This Week at GMSS

From the Desk of Ms. Murdock

Hello GMSS families,

What a wonderful week leading up to the holiday break. It is during these times that we are reminded of the kindness and spirit our children have. I hope that you all enjoy the break with family and friends and return feeling rested and ready to set goals for the second half of the school year.

Soon after we return, we will begin scheduling our 8th grade students for High school and our 7th grade students for possible HS foreign language classes. High school counselors will be in the building January 8, 2025 to share high school scheduling information. In addition, 8th grade parent night on January 9th in the GLHS auditorium, starting at 6:30 PM.

Have a safe and happy break and STAY warm!

Have a great weekend
