After learning about the ways our careers influence our fashion choices, GC Walt Disney Elementary School students studied the work of current designers while researching career paths. Students ultimately created fashion designs (from scratch!!) representing their future careers! Katherine Picha

Fifth-graders GC Walt Disney Elementary School learned about careers and then in art class, they created fashions to reflect those paths! It’s the Disney Dragon Fashion Show! #GCPride

Enjoyed seeing the latest "Summer Career Collection" at GC Walt Disney Elementary School today! What a fun interdisciplinary learning experience for all of our students 😊 Katherine Picha Mrs. Hanning #GCPride

Thrilled to share that my alma mater Teachers College, Columbia University is now #1 on the U.S. News & World Report list of #BestGradSchools for education. We're making a difference every day on #TCWay and beyond.

May is all about career exploration in counseling lessons! This is one of my favorite units as I love to see students connect their interests and abilities to a possible career path. The opportunities are endless for them! #GCcares #GCpride
