The Gordon County Schools (GCS) Nutrition Program was awarded a $35,000 grant from Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign.
Congrats to the Sonoraville High School Competition Cheerleaders! They took their Region Championship and moved on to State on Friday before the Thanksgiving Break. They did a fabulous job, left it on the mats, and were called to the floor for top six in the state. Both the region championship and being called to the floor were goals met by these talented ladies! They placed 6th overall beating everyone in our region again plus more. The program will continue to work hard, become stronger, and strive for the ultimate goal of winning state.
GO FIGHT PHOENIX!!!!
