Ramily Matters was created to help our GSCD families feel more connected to each other, to our community, and to the school district. We are the Rams, and we are proud to be. We want our families to feel that school is an extension of their family life. Each month we host a free meal followed by some kind of skill-building activity and free childcare. Ramily Matters is open to any and all district families with kids of any age!

As Family Connections Inc. has built strong ties to GCSD through their school-based counseling services and outreach to support our students and families, these two entities have decided to team up to reach out to our communities for the purpose of building understanding and awareness to mental illness and to offer opportunities for community members to connect with local resources.
