👶🥚 Meet Our Newest “Students”… the Egg Babies! 🥚👶
Recently, our 8th graders took on a crackin’ new challenge—becoming parents (to eggs! 😄). Each student was given an “egg baby” to care for throughout the week as part of our lesson on responsibility and the realities of parenting/babysitting.
From creating cozy “nurseries” to carefully transporting their fragile little ones from class to class, students learned firsthand that taking care of another life—no matter how small—takes planning, patience, and a lot of attention! 🐣✨

🎶 A Milestone Moment for GMS Band 🎶
The GMS Band was honored to commission an original piece of music in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Grafton School Complex. This special work was written just for our students by Randall D. Standridge and performed on May 7, marking a meaningful moment in our school’s history.
What a powerful way to honor three decades of learning, growth, and community through music. We are proud of our musicians and grateful to the composer who helped bring this celebration to life!

🍎✨ Teacher Appreciation Week = time to relax!
Today our teachers enjoyed a well‑deserved pause with gentle chair exercises, restorative breathing, and a deeply calming sound bath led by instructor Leigh Lincoln. A moment to reset, recharge, and feel appreciated—because caring for others starts with caring for yourself. 💛
