From the Desk of Ms. Murdock

Hello GMSS families,


As we near the end of February, I hope your children are sharing the many activities and learning happening at GMSS to recognize and celebrate Black History Month.

We were blessed by an assembly on Friday which was a collaboration of our Drama club and OSU. The theme of how we are standing on the shoulders of those paving the way, along with great drum music and dancers. Our students loved the presentation.


Classroom teachers are diving into poetry, readings, writings and presenting, as the theme this month is the arts. Please ask your students about the learning.


Students!!! We need to continue working on preparation for the days. Often we are not seeing charged chrome books and many students do not bring pencils or paper. Please help your children work on increasing this responsibility. This is incredibly important as we are moving toward state testing. We do not have loaner chrome books or chargers.


Tomorrow our students that signed up are playing in the Dodgeball from 3:30 - 5:00PM!


Have a fabulous week!

BUSES

As a reminder, please know the time of your student's bus stop. We are happy to offer Here Comes the Bus as an aide for parents tracking their student's bus, but there may be some times when the app is not exact. We certainly do not want students to miss the bus, so please be sure your student is at their stop at the scheduled time. To remind yourself of your pickup time, visit our Transfinder page.


HEART & PRIDE

The Heart & Pride Nomination Form will remain available year-round and is open to any member of our staff, regardless of position.
