GWCS Faculty Appreciation Week May 13-17

GWCS Faculty and Staff go above and beyond the call of duty from before the first day of school until after graduation to provide the best educational experience for our children. This is never clearer than the second semester.

In addition to individualized teaching and advising, faculty are organizing senior internships, taking underclassmen on OBX experiences, and organizing multi-day trips for students for academic and social enrichment. We invite everyone to join us in showing appreciation the week of May 13 – 17. Parents will soon receive an email with detailed signups for food contributions and volunteering, but we’d love to hear from you NOW so we can identify a core group of volunteers.

If you are able to help out that week, please contact Sharon Lin at sjchen27@cox.net. She’ll follow up with opportunities. We have different schedules and time commitments to meet your availability.

Thank you! Sharon Lin and Shannon Rudisill (shannonrudisill@gmail.com)

Here are our graduation volunteer committees so far:

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING...

EVERY tuesday DURING 4TH QUARTER!

All entry fees and program costs are provided by the GWCS Foundation!

OBX (Outside the Box Education) is an nine-week program that takes place every Tuesdays during fourth quarter for GWCS eighth-graders, freshmen, and sophomores. This year, students will be on and off-campus for collaborative and experiential learning activities.

Please do not schedule doctor appointments for Tuesdays during 4th Quarter. We have an exciting lineup of events for all of our Tuesdays. See below for more information!

OBX Overview

OBX #3 | April 30 | Luray Caverns

8:30 AM - 3:15 PM

NO GYM! - please arrive by 8:30 am for an 8:45 am departure

Destination: luray caverns

ABOUT:

Instead of the Metro and darkness, we will enjoy 1 hour 40 min drive through the lovely rolling Virginia countryside.

After arriving we will try our sense of direction in the 1-acre Garden Maze, the biggest hedge maze in the Mid-Atlantic states with over 1500 Evergreen hedges and over 40 junctions.

Then we will strap in and explore the Rope Adventure Course, like a huge, multi-level Jungle Gym of ropes and wood.

After that we will rest with a pizza lunch and a lazy wander through the Car and Carriage Caravan Museum, and maybe the gift shop, before beginning our walk through the cool caverns just when it is getting hot.

Luray Caverns is world famous – considered Geology’s Hall of Fame. A self-guided tour along well-lighted paved walkways will lead us through cathedral-sized rooms with ceilings 10-stories high to view towering stone formations and natural wonders at every turn.

Then another beautiful and restful ride back to GWCS.

Attire:

Dress for comfort outdoors and in the cool caverns in clothing that will accommodate being strapped into a climbing harness.
Make sure you have shoes that are good for walking on cement, wood and rope. No flip-flops.
Sunscreen may be appropriate for our outdoor activities before lunch.
Wear GWCS Spirit gear if you have it.

Lunch: We will have pizza and drink at a picnic area by the ropes course. You may bring your own lunch if you prefer.

Parents! We would love to have you join us! Please let me know if interested.
