Belwood Elementary School

Gordon County Sheriff's Office proudly hosted the CHAMPS graduation ceremony at Belwood Elementary School today, celebrating the dedication and perseverance of our students over the past year. CHAMPS, which stands for Choosing Healthy Activities and Methods Promoting Safety, equips students with essential life skills and knowledge to make informed, responsible decisions. Throughout the program, students engaged in discussions on critical topics such as bullying, alcohol awareness, home-alone safety, child abduction prevention, and internet safety. Their commitment to learning and personal growth was truly commendable. To recognize outstanding participation and achievement, top-performing students were honored with awards for their exceptional engagement in the program. We are confident that the skills and values instilled through CHAMPS will serve them well in the future. #graduation #motivation #positivity #education #TogetherGCS #BelwoodFamily#CHAMPS

So much is happening at Belwood, and it's ALL GOOD stuff! Mrs. Holt and Mr. Fox "took one for the team" when they agreed to get water ballooned if students met their fund raising goal! Here are a few snaps of the pain and suffering they endured! The kids had a ball, or should we say, a balloon 😂😂

April Character students were recognized May 8th with a special breakfast provided by our local Chick-fil-a restaurant. CFA Calhoun also provides the curriculum Core Essentials, which we use to promote core values in our students. Core values are personal ethics or ideals that guide us when making decisions, building relationships and solving problems. The core value for April was HOPE. Hope means believing that something good can come out of something bad.
