Our Town Mystery! (K-2nd grade)
GCM's small community, Our Town, is in chaos! Overnight, all the citizens disappeared and we would like your class to not only solve the mystery of the missing townspeople, but to also fill in for the missing workers of Our Town. Please join us in bringing order back to Our Town.
