Thursday was Gordon Central Night at the Fair, and we are grateful to the Northwest Georgia Fair Association for its continued support of our arts programs. Each year, our choral program has the opportunity to work the gates in exchange for a donation from the Fair Association, and last night, our band also received a generous contribution in recognition of their participation in community events such as the fair and local Christmas parades. We are thankful for these partnerships that help enrich the experiences of our students.
🎉💙 Huge shoutout to our amazing Gordon Central Cafeteria Staff! 💙🎉

Mrs. Rainwater's Journalism class was privileged to have McKenzie Blaze as their guest speaker via Zoom today. Ms. Blaze is a sports reporter from WALB in Albany, Georgia. She spoke to the class about what her job entails, the skills needed for sports reporting, how she spends her day, and the highs and lows of sports reporting.
On Wednesday, Mrs. Sullivan's 10th grade class took part in a Gallery Walk, diving deep into The Book Thief and exploring the profound themes woven through Death’s narration.
From reflections on mortality and the power of words to the haunting beauty of human resilience, their insights sparked meaningful conversations and fresh perspectives. So proud of these thoughtful readers and their ability to connect literature to life.
