Our Kindergartners spent the day exploring the Charleston Aquarium!





Last Tuesday Berkeley County School District celebrated 1st year teachers! Congratulations Ms. Howard, Mrs. MacQueen, Ms. Quick, and Mrs. Short for sharing your first year with GCE!




Congratulations to the GCE alumni who are graduating high school in just a few days!











As a way of continuing to promote child nutrition and adding to the many celebrations capping the end of the school year, Berkeley County School District’s Office of Child Nutrition Services will launch a special giveaway next week (May 20–24) that will offer some big prizes.
Elementary, middle and high school students eating lunch and/or breakfast next week will be entered into a drawing for prizes that include, but are not limited to:
*iPads
*Wireless earbuds/headphones
*Underwater cameras
*Projectors
*Action cameras
*Bluetooth speakers
Students will receive one entry into the drawing for each meal they eat. Winners will be drawn at random, and those who eat multiple meals will obviously have an increased chance of winning.


Congratulations to our Goose Creek Heating and Air Kindness Award recipient for the month of May!

We need a construction crew to widen our doorways because some of our little Otters' brains are getting too big! These two young ladies have passed 100 iReady lessons! Way to go girls!
