GMS Weekly Newsletter

Happy Friday Wolf Pack Families!

What a great week! Our 6th grade Vocal Music students performed on Tuesday along with choirs from Walnut Creek and WL Western. 6/7/8 grade Orchestra students performed on Wednesday evening. I was at both performances and I was so impressed with the quality of the performances. Special thanks to Mr. Danner and Ms. Burdek for the work they put in to get our students so well prepared to perform at such a high level. Next Monday is our final performance of the year with our 6/7/8 Bands.

On Thursday, we had many of our track athletes compete at the Oakland County Track Meet. So proud of all of all the athletes who competed and grateful for our amazing coaches.

I can't believe that next week is the LAST week of school! Please speak to your student about finishing the year strong and giving their best all the way until Friday afternoon. Thank you for all of your support!

Wishing you all a great weekend!

Sincerely,

Stuart Riley

Principal, Geisler Middle School
