It’s exciting to see students practicing skills that they will be using in the future, and their futures are looking bright!! Mrs. Wellman’s business students are seen here fine tuning their resumes.
Perhaps the most impressive part was all the volunteer experience that so many of them had listed! Our students are amazing!

This is AJ, and today we suprised him with a visit to brag on him and give him a “RACK” bracelet (Random Act of Cody Kindness)! Someone wrote us about seeing AJ perform a wonderful act of kindness.
While other kids at Wednesday night church were playing, AJ was helping an elderly woman. He held her hand, patiently and gently helping her to her car. We are so proud of AJ’s character!
We love to share all the positive about our students, so please let us know about a GC student who you’ve seen domonstrating kindness.
Thanks again to GC’s Officer Gollihue for allowing us to join in on Random Acts of Cody Kindness!
Athletic schedule for the week of January 1!

It’s hard to believe, but our cooks serve 3,000 meals per day here at GC!! Serving 7 schools throughout the district, our hardworking food service staff keep our students fed every single day. Talk about hard work!
Please help us thank our cooks!! We’ll be highlighting more kitchens as we go to let you know the amazing feats accomplished each day here at GC! #BelieveInGC
Driver shortages may cause delays to the routes listed. Information was given to schools to communicate to students prior to loading buses.
Likely 15-20 minute delays for: 2202, 2201, 1001, 628, 1501, 702
Possible 45 minute delay for: 603
Please help us spread the word in gaining drivers, as our pay is the highest in the area. Driver shortages create significant strain on our transportation department that is out of their control.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding.
Please contact (606) 473-7514 for any questions.
Thank you to the Blue Knights WVIII law enforcement motorcycle club!! They stopped by today to make a donation to Wurtland Middle School’s FRYSC (Family Resource Youth Service Center)!
This will help Greenup County children, and we appreciate it very much! #BelieveInGC
This Musketeer just made All-State in band! Sarah Pierce plays flute, and those who know her say that this achievement is not surprising! Sarah, a senior, is a great student who has continually worked hard at her craft. She brings back a high honor to GC, and we couldn’t be more proud.
Sarah said she auditioned last year as well, and was thrilled to earn the distinction this year. When asked about what could be different this year, Sarah had a few comments on the current culture of GC’s music program.
“I’m really enjoying band this year, and Mr. Coleman is doing a great job,” she said. When asked about the increased presence of marching band at GC, she explained, “marching band has really increased morale… it’s great to have it back.” She further elaborated that Mr. Coleman (band director and Marine Corp veteran), “has put in a lot of work, and I think it has rubbed off on us… he’s really trying to push us.”
We’re thrilled to see Sarah achieve All-State, and are so proud of her! Congrats, Musketeer!

Athletic / event schedule for the week of December 11-16!! #BelieveInGC
This is Irelyn and John John, and our encounter with these 3rd grade students today was both adorable and inspiring!
Today our “camera man” was filming a fun video during lunch when John John came up and said, “hey… me and my friend Irelyn need to talk to you!” When the camera man informed John John that he wasn’t a teacher at the school, the young man insisted that they needed to talk! He even made sure to point out where they’d be sitting so that we could find him and his friend.
When the video wrapped up, we went to find John John and his friend. Irelyn didn’t waste any time explaining that she needed our camera man to teach her how to work a video camera because she’s making a documentary! While this is her project, she recruited John John and some others to help her out with it and it’s obvious that everyone is on a mission to make it happen. Irelyn went on to explain that the documentary is about a game the students made up to play during recess, and that she’s making this documentary as a part of a class.
It turns out that every detail of Irelyn’s story was spot on. This is a project she’s working on for Mrs. Stout’s “genius hour” class. If you’d witnessed this whole encounter in person, you would have been smiling from ear to ear by the way these 3rd graders were equal parts professional, motivated, and excited!
It makes us full of pride and gratitude to see our students enjoying such wonderful experiences! #BelieveInGC
