 | 5th Grade Law Day Posted on 05/07/2012 On April 26th, the fifth grade made a trip to the Garden County Courthouse. This is what they thought of their experience, written by Dakota and Ariela. We loved Law Day at the Garden County Courthouse. It was so fun when we got to go into the jail cells led by Sheriff Quinn. First, we got handcuffed. Next, we had a short mock trial in the courtroom with Megan Wobig about a soccer ball robbery. Afterwards, we got to look at our house on Google earth and got to see when it was built with the County Assessor Janet Shaul. Last, we went to the Extension Office and got to experiment with gel crystals and got to see them expand. Finally we went back to the courtroom and ate pizza, chips and drank pops. For dessert, we got ice cream sandwiches. We all wish that we could visit there again!

 | GCE recognizes Breakfast Volunteers! Posted on 05/02/2012 Every weekday morning, the students at Garden County Elementary are blessed with a volunteer that assists with breakfast. These dedicated individuals give their time to help our students enjoy a healthy start to their day. Mrs. Hoagland's students sang "We Appreciate You!" and the primary students presented them with cards. Older students greeted them and gave them all a lovely flowering basket to enjoy this summer. THANK YOU to Penny, Alice Lee, Rosemary, Marilyn, Fern, Tom, and Norma, we really do 'appreciate you'!
