Did you know that you can find useful information on the GMS webpage, http://www.gmstigers.com/?  Under the "Parent" tab, you can find the daily announcements read by students at 1:00 pm.  This is a great place to find upcoming events like club meetings, sport events, and possible author visits.  Also on the website, under "counseling corner", we have started posting the Gorzycki 101 and SEL lessons.  The topic for next week is Cyber bullying. It is a requirement that all students must receive a 45 minute lesson on Cyber Safety. This same requirement was completed by all students last year and the same resources will be used.   All this information is posted on the website. 

Looks like our volleyball teams put on a strong showing against Bailey in this week's games.  Our football teams have had some strong competitors.  But district games begin next week, and I am sure they will be ready.  (I am not the best photographer nor does my cell phone take great pictures.  If you ever have a great picture that you would like to add to my blog or tweets, just send it to me through email!)  

GMS Student Council application process begins next week.  The process is different this year in hopes of identifying students that actually want to be in the program.  Please look under the student council tab on the website to find specific information.  Applications are due October 5th.  

Next week we celebrate Custodian Appreciation Week.  If you see one one our wonderful custodians, please stop them and say thanks!

On Sunday, Sept. 27, a lunar eclipse will be visible in Austin. The "show" starts around 8 pm and should stop around 11. Please go outside and watch! This will be the last "supermoon" eclipse until 2033!   Here are some links to help you:
