This week we have celebrated our teachers and faculty for Teacher Appreciation Week! We were so overwhelmed by the response from our Wrangler Families and their willingness to celebrate our teachers and faculty during our Tasty Treat Thursday! We are so grateful for all of teachers! #TeacherAppreciationWeek #WeAppreciateYou

Students from George participated in the 1st ever Springdale All Region Jr. High clinic day at Springdale High School this past Wednesday and it was a huge success! Students from George, Lakeside, Southwest, and Central attended the clinic. The TTB choir was under the direction of Harber High School Director, Clint Pianalto. The SSA choir was at the helm of Springdale High School Director, Millie Peters. Pianalto said, “what a way to break the fast from concerts! Very few districts in Arkansas could even attempt a project like this, let alone produce a product this good. #Thechoice! Go Springdale!” Millie added, “it was terrific spending the day with some fabulous singers. One of my favorite days of this school year!!” George had 21 students placed in this year's region choir. It was a fantastic experience for our students to perform music that they worked extremely hard on to gain a spot in the region choir. What a great day to be a Wrangler!

Wrangler Families: If your family is moving, your student is transferring, or your student has been dropped for whatever reason, please make sure that your student has turned in both their Chromebook and charger to GJHS. You may turn it into the office any time during school hours. The Chromebook will be locked as soon as your student is dropped, so they will no longer have any access to the device. You will be charged $340 to replace the Chromebook and charger if it is not returned in a reasonable amount of time. Thank you so much for your understanding and cooperation.

Wrangler Families: Please continue to help us keep students in school by making sure they are leaving your house with a clean mask, washing cloth masks to keep them fresh for wearing, or even purchasing throw-away masks students can keep in their backpacks. We only have a few weeks left of school. Thank you for working to ensure your student is following Springdale School District Policy and "Wearing Because You Care". Happy Friday!

Our GJHS FCCLA students attended the virtual FCCLA State Leadership Conference today.
