1-2-3-4- WE DECLARE A PENNY WAR!
The Penny War will take place TODAY, 9/13/23, through 9/29/23, for K-12.
- Buckets will be available to deposit money into at the beginning of the day and end of the day near the school office
- Pennies in your bucket = positive points
- Each silver coin counts as negative points for OTHER grades. In other words, dropping a quarter in another grade’s bucket takes 25 points from their total. Dollar bills are big points.
- We will announce scores at the end of each week: 9/15 & 9/22
- The grade with the most positive points (money) on 9/29 wins!
- Proceeds will go towards a surprise at the Home of the Ram Stadium Grand Opening on October 6th.

Visit our Bond Update webpage for a 7/14/23 update on our Primary School and High School construction projects! www.g-aschools.org/o/gacs/page/bond-projects
Important Notice: We are learning from our construction supervisor that people are going to our constructions sites to check them out, without permission from himself or the superintendent.
We know it's super exciting to see the progress, but please be respectful of our construction teams and DO NOT attempt to visit the site of the new athletic complex or primary school without first contacting and getting permission from Superintendent Somers. This applies to G-ACS staff as well. Thank you.
