From the Desk of Mr. Bonath
Good afternoon parents and guardians,
Friday, as part of our annual training and the GJPS Standard Response Protocol, GMSS practiced a Lockdown Drill. This communication is sent to serve as a notification that the drill was conducted following the district protocols. We review the Standard Responses Protocol throughout the year, practice the elements with support from the Gahanna Police Department, and always look to stay sharp through these practices.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

C3 (Character Counts Club)
POP TAB COLLECTION November 10 - January 9
Students and staff pop out and bring in your pop tabs. Collect the tabs during your family and friend gatherings over the Thanksgiving and winter break. Bring them into your homeroom from November to January. C3 will donate them to the Central Ohio chapter of the Ronald McDonald House. It’s an easy way to do something good and make a difference in the life of a seriously ill child. The winning homeroom of each grade level gets a popcorn party. The winner of each grade will get points toward survivors too.
