Red Bud Elementary 4th grade students in Mrs. Franklin’s class were strengthening their reading and writing skills by learning how to identify a story’s theme.

Students had to explain the story's lesson or message by using context clues to establish the theme. By looking closely at details in the text, students practiced thinking deeply about what they read and supporting their ideas.

Red Bud Middle School students had a fun and fast paced day in the gymnasium playing Bucket Ball.

The game was full of energy, teamwork, and plenty of excitement as students stayed active and enjoyed time with their classmates. It was hectic in the best way, with everyone moving, competing, and having a great time together!

Gordon Central High School students in Mrs. Rainwater’s journalism class are learning how to tell stories with purpose and professionalism.

Students began class with a warmup focused on creating strong titles for news stories before moving into a discussion about interviewing. They worked on drafting interview questions and learning how to properly prepare for and conduct an interview.

These skills help students think like journalists as they learn to ask thoughtful questions, listen carefully, and share meaningful stories with others.

Ashworth Middle School band students are already making music and building strong foundations for the year.

New band director Ms. Stokesbary had the Dr. Beat metronome going as students worked on whole notes in the song they were learning. From keeping steady time to learning how each note fits into the music, students are developing skills that will help them grow as musicians.

We are excited to see all that Ms. Stokesbary and the AMS band students accomplish this year!

Gordon County Schools is seeking parent/guardian input as we plan the 2027-2028 school year calendar. We invite you to review the two proposed calendar options and select the one you prefer. The primary difference between Option 1 and Option 2 is the scheduled dates for Fall Break.

Your feedback is important and will help inform the calendar planning process for the 2027-2028 school year. The survey also includes an optional section about school and district communications. This portion is designed to help us better understand how families currently receive information, which communication methods and platforms they prefer, how many different applications they use for school-related communication, and whether families would support the district exploring a more centralized communication option.

Please note that the communications survey is completely optional. You do not have to complete the communications questions in order to submit your calendar selection.

Thank you for taking a few moments to share your feedback and help us plan for the 2027-2028 school year!

Fairmount Elementary was honored to celebrate Judith Cunningham as she became the first recipient of the Hands in Action All-Star Award from Helping Hands Ending Hunger.

Helping Hands Ending Hunger Founder Carla Harward and Community Impact Manager Faith Cole visited FES to present this special recognition in front of Fairmount Elementary faculty and staff who help support the HHEH initiative. Superintendent Alice Mashburn and Executive Director of Finance Mendy Goble were also present to celebrate Judith’s hard work, leadership, and commitment to helping feed children in need throughout the Fairmount community.

The Hands in Action All-Star Award recognizes an exceptional school coordinator who brings this mission to life in a meaningful way. Judith’s dedication helps cultivate student leadership, spark creativity, support meaningful learning, and build a culture of kindness and service at Fairmount Elementary.

This recognition is also a celebration of the teamwork and commitment shown by the FES faculty, staff, and students who help make the program successful. We are proud of Judith and the lasting impact she is making for students, families, and the Fairmount community!

There are so many great things happening at the Gordon County College and Career Academy of Design and Advanced Manufacturing! Today, students in Mrs. Stodhill's class are using graphic design to express who they are through creativity and visual arts.

Mrs. Stodghill worked with students as they created collage projects that represented their interests and personalities. Through this project, students explored how graphic design can combine images, color, layout, and meaning to communicate a message.

Graphic design gives students the opportunity to think creatively while building skills they can use in future careers.
