The GMS Journalism department has received huge recognition.  The department received statewide and individual awards known as ILPC.  Congratulations to Ms. Shirack and her Journalism students.

• Gnasher News received their first Gold Star, the highest honor.
• The 2016 Yearbook received a Silver Star, highest honor for middle schools.  It also received a Gold Crown from CSPA, the highest national award.  
• Digit.Press and Digit Newspaper each received Bronze Stars.  GMS was the only middle school receiving this award.
• GMS also received 86 individual awards

There was lots of learning happening in classes this week.  Mrs. Juettner's class is studying the Outsiders.  Who knew there were so many front covers...

Mr. Howard's class is in the middle of their Robot challenge.  Some of the parts students created from the 3D printer!

After 8 years, GMS students will finally be able to order their school supplies online.  We are trying to roll this out within the next week or so.  More information to follow and a huge thank you to parent Renae D. for organizing all the teacher lists!

This is just a reminder that the school does not accept food delivers.  If you would like to bring lunch to your child that is accepted.  Having Pizza Hut, for example, deliver pizza for lunch is not.

Some of our 8th grade students will be taking the Algebra EOC next week.  Visitors are not allowed on campus that day.

Next week is also Teacher Appreciation week.  The PALS program will be selling flowers during lunch if students would like to purchase them for their teachers.

My last Principal Coffee is Friday May 5th hope to see you there.

Have a great last April weekend.
