Buildings and Grounds Update:

The 2025-2026 school year was a great success for Buildings and Grounds efforts, thanks to the hard work and dedication of our community. A big thank you to all the parents who volunteered their time as part of the Fall Fix Up, Spring Spruce Up, and the greenhouse crew! With your help and muscle we were able to tackle a laundry list of items that ultimately saves money for the school and helps keep the playground and outside spaces fun and engaging. We can’t thank you enough!

We take great pride in making sure the playground is fun and safe. If you are interested in pitching in or have new ideas for projects, please reach out to buildingandgrounds@grotoncommunityschool.org. We would love to hear from you!

Parent Representative Update:

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the 2025-2026 Room Parents and the many volunteers who helped make our GCS community shine.
From coordinating thoughtful Teacher Appreciation celebrations, stocking the staff room with treats and essentials, and lending a hand whenever needed, your generosity and dedication have made a lasting impact. These acts of kindness help create a supportive environment where our teachers, staff, students, and families all feel valued.

Thank you to everyone who gave their time, energy, and talents throughout the year. Your commitment is a big part of what makes GCS such a special community. We are truly grateful for all you do!

Fundraising Update – Every Bit Counts!

A sincere thank you to all GCS families for your eagerness to volunteer your time and participate in our fundraisers. They not only help balance our budget and keep our tuition rates affordable, but they also provide meaningful opportunities to participate in your child’s educational experience. We had a very successful year in large part to our online Auction held last November. The final tally for all fundraisers came to $23,913! We couldn’t have done it without your continued support and generosity.
