Dear GMS Families,


As the seasons begin to change, it's a great time to reflect on how far we've come and the importance of finishing the 9 weeks strong. Let’s encourage our students to stay focused and push through to the end with determination and pride. We also invite you to come out and support our student athletes as they celebrate 8th grade nights. Your presence and support mean the world to our Greene Devil Family.


Let’s finish this season strong together!



Go Devils!


Sincerely,
GMS Admin Team
