February 2024
Gaylord Middle School students competed January 31st and February 1st in our 2nd Annual Winter Olympics. There were 12 events which included snow sculptures, ultimate smore making competition, fake snow relay and many more. We had a great time with our students and some friendly competition. Thank you to all of our parent help. Mrs. Signorello's seminar class won for the 7th grade and Mrs. Eisen's seminar class won for the 8th grade. Be sure to check out Gaylord Schools' Facebook for more pictures of the Olympics.
