Pizza's and Twitter

The 6h graders at GKMS are currently participating in a fundraiser to help raise money for Lorado Taft. Students are selling pizza's, all of the money earned for this fundraiser will go to the Lorado Taft outdoor learning experience. Lorado Taft is a community staple; the money raised from the fundraiser helps us provide this experience for our students. Please support our sudents if you can, the support we receive from the community has always been outstanding!

 GKMS works hard to communicate with parents and community members. One new tool we have been using regularly is Twitter. Parents and community members an sign up for free to follow us on twitter, @gkmscogs. Through this free website, parents can have these updates sent to their phone for instant updates on school functions, announcements etc. For a tutorial on how to get signed up, please watch this brief tutorial. We have had a great start to the school year; we are so very lucky to work with the students and parents of this great community!
