GCCS iTeam Families,
We will be coming to the end of the final quarter and students will need to be thinking about the end of the year. Please talk to your child about bringing their things home from their lockers and checking lost and found for any lost items. Also, they need to be sure they have all assignments and make-up work turned in to their teachers along with their Yondr pouches. Yondr pouches will be turned in to Mrs. Mac. If they are not turned in, your FACTS account will be charged $30. Thanks for encouraging your child to finish strong! Have a great weekend!
Blessings,
Mrs. B.

Our last few chapels have been important because our students are learning the final foundations of their faith. With Pastor David, we explored how we, as Christians, can know right from wrong. Then, in the following weeks, Mrs. B. and Pastor John shared how other false worldviews deal with issues of right and wrong. Students were reminded that they are loved by a Holy God who shows His children how to walk in Truth and Grace. He does not leave us to wonder which way to turn. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Mental Health Awareness Month (Part 2)!!!
Hi everyone, and happy Friday! I hope everyone has had a good and safe week. For our last Counselor's Corner of the school year, I wanted to continue last week’s conversation regarding Mental Health Awareness Month. This year’s theme – More Good Days, Together – is one that really resonates with me. I love that this theme highlights the importance of community and connection. Although the theme was probably not chosen with Scripture in mind, we know as believers know that God’s Word reiterates the importance of community time and time again – for support (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12), accountability (Galatians 6:1), refinement (Proverbs 27:17), and encouragement (Hebrews 10:24-25), just to name a few. We read in Genesis that the first time God identifies something as “not good” refers to man being alone (2:18), and on the flip side, the book of Psalms also teaches us that it is in fact “good” and “pleasant” to live in unity with God’s people (133:1)! I can certainly think of times in my life that have served as evidence for the power of strong community, and hopefully you can too.
It is no secret that it can be a common tendency for people to isolate themselves during difficult seasons of life, but this instinct is not always for our benefit. Isolation impacts our emotional and physical well-being – including increasing our risk for health complications such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke, among others, and this is something that can affect all age groups.* However, on the other hand, we see the benefit of community and connection through social connectedness’ correlation with “lower anxiety, depression, sleeplessness, and suicide rates. In other words, community is critically important to mental health.”* I know I have said this before, but I think it is so cool when science points to and proves Scripture!
As you approach summer break, consider the impact that community has made on your family’s life. Feel free to continue this conversation with your student over the weekend and discuss what the idea of community means to your family both collectively and individually. Where do you find connection? Do you tend to lean into that support or pull away during trials? As referenced in Galatians 6:2, is it easier for you to carry someone else’s burdens, or allow someone in to carry yours? We are never alone, even though it might feel like it sometimes. Some of you may be walking through a difficult season right now, and if that is true, please know that I am praying for you. If there is anything I can do to better support your family during these last couple weeks of school, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
That's all for today folks! Thank you for your time, and have an amazing summer break!!! 🙂
Blessings,
Mrs. Trem
