The 2024 Gordon County Schools Summer Feeding Program starts June 3rd through July 18th! This program serves our community by providing no-cost, healthy meals and snacks to children ages 0-18. Food will be offered Monday through Thursday each week, and Thursdays will include Friday, Saturday, and Sunday meals. Please note that all sites will be closed July 4th and 5th.
Food pickup locations are at Tolbert Elementary and Sonoraville High School from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Gordon County Schools will also have vans and buses delivering meals to our Mobile Locations marked with yard signs that read, "This is a Gordon County Summer Feeding Site." Listen for the honking horns as notification of arrival and please be patient as times will vary by each location. After the first week, we will announce more exact times for the Mobile Locations as our feeding staff workers learn and finalize their routes.
Check out the flyer for more information! The Gordon County Schools Nutrition Department, partnered with our Transportation Department, looks forward to serving families with nutritious meal options at no cost during the summer months.

This week at The Bud...
Parents and Guardians:
Will your student turn 15 over the summer? Do they also plan to get their learner's driving permit? If so, you will need a certificate of attendance from school. There will be no one on campus this summer to get this information, so plan ahead and request a certificate now! Scan the QR code and fill out the form. This is only for students who will turn 15 BEFORE next school year.
Congratulations to our Teacher and Staff Member of the month, Mrs. Karen Jones and Ms. Hollie Hollingsworth!

Jessica Stevens, a Watershed Representative from TVA visited the RBMS STEAM and Robotics classes to deliver a Water Quality Monitoring Lab. This lab is a hands-on program that focuses on the physical and chemical qualities that impact our environment and aquatic biodiversity. Students in class tested water from Oothcalooga Creek in Calhoun and were able to analyze data for cause and effects to determine impacts on biodiversity to answer the question “Will this water source support aquatic life?”
