Boosterthon Information
We are kicking off our Mountain Park FUNdraiser on Thursday, September 16. This year, students will be completing 35 laps at the glow run on Friday, September 24! It’s going to be a FUN experience for ALL students and comes with a brand new character theme, called Sports City Worldwide! Not only will this help our school raise some much needed funds, but it will also engage your students socially & emotionally.

School Nutrition Program
While breakfast and lunch will be provided at no charge for all GCPS in-person and digital students this school year, it still pays to complete the Free and Reduced-price Meal Application. Confirmed eligibility establishes a number of benefits for individual students such as free or discounted college-admissions tests, AP exams, and college applications; scholarship opportunities; and no- and low-cost access to technology and internet plans. In addition, the percentages of qualifying students at a school are used as a measure to secure additional federal funding (Title I) to support students and their education, promote family engagement, and provide additional technology and internet access. Title I funds pay for additional teachers, Parent Centers, additional learning opportunities for students, extra resources, added technology, and more.
