FROM OUR PRINCIPAL
Dear Agritopia Families,
At GCS we have KNIGHTS Core Values, which are seven attributes we want to instill in our students. Next week, we will be going in-depth highlighting those values with a theme color, a challenge at school and a challenge for your family. Students are encouraged to wear a school polo matching the day’s color or a free dress, school appropriate shirt of their choice that matches the daily theme color. There are no other changes to what students can normally wear, as this is different from a spirit week. Today, the youngest child in each family will be coming home with a Core Value Week postcard detailing the overview for the week.
Dress Code Guidelines
- Dress code bottoms (jeans, khakis, etc.)
- Shirts must have sleeves and extend below the waistline
- No crazy hair or hair painted in different colors, no face paint, no hats, sunglasses, headgear, etc.

We are excited to be personally challenged by living out our Core Values in this tangible way at home, on campus, and in the community. Please pray for God to reveal wonderful things about Himself to our students, staff, and families as we seek to be light to our community for His kingdom purposes.
Educating with eternity in mind,
