Our 8th-grade science students made mouse trap race cars in Mr. Leach's class! They went to the gym and let them loose! The farthest recorded distance was 67 ft. All with some dowel rods, glue, rulers, CDs, string, and a mouse trap. Pretty impressive!

Congratulations to our Student Spotlight of the Week, Hayden Heller π Mr. Leach said "In my five years at GMS I have had many exceptional science students, but Hayden is proving to be one of the best students I have ever had. Hayden is smart, laser-focused, and works hard. He is also talented at the engineering aspect of our class and has shown his talents already with constructing objects such as our rocket for the rocket launch. He has shown an ability to think outside the box with our labs and projects. Hayden is an outstanding young man and I predict he will be successful in anything he chooses to do." π Tune in after Thanksgiving Break to see who our next Student Spotlight will be π

Yesterday, Mr. Boyd's computer science classes tried to crack the code on the microbits he coded! Students had to think outside of the box and do certain steps to get the microbit to sing a tune. Some of the steps included flipping the microbit over, turning it left/right, letting it freefall, and yelling at it π

Congratulations to our Student Spotlight of the Week, Emma Truman π Mrs. Rhea said, "Emma is always on task and helps others at her table group when they don't understand. She is so awesome!!!"
