Happy Friday Wolf Pack Families!

What a great week! Congratulations to our 8th grade students will be moving on to High School next year. I am so proud of their accomplishments and the incredible leadership that they have shown as a group this year. Our 8th grade celebration was a huge success and it was so nice to see so many of our families at the event. The 8th grade "Hollywood" dance was so much fun and I am grateful for the help from our PTSA and our counselors Mrs. Rutherford and Mrs Hart for their work behind the scences to make it so special.

I am wishing all of our Wolf Pack a fantastic summer. I hope that you will find time to relax, rejuvenate and spend time doing the things that make you happy! I will see many of you at our Geisler Get Going Registration on August 20.

Sincerely,

Stuart Riley

Principal, Geisler Middle School
