Welcome to our newest FGC Character Council Members!

This group was super excited to meet for the first time today.  I know they will serve our school well as we work together to support and strengthen character education initiatives in our school.

Dream of a Drug Free World

Our Red Ribbon Week is coming to an end.  Today was "Dream of a Drug Free World" (Pajama Day). Tomorrow is "Say Boo to Drugs."  I can't wait to see our students in their costumes. Parents...please come and join us for the parade and parties.  It is always a fun day at the FGC!

Mix It Up Day at Lunch

Today we recognized National Mix It Up Day at Lunch through our Red Ribbon Week festivities. The theme for the day was "Don't Get Mixed Up in Drugs".  Students wore mis mis-matched clothes of different colors and seasons and participated in meaningful discussion during "Mix It Up Lunch" regarding making healthy choices and saying "no" to dangerous drugs and substances.  We finished each lunch shift by taking a Drug Free Pledge and having each table sign a red ribbon for our banner. Tomorrow's theme is "Be on a Drug Free Team".  Don't forget to wear your favorite team jersey or shirt.

Red Ribbon Week 2015

Today is the kick off for Red Ribbon Week 2015.  Today was our "Wear Red" Day.  Tomorrow is Mix It Up Day which will correlate to our Mix It Up Day at Lunch.

Due' Time for a Cure

So many fun events during the month of October at the FGC (and within the community), but one of my favorites of the entire year is our Service Learning Project for Siteman Cancer Center.  Our amazing and talented Art Teacher, Emily Taylor, leads this for our school every year and each and every year it continues to grow.  Students make courage stones and notes for those undergoing cancer treatments, make silk screened tshirts to sell both at our school as well as others, necklaces, buttons, and much more.  All proceeds go to benefit Siteman Caner Center and the work they do towards finding a cure.  Our "Pink" Day this year was October 16th.  Here are just some of the photos that represent the tremendous power that we hold as we come together collectively to work towards a common cause.  It is Due' Time for a Cure!

Homecoming 2015

What a beautiful day we had on Saturday to celebrate Ladue Homecoming.  Our Dragons showed up (as well as our new Mascot).  It was a fantastic day! Dewey made some other mascot friends and  our FGC Dragons loved walking together and representing our wonderful school. Go Rams...and Dragons!!
