September is Attendance Awareness Month! To celebrate school attendance, we will have a friendly competition among our schools. The school with the highest attendance percentage during the month of September will win an ice cream party. The school with highest attendance percentage on September 30th will receive an attendance trophy! Help your child by ensuring he/she is at school every day and on time, sending notes when they must be absent due to illness, and supporting your child to develop good attendance habits! #GoCoSchools #GETGCS #OneBIGFamily

Our theme for the 2022-2023 school year is #OneBIGFamily. We asked Christina Cote, third grade teacher at W.L. Swain Elementary and the 2022-2023 Swain Teacher of the Year, what it means to be part of our One BIG Family: “I am thankful that I am a part of Gordon County One Big Family because we are very supportive of one another. We encourage and support one another as teachers and in our classrooms. When there are needs in our classroom, whether it be curriculum or students, we can count on our coworkers and administrators to help. We want the best for each and every student and teacher. That is something that is very valuable in this field. As an example, one year I had larger class sizes and needed to complete an assessment for every student. I asked for help in assisting in getting the assessments completed and administration asked other teachers to come help. The specials teachers and ELL teacher gave up time from their planning to come help me so I could the assessments. They had a great attitude too as I was very appreciative of their time and help. It was so great knowing that others would help when we needed it.” #GoCoSchools #GETGCS

Graphic Design students are learning and experimenting creating their own brushes in Adobe Illustrator. Students then take these brushes and use them to create an illustration of a linocut or block print. Students are working with the basic element of line and learning how it can be used to create texture, shape, contrast within an illustration.

Graphic Design Students working with Adobe brushes

Graphic Design students at the Gordon County College & Career Academy completed a mock-up Golf Tournament brochure. The assignment was completed using Adobe Illustrator. In this 2 week project students learned about page set-up, including bleed and safe margins for text. Students also learned and practiced creating clipping mask using shapes and images, text, alignment tools, opacity, and transform tools. Pictured is a print-ready pdf file students had to create prior to printing. After creating their mock-up they used a Ricoh 5100 to print and fold their finished assignment.
