Hands up. Who's going to the GCSS Conference in October? The Georgia Council will be in the house. This year we are offering three action-packed sessions that will knock your socks off.

Session two (middle school): "Teaching Financial Fitness for Life" will showcase numerous lessons from the new and improved FFFL publication. 

Session three (elementary school): "Biographies of Great Americans" is your chance to see the latest GCEE publication, a series of lessons that highlight the economic lives of the people who show up in the K-3 social studies GPS.

Everyone at GCEE hopes to see you in Athens.
