ATTENTION GWCS JUNIORS…

Every fall, the GWCS junior class heads north to Gettysburg. It is not truly analogous to Lee’s march on Gettysburg in 1863, but we mention it. Of course, we ride on highways through rolling hills and arrive in good condition and good spirits in less than three hours, and Lee’s troops arrived after a forty day March, but still, the similarities are undeniable.” ~ Richard Goldie 2016

Take the PSATs & SATs @ GWCS…

PSAT Testing date: Wednesday, Oct. 12

SAT Testing date: Wednesday, Oct. 12

Please note that there is no gym Wednesday, Oct. 12. Students should report directly to school at GWCS at 9:15 am!

This year we are offering the SAT through the SAT School Days program alongside the PSAT. This means that we will be administering the test on a weekday, expanding access to a globally recognized college admission test that's widely accepted at U.S. colleges. This is a great opportunity for those who haven’t yet taken it a first time, those who may want to retake it (and see if they get a higher score – they’ll submit your highest to colleges), or even Sophomores who feel comfortable with the PSAT and feel ready to try out the SAT.

The PSAT will be offered this year for any underclassmen (grades 9-11) who would like to take the PSAT.

Stressed about what’s on the test? Khan Academy has some great, free PSAT/SAT prep– you can find it HERE.

We will send more information about test-day policies, what to bring, and day-of schedules to students who are participating in testing next week.

Psst… we’re heading back to Staunton...

for the STAUNTON SHAKESPEARE TRIP!

NOVEMBER 11-13, 2022

GWCS students are invited to join Mr. Goldie and Ms. N-O on a road-trip down to Staunton, Virginia to take-in three Shakespeare plays, learn Shakespeare staging, eat at Staunton’s best restaurants, wander around the historic downtown, explore Luray Caverns, consume ice cream and baked goods every night, and stop to romp around the Frontier Culture Museum in between all the fun.

See our full (tentative) itinerary here!

In order to secure our rooms/tickets/dinner reservations we need a headcount to work with, so please sign-up quickly by bringing a check for $595.00 to school and giving it to Ms. Nuñez-Oliver or Mr. Goldie. Spots will fill-up quickly and tickets are limited!

FRESH VEG NEEDED…

ESPECIALLY KALE!

This is Tortellini, our resident Russian Tortoise.

He is a ferocious plant eater. Kale leaves quake in his presence.

We have three turtle friends: Grouchy and Sweetie (red-eared sliders), and Tortellini (Russian tortoise). They are all on a natural raw diet which mainly consists of fresh, leafy greens! If you have any veggies from home or want to purchase and donate food items - it is much appreciated! Please bring donations directly to Ms. Kohler in the lab. The below list are their favorite staples. Thank you for helping keep our beloved school pets well nourished!
