#GrowWithGCS | Jamestown Middle held a house sorting event for their new 6th-grade students. Each student and staff member is sorted into one of four houses-- Carver, Magellan, Thales and Twain. Throughout the year, each house collects points for the House championship. Students opened letters in the gym that let them know which house they will spend the next three years in, joining their fellow housemates in fun and games. Principal Trent Vernon describes how this program makes the school feel more personable to the students, building a sense of community. The reward system encourages them to keep coming back to school, which is a great strategy to spotlight during Attendance Awareness Month. ????
