Today, we celebrate two special members of the Garrett Morgan family as they begin their well-earned retirements!

Mrs. Tess and Mrs. Mann have dedicated countless years to supporting, and caring for students and staff.

While we will certainly miss seeing them each day, we are so excited for them as they begin this new chapter.

Please join us in congratulating Mrs. Tess and Mrs. Mann on their retirement and thanking them for the lasting difference they have made in the lives of so many. ❤️💛💚

Obligatory staff last-day-of-school picture! 📸🎉

This morning, we welcomed back our graduating seniors as they walked the halls of GME one more time in their caps and gowns! 🎓

It was a special opportunity for teachers and students to reconnect, share memories, and catch up on all that has happened over the years. Current GME students lined the hallways, cheering on our seniors and imagining the day they’ll make that same walk themselves.

We are so proud of these graduates and all they have accomplished. ❤️💛💚

Garrett Morgan’s Field Day was SO MUCH FUN! ☀️

A huge thank you to Mrs. Canter for all of the planning, preparation, and long hours you poured into making this event so special for our students each year!

We also want to thank all of our amazing volunteers who helped make the day possible. Field Day could NOT happen without each and every one of you! 👏

Fourth Grade hit a HOME RUN with their field trip to the Lexington Legends yesterday! ⚾️

🎓 Seniors, we can’t wait to celebrate YOU at GME! 🎓

If you are a former GME student graduating this year, we invite you to come back and walk the halls one more time so we can celebrate your amazing accomplishment! 🎉
