Thank you to all of you who came and participated in the events of GPCS Homecoming 2012. Alumni were invited to a reception Friday night at The Lost Coin Cafe and to a day of soccer on Saturday. The last game of the day on Saturday was GPCS Alumni vs GPCS Varsity. Once again this year, GPCS Alumni won a close game! Congratulations and see you and hopefully more of you next year!

GPCS Development Director Resigns:
Dear G.P.C.S. Families:
Unfortunately, this week we have been informed by Andrew Ferreira, our Development Director, that due to personal circumstances he will not be able to continue his employment with GPCS. His last day will be October 19th. Andrew has agreed to help complete some development projects he is working on prior to his last day.
We wish Andrew the best in whatever direction God leads him. He has been a valuable member of the GPCS staff and he will be greatly missed.
The board is currently discussing what the next steps will be to find a new development director. Any development questions should be directed to Keith Dawson. The development committee will continue to meet and work on the ongoing tasks of development.
When a suitable candidate has been found and hired, we will notify the GPCS family as soon as possible.
Thank you,
