6th grade science students participated in the decade-long tradition... THE EGG DROP!
Celebrate! Egg Drop: 6th grade science students participated in the decade-long tradition... THE EGG DROP! This year, students could only use materials from their recycling bin; materials that were Ecomaine approved. Close to 50% of students made successful devices! The lobby was filled with smiles, success and... smells.

The students in Mrs. Gervais' and Mrs. Hinckley’s 5th grade classes are excited to be working on a service learning project. Socktober was created to raise awareness about homelessness and provide an opportunity to supply people in need with their number one needed item - socks. During the month of October these two classes will be collecting socks (new) and hats, mittens, gloves (can be new or gently used) which will then be delivered to Maine Needs, a local Maine organization that will coordinate distribution of the items to Maine residents in need. We appreciate any donations (both kid- and adult-sized) for this project. There will be donation boxes in all 4-5 classrooms or you can leave items in the GMS office. Thank you for your support.
