At the beginning of last month, our students went head to head in a Penny War! 💰Overall, 7th grade took the W 👏 Way to go, GMS, on raising OVER $400 for Make-A-Wish!
Before Spring Break, this select group of 8th graders tackled a BIG experiment! Under Mr. Leach's guidance, these young scientists took on a high-school-level microbiology unit that took over a week to complete. Students used the organism, escherichia coli, and watched it maintain or even grow with certain variables introduced. 🧪
A HUGE THANK YOU to Mr. Leach. He saw a want in these students to continue and push their knowledge, therefore he took his prep periods to do this week-long process. We have the BEST educators! 🧡
Students in Mrs. Youngblood’s KeyCode classes took apart old desktops and Chromebooks to help them visually understand how the computer works. They loved breaking them apart and fought over whose turn it was! 💻
