shipped next week. STAY TUNED for the pickup information.
- Students that sold at least 5 items, will receive their other prize(s) when "ship to school "items are delivered to our school. (A picture of these extra prizes is attached.)

Due to an issue in the Carriage Hills area, buses 30, 37, and 38 will not be running their normal routes today in the Carriage Hills area. All students who ride these buses who live in the Carriage Hills area will need to be picked up at Greene County Tech High School. A parent must be present to sign your student out with identification. Please park in the big parking lot in the back of the High School and enter through the student entrance in the back. There is no threat of harm to our schools or students, but we will not be able to complete those bus routes as normal.
We are gearing up for the Battle of the Bell game coming up Friday night against Paragould at Eagle Stadium! The Elementary will be selling spirit tattoos Wednesday-Friday for $1.
These are perfect for Full Flight Fridays.

We ended our week celebrating being drug free with a parade! Thank you to the Jr. High Dance team for helping us celebrate. The winners of the banner contest are:
3rd place: Mrs. Brown/Faulkner/Hatley
2nd place: Mrs. Hedge
1st place: Mrs. Bass










Happy Halloween

🌟 Shout-Out to Our 2nd Grade Team! 🌟
Congratulations to our outstanding 2nd Grade team for their exceptional performance on the recently released ATLAS Summative ELA assessments!
GCT 2nd graders achieved an impressive 60% proficiency in ELA—21 percentage points higher than the statewide average of 39%.
Your hard work, dedication, and commitment to student success truly shine through these results. Way to go, 2nd Grade! We’re proud of you!

⏰ FUNDRAISER ENDS SOON!
We have extended the deadline on our Giving Market cookie dough and gift fundraiser. It now ends Sunday, November 2 at midnight! Help us reach our goal! (We are at about 30% of our goal)
🛒 Shop fun items and sell to family and friends at https://www.givingmarket.shop/136786
After going to the link, be sure to set up your student's account and provide at least 7 email addresses in order for your student to receive a free slap bracelet.
If you have already registered, you can use the fun share functions on your student's dashboard and remind family and friends to purchase an item or 2! You can also add more email addresses.
There are over 200 items starting at only $8.00! Product examples: cookie dough, popcorn, snacks, home goods, wrapping paper, kitchen/home essentials, candles, and holiday items!
Most of these items would be great gifts for the holiday season.
You get free shipping to your home if you spend $99 or more. You may also ship for free to the school if you live close enough for the student to get items to you. Of course, if you order less than $99, you can still have items shipped to your home for an extra fee.
🎁 Earn fun VIP Ducks and rewards for your student!
🏫 Support our school - thank you for helping support our students!
In addition to the already stated incentives, students that sell 10 items or more, get to participate in a pizza party!
