GMS began the week with a visit from Author Kenneth Oppel.  The students enjoyed listening to him share his stories.



Did you know that we have a few English Language Learners using Rosetta Stone?  On Monday, I was able to present an award to one of the students in Mrs. Law's reading class who had completed the most hours this past six weeks.

As I walked classes this week, I saw some great interactive learning from our 8th grade Social Studies classes with Mr. Martin and Mr. Branham.  I think there classes are in for some interesting learning next week.

Because it was the end of the six weeks, there was some celebrations happening.  Here are some of the outstanding students on team 6-3.
As I mentioned last week, our PALS students attended a Ropes Course this week.


Next week we are celebrating Homecoming.  To support our football and volleyball teams, we are going to wear school shirts all week.  There is a pep rally, sorry it's just for students, on Tuesday.  That night there is a football game at Burger Stadium.  Stop by Burgerfi first for our Spirit Night and then head over to the stadium.  The cheerleaders and football parents will be having their own tailgating there.  The volleyball teams are in the playoffs.  Wednesday the 7th graders will play at O'Henry and the 8th graders play here on Thursday.  We wish you the best of luck athletes!

With all the excitement next week, I am glad Monday is a student holiday.  We will see you back here on Tuesday.  

Have a great long weekend!
