Don't forget the FREE Family Fun Day and Kid's race on Sunday, September 22!! Please read below:
We are excited to announce the changes to the Kid's portion of the Annual Unity Run. This year, the Kid's Race, sponsored by AGC Pediatrics, will be on Sunday, September 22, at Gordon Central High School. We will partner with the Gordon Prevention Initiative to provide a FREE Family Fun Day that will include several different races, event t-shirts, fun inflatables, food, and prizes.
The races will be for kids up to 12 years old. We will also reach out to churches and surrounding counties to encourage participation. I have attached the flyer with the QR Code for easy registration, or here is the website link;
https://www.gordoncountyunitedway.org/kidsrun
We are requiring registration for race participation so we can order the correct number of shirts, obtain the parental participation agreement, and prepare enough food for the event.

September Menus and Food Fun Facts:
If your child brings lunch from home, but they get to school and decide they would like the hot meal provided by the lunchroom, they can get a lunch tray for free and eat it as well as their food from home.
Our lunch room also provides "lunch pals" which is a little extra bag of food like crackers and a cheese stick that students can get in addition to their lunch. All for free.

At every age, kids need
significant relationships.
The significant relationships in a child’s life include parents, teachers,
relatives, coaches, and spiritual leaders.
As a parent, you can encourage these relationships as a way to ensure
that other trusted adults are surrounding your kids with the same
messages and advice that you would.
So don’t miss it. This year, this month, today is just a Phase!
A cada edad, los niños
necesitan de relaciones
significantes.
Las relaciones significantes en la vida de un niño incluyen aquellas con
los padres, maestros, parientes, entrenadores y guías espirituales.
Como padres, ustedes pueden animar este tipo de relaciones con otros
adultos confiables que están cerca de tus hijos para que compartan el
mismo mensaje y consejos que ustedes hacen con ellos.
Entonces, no te olvides: Este año, este mes, incluso hoy… recuerden ¡es
solamente una fase!


We’re proud to celebrate our "Homegrown" educators and staff at Gordon County Schools who graduated from our high schools! Thank you for giving back to the community you love. You help make our schools a special place!

A HUGE shoutout to our Belwood students!
We started collecting uneaten cafeteria food this past week so we can stock our new food pantry located at Belwood.
Your children are so kind and generous.
We remind students to eat all the food on their tray that they want to eat for breakfast and lunch!
Only donate unopened items they will not consume.
In one week, Belwood rescued 213 POUNDS of food that we were able to send home with families who could use extra food over the weekend!
If you would like more information on how we can work TOGETHER to grow Helping Hands Ending Hunger, please contact Ms. Holt monicaholt@gcbe.org
or Ms. Bateman dbateman@gcbe.org

How about two Belwood Alumni came this morning to welcome our littlest learners in car rider line! Madeline and McKenzie took a stroll down memory lane as they said good morning to our pajama and hat wearing students. Thank you girls for representing not only GC chorus well, but also Belwood!
Come back again soon:)

In case you don't have any plans for this long weekend, enjoy this picture of Brady Hansard fishing in St. George Island, Florida. Brady said the fish he caught was as big as a car, but he didn't send that picture. Hmmmmmm..........
It's not too late to make your reservations:)

Hey Belwood family!
Tomorrow is the last day to order class t-shirts. Shirts will be worn on special days at school, field trips, and more.
You can send it in tomorrow with cash or check, or go online to take care of it.
If you can't print off an order form but want to send the money in, just write your child's name and the t-shirt size on a piece of notebook paper and send in his/her folder with the money:)
Here is the link to order online:

Thank you!
