5th Grade is impressed with all the donations made to the TRACK RESURFACE FUND. We are getting very close to our goal of $20K to resurface the track.


Thanks to the generous parents and the fun auction games at the Spring Fling Dinner we are even closer to hitting our goal.  We are now just a thousand dollars away from meeting our goal.


If you attend the Guadalupe Carnival this Friday, you can make a donation in person at the 5th Grade Fishing Booth. With your donation your student will get to go fishing for a thank you gift. There is still time to donate to the fund, and plenty of time to submit your donation towards COMPANY MATCHING. Donate today, and help the track get resurfaced over the summer.

SPRING BOOK FAIR 5/21-23

GHSC has invited Literati Book Fairs to the Guadalupe Campus for a Spring Book Fair. It's been five years since we last hosted them. Since the library has closed for the school year, this is a perfect opportunity for your student to stock up on books to read during the summer!


When you purchase books at the Book Fair, a % of your sale is a donation to the Guadalupe Library. Look out for the kick-off email on 5/13 about setting up Digital Gift Cards. More info available at GHSC.NET/BOOKFAIR.

Last Week of Library 4/29-5/3

Ms. Jocelyn will start closing up the Guadalupe Library next week. This week (4/29-5/3) is the last week students can check out books. Starting next week students will be asked to return all checked out library books. Ms. Jocelyn will be delivering outstanding book slips to students starting next week. We have several students with books checked out since October. Please remind your student to look for overdue books at home and put them into their backpacks as soon as they find it. Parents can find information about paying for lost library books on GHSC.NET/LIBRARY.


Reminder: Student’s with outstanding library books and a yearbook ordered. The yearbook will be held by the librarian until the book is returned or fee paid to replace it. 

As we near the end of the school year, we have three events coming up, and we need parent, student, and teen volunteers! Please click below to help make these events a great success.
