🐾GCES Wildcats: Week At-A-Glance🐾

🎨✨ Our Wildcats celebrated creativity with a schoolwide art project inspired by The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds! In the story, Vashti believes she can’t draw until her teacher encourages her to “make her mark.” That one small dot grows into confidence, creativity, and endless possibilities. Under the guidance of our wonderful art teacher, Mrs. Chapman, students embraced this message by creating their own colorful dots. Now our hallways are filled with unique artwork that reminds us all to be brave, creative, and to make our mark! #GoGilmer #LoveMyWVSchool

📅 We’re excited to share the Gilmer County Schools Important Dates for the 2025-2026 school year!

Thank you for partnering with us to support strong attendance and student success! #gogilmer #attendancematters
