Students in Mrs. Reedy World Culture class completing their island research project.

Students in Ms. Mielk's class completed projects on selling a country.
 Last week I posted self-portraits for second-year art students.  This is from 6th grader!  Mrs. Grizzle says even I could do it - obviously, she hasn't had me in class.  

8th graders are attending a career fair on Monday.  

PAWS for Fun is Tuesday for 7th graders, Wednesday for 8th graders, and Thursday for 6th graders.  This is a celebration for students who complete all their work, have good attendance and behave appropriately.  

Next week is also Basketball tournaments, 

Have a great weekend.

One of the fun things about watching basketball is observing the student body, especially when the game is close.  

 If you just look at this picture, it seems like a bunch of dance shoes.  What you don't know is that I had just walked through the commons and all the dancers were there stretching.  A few seconds later when I came back through, this is all I saw.  I thought for sure our dancers had been snatched by aliens!

I am always so impressed when I visit our Woodshop class. The students know how to use all the tools and even which tools to use to get the outcome they want.  Gumball machines should be ready soon. 


GMS HS Art I students visited Blanton Museum again today.  I love that they are able to participate in the Social Justice conversation through the lens of art.

2020 Vision and Voice Winners
GMS had several winners:  Harrison A., Izzy B., Daniel A., and Collin J.  Check out the website to read their stories. http://k12.visionandvoice.org/ 

Unfortunately, GMS Tigers are having a difficult time cleaning up after they eat.  If you could help us remind students about throwing away their trash that would be great.


A couple of reminders:  
Make sure you register your child for the next school year.  This must be completed every year.   
Students qualifying for NJHS have been posted.  If your child is interested please go to:
