What’s Happening Wednesdays?

Sign-Up for your 7th Period Wednesday Class BY TUE. 9/26

Welcome to the best part of your Wednesdays—7th period! Not only is this the perfect time to sharpen your minds and explore new things, but this class also counts toward your Student Enrichment credit. That’s right, you’re learning and leveling up! By the end of this, you’ll not only be a master of the material, but you’ll also be one step closer to crossing that finish line. So, buckle up, because we’re about to make Wednesdays way more interesting!

And for the final classes we have:

CHESS with Mr. Parisi: Welcome to 7th Period Chess, where strategy meets fun! Whether you’re a grandmaster in the making or a complete beginner, this class is designed to sharpen your mind and elevate your game.
YEARBOOK with Mr. Goldie: In this class, you’ll help capture the unforgettable moments of the year and design a yearbook that’s more than just pages—it’s a keepsake full of memories. Whether you’re a photographer, writer, or someone with an eye for design, there’s a place for you on the team.
SCIENCE PODCAST PARTY with Mr. Howarth: Since current events in Science & Technology affect our daily lives, it is important to “keep up” with our ever-changing world. Podcasts are the newest avenue for learning in media, so we are going to explore them in our weekly “listening parties."
We will mix up topics so there is something for everyone…and a great way to do that is with the famous NPR Podcast, SCIENCE FRIDAY*.
DANCE with Ms. Graham: Welcome to 7th Period Dance, where we’re bringing the heat with hip hop and a little line dancing on the side! It’s all about rhythm, fun, and expressing yourself while earning your student enrichment credit. So lace up, bring your energy, and let’s dance our way through Wednesdays!
MUSIC with Mr. Mallonee: Welcome to Music with Mr. Mallonee, where we’ll explore the sounds, rhythms, and melodies that make music come alive! Whether you’re a budding musician or just love to jam out, this class is your space to create, listen, and appreciate music in all its forms. From instruments to vocals, theory to practice, you’ll find yourself immersed in the art of sound.

Parent Coffee at Peet’s…

Thanks for a Great Evening of Connecting!

Back-to-School Night Recap

Wednesday night was a blast! Thank you to everyone who showed up, brought delicious food, and made it a fantastic event. For those who couldn’t make it, we missed you, but hope to see you at our next Parent Coffee on Thursday, September 26th at 8:15 a.m. at Peet’s Coffee (right behind the school).

The evening was filled with fun, get-to-know-you games, and an opportunity to hear from each teacher. At GWCS, every teacher works with every student, regardless of whether they have them in a traditional class. This ensures our community-driven approach to education.

Some thought-provoking discussions emerged throughout the night:

Could there be an international trip during spring break?
Should parents start their own Facebook page to share valuable resources like camps, service opportunities, and driving schools? [Done!]
What would a sex education program look like, if we started one?

We also learned a few fun tidbits:

No one reads emails anymore!
Ms. Warden’s only social media presence is SignUpGenius.
Coyote Web can help you find fellow parents nearby.
Parents are always welcome in the building!

Stay tuned for future events, keep using SignUpGenius, and let’s keep that Coyote Pride going strong! And always, ALWAYS, read the WYNK. 😉
