Four FFA members competed at the Lorenzo build off on Saturday! Caleb, Sterling, Denton, and Jared were tasked with building a shooting table in under 5 hours.
The students were able to complete the build and competed very well! Super proud of these students for their skill development and motivation to compete!

Glasscock County FFA members have been busy this week with all kinds of activities!
🔴On Monday, our district officers put on workshops for older members across the district. Our students learned about communication, team work, and influence🔴
🔴 On Wednesday, the state officers visited and gave a presentation on intentionality to over 50 FFA members! We were happy to have Walton Marshall back who is serving Texas FFA as a state officer! Students participated in hands on activities and learned to show intentionality in their own lives🔴
🔴On Thursday, the 8th graders visited the county livestock facility and learned about castration, vaccines, and different types of injections. Big thanks to Mr. Trimble and Mr. Royal for their help!🔴
🔴Students in the ag shop have been busy working through welding tests, completing cow bells for homecoming, and starting projects for show season🔴
It has been a great start to the year!

FFA & FCCLA Tailgate
The JH Black football game for Thursday has been changed. Game is still here at GC at 5:30pm, but we will be playing Water Valley and not Sands. JH Red is still playing Sands JH.
Let's go Kats! #GCPride
Update 2:30PM
The Glasscock County Sheriff’s Department has determined that the social media post under investigation does not seem to pose a credible threat to GCISD. The investigation is ongoing in partnership with the FBI and any relevant criminal charges will be pursued as necessary.
To ensure the continued safety of our students and staff, additional deputies will remain present on campus. As always, we encourage everyone to report any suspicious activity.
Thank you for your cooperation and support.

Still finalizing the JH schedules, we will post when complete.

From Sands CISD:
"Due to construction we have limited parking and seating on the visitors side. We have temporary bleachers that probably seat 75 adults and have an area to park up against the fence for about 15-20 cars. We have a bigger area to park just not where they can sit in their cars to watch games. We do have a concrete area that is between the fence and track and people can bring lawn chairs and sit in that area if they want. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause." Wayne Henderson, Sands CISD
Let's go Bearkats!
Curious how the bond proposal is being broken down? If you have any questions, please email bond@gckats.net.
Bearkat Families,
GCISD and the Glasscock County Sheriff’s Department are aware of social media posts containing concerning content related to schools in the West Texas area. We are taking all necessary safety precautions to ensure the protection of our students, staff, and community. Our commitment to safety remains our top priority, and we will have additional law enforcement officers on campus as a precautionary measure.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Mallory Marr at mmarr@gckats.net.
