We will miss you all and thank you for all you have done for so so many students!

Ms. Elias' study skills class wrapped up the last class by playing games for prizes and enjoying some well-deserved fun together. It was a great way to celebrate all of the hard work, growth, and memories they shared this year!

8th grade Science classes put those engineering skills to the test last week! They had to design, build, and launch rockets!

We also want to say thank you to our Speech Language Pathologist before the year ends! Thank you for all your support of GMS students!

As we wrap up the year, we don't want to forget to recognize and say thank you to our building sub! She has been a huge help to GMS this year!

The staff gave a huge shout-out to Ms. Hollas for all the awesome work she did making staff appreciation gifts this year with the new sublimation equipment added to the Skilled Trades class! She personalized mugs, bags, bookmarks, license plates, and more!

Kona Ice is the perfect treat for a cold day, right? GMS students didn't seem to mind! Those who had perfect attendance during state assessments were treated to a sno cone after lunch today!

Circle of Friends had a great time on their last outing together! They had a picnic lunch, played games, and enjoyed Mrs. Cole's sno cones!
