Gray's Creek Middle School

To help families prepare for the upcoming school year, we are providing a general supply list of items that all students will need regardless of grade level or team assignment.

Please note that individual teachers may have additional or specific supply requests based on the needs of their subject. These classroom-specific supply lists will be shared during Open House and/or by your child's teachers at the beginning of the school year.

By providing a general list now, our goal is to help families avoid purchasing large quantities of supplies that may not be needed by their child's specific teachers or team.

Thank you for your support as we prepare for a successful school year!

Some people teach lessons from a textbook. Others teach lessons that last a lifetime.

This year, we honor three incredible educators—Mrs. Dunham, Mrs. Ghent, and Mrs. Mandjiny—as they retire after years of dedicated service to our students, families, and school community.

Through countless school days, celebrations, challenges, and milestones, they have been a source of encouragement, wisdom, and unwavering support. They have inspired generations of students to believe in themselves, pursue their dreams, and reach their full potential. Their impact extends far beyond the classroom walls and will continue to be felt for years to come.

While it is difficult to imagine our school without them, we are deeply grateful for the passion, care, and commitment they have shared throughout their careers. The lives they have touched and the difference they have made cannot be measured.

Please join us in celebrating these remarkable educators and thanking them for the lasting legacy they leave behind. We wish them all the joy, relaxation, and new adventures that retirement brings—they have certainly earned it.

❤️ Thank you for everything, and congratulations on your retirement.
