🍎 Help Us Give Our New Teachers a Big GCR2 Welcome! 🍎

This year, we're excited to welcome 12 new teachers to the Gasconade County R-II School District—and here's the exciting part... 🎉This is the SMALLEST new teacher cohort in the last six years! 🎉

That means we have a wonderful opportunity to make an even bigger impact by giving each of them a warm GCR2 welcome. If you'd like to help, please review the attached letter from Assistant Superintendent Jesse Janssen for donation details. Donations are requested by July 23 so we have time to assemble the bags.

Thank you for helping us show our newest Dutchmen that they're joining more than a school district—they're becoming part of an incredible community. 🧡🖤
