Over the summer, the district participated in a summer reading challenge. GMS had several top students in the district. Two of our 6th and 7th graders were among the top 30 students in the district who read the most books. Congratulations to these students.
As I mentioned previously, the cafeteria is still under going changes. Last night there was an accident at the food warehouse, so menus will be different next week again. As soon as the menu becomes consistent, I will let you know.
Next week, the PTA is hosting the first student event of the year. It is the annual 6th grade Glow Dance. If you would like to help, please see the PTA website. While you are there, please join. The GMS PTA supports the school in so many ways. http://www.tigerpta.org/
The 8th grade PALS are hosting a school-wide t-shirt contest. This t-shirt will represent the school and be available for anyone to purchase - parents, students, staff through the PTA. To enter the contest, student should draw an 8.5 x 11 inch design. The design must include either the letters GMS or the school name spelled out. The design must be in one color. It must be an ORIGINAL hand-drawn or computer generated image! Students should NOT put their name on their artwork!!! Submissions for the contest are due to Mrs. Sindt in room 804 by 3:45 Tuesday, Sept. 13th. Voting will be school-wide on Sept. 16th during EXCEL after all submissions have been displayed for everyone to see. If you have questions, please contact Mrs. Sindt.
There are lots of events happening next week: football, volleyball, band jamboree, and the 6th grade social. Hope to see you there.
Have a great weekend.
