Halloween may be over, but can we still take a moment to recognize this amazing group costume from the GMS staff? Mr. Jones as Gru and teachers as his Minions is just too good 😂 We have fun 😂 #LionPride
To wrap up Red Ribbon Week, our students had the incredible experience of watching local law enforcement K9 units in action! Officers introduced their highly trained K9 partners and demonstrated how these amazing dogs help protect our community by tracking contraband and keeping schools safe.
What an amazing display of dedication, teamwork, and trust between officers and their K9s as they work together to prevent drug abuse. A huge thank you to our law enforcement partners for helping us make this Red Ribbon Week one to remember! ❤️

Red Ribbon Week kicked off with a show that was out of this world! Next Gen Assemblies shared songs and messages about anti-bullying, suicide prevention, and the dangers of drugs and vaping. Next Gen considers all students MVPs, because they all Matter, have Value, and have Purpose.
Students in Mrs. Wegner and Mrs. Elrod's 7th grade English classes just finished reading the timeless classic, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. At the conclusion of the novel students had the opportunity to dress up as either a Soc or Greaser. Stay Gold Lions! #LionPride
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton follows the struggles of two rival groups, the Greasers and the Socs, as they navigate the challenges of adolescence, family, and social class in 1960s America. The Socs are wealthy, privileged youths who often display a carefree attitude but hide their own insecurities and emotional struggles beneath their cool exterior. The Greasers are a group of working-class boys who embrace their rough image and loyalty to each other, often facing prejudice and hardship from society due to their socioeconomic status. The story is told through the eyes of Ponyboy Curtis, a young Greaser who finds himself caught in a violent conflict that forces him to confront issues of identity and belonging. It is considered a classic due to its authentic portrayal of teenage angst and social divides, resonating with readers across generations.
October 21st through the 25th is School Bus Safety Week! 🚌 🛑
School safety starts at the bus stop. Share these tips with your children:
⌚ Arrive at the bus stop five minutes early.
🚏 Stand five giant steps away from the curb.
🚌 Wait until the bus stops, the door opens, and the driver says it’s okay before stepping onto the bus.
Thank you for working together to keep kids safe! Thank you to our transportation staff for their diligence and service!
Mr. Leach dropped a new science experiment this week... Literally! Students were challenged to design structures to protect eggs from a fall, prompting them to think creatively and critically. The design tests even involved a scissor lift for higher elevation than ever before. Smaller experiments earlier showed that not every design worked as intended, so each group adapted and improved on their designs for this ultimate test. Mr. Leach showed students how resilience and iteration are part of learning and the scientific method.
