Career days offer an opportunity for students to listen, receive information, and ask questions. The activities are created to help students begin identifying areas of career interest and to increase students' comfort level in interacting with adult professionals.
Career Day often introduces students to careers they may not have imagined. Students have the chance to learn about careers that align with their interests and skills, so they can start to narrow down what careers to pursue in the future.
Students become more motivated, self-directed learners when they understand the relationship between academics, career and education planning and achieving their own career goals. Career development allows individuals to discover who they are, what they like to do and what they do best.
Mrs. Holt also pointed out that collaborating with our community stakeholders is critical. She said, "Students don’t just learn from their teachers. Community members and leaders can play a vital role in a student’s education. Career Day provides a platform where students can directly interact with members of their community. Having a diverse group of presenters allows students to see themselves represented in different career paths."
Thankful for our village today and everyday!

Someone once said, "No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else."
Well, that someone was P. T. Barnum and he came to Belwood this week to remind students that not only is it OKAY to be different, but being different is what makes them special!
The 2024 Gordon County Schools Summer Feeding Program starts June 3rd through July 18th! This program serves our community by providing no-cost, healthy meals and snacks to children ages 0-18. Food will be offered Monday through Thursday each week, and Thursdays will include Friday, Saturday, and Sunday meals. Please note that all sites will be closed July 4th and 5th.
Food pickup locations are at Tolbert Elementary and Sonoraville High School from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Gordon County Schools will also have vans and buses delivering meals to our Mobile Locations marked with yard signs that read, "This is a Gordon County Summer Feeding Site." Listen for the honking horns as notification of arrival and please be patient as times will vary by each location. After the first week, we will announce more exact times for the Mobile Locations as our feeding staff workers learn and finalize their routes.
Check out the flyer for more information! The Gordon County Schools Nutrition Department, partnered with our Transportation Department, looks forward to serving families with nutritious meal options at no cost during the summer months.
Congratulations to the C.H.A.M.P.S. 5th grade graduates at Belwood Elementary! The C.H.A.M.P.S. (Choosing Healthy Activities and Methods Promoting Safety) program in Gordon County Schools is a partnership between the Gordon County Sheriff's Department and our elementary schools, serving to help empower our youth with valuable life skills and knowledge to make informed choices and contribute positively to their communities. Lieutenant Brian Brannon congratulated these 5th graders who participated in the program. Thank you Lt. Brannon, Maj. Harris and the GCSD for educating and empowering our students and community through our law enforcement partnerships.
This precious fourth grader found some money in the school hallway and turned it into the office. INTEGRITY! What a compliment when someone notices that you have integrity! We should all learn to do better! Thank you Annahlyse Mowry for being a good example for us:)
