Hello GMSS families,
A reminder that students are out of school on Monday, September 23rd as teachers will be in professional development. Enjoy the 3 day weekend.
As you know our Color Splash Fundraiser is next Friday, September 27th! Please continue to make donations using https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=BXU42BWWH8SFA&scrlybrkr=faf89aad
In addition- students can purchase swag in lunches from $1- $10 all next week. Items include Leis, sunglasses, headbands and tutus to be worn on Friday! All students will be participating in the game day, but all do not have to join in the color throwing! In addition, only students with a minimum of a $5.00 donation will get color packets. Thank you in advance for your support!
Parent teacher conference links went out! We know that 6th grade links are full. Please email Mrs. Hensler if you cannot schedule and she will begin a wait list. Additionally, if you cannot keep your appointment, please let us know so that we can offer the time to others.
Have a fabulous weekend!
Robin Murdock
From the desk of Mr. Bonath
Hello South Families! We are pleased to announce our clubs and activities available to students - if you have any questions about a club, please reach out to Ms. Bonath [bonatha@gjps.org] or the advisor for each club. See the chart for available times and dates of meetings!
Each week I will share about a way that we recognize students at GMSS - This week’s student recognition update: Academic Award - Rocky Balboa! At the conclusion of each quarter, students who have moved up at least one grade letter in any subject and not dropped in any other receive this award. Students are recognized in several ways - a chromebook sticker is given out to each winner, their names are broadcast in our main lobby in the Academic Hall of Fame, they receive Survivor Team points, and we send a certificate home. Stay tuned for more, next week!
