Congratulations to our GMS Student of the week! 6th grader, Trinity Alexander, is our winner. Mrs. Herrlein said, “Trinity is a hard working student. She is always raising her hand and she often is the leader in our classroom discussion. I am happy to hear from her everyday about how much she is reading and how excited she is to ready every day.” 📚

Just a reminder! HAT DAY is this FRIDAY thanks to GMS PTO 🥳 If your child would like to wear a hat to school on Friday, have them bring $1 to the GMS PTO ladies that will be set up in the cafeteria that morning. Your child will receive a stamp on their hand and be set! If your child is in athletics in the morning, they can go to the cafeteria before 2nd hour and still pay to wear a hat 👍
