We love our cafeteria staff, and wanted to give them a special shout out today, which marks School-Lunch Superheroes Day!

Thank you Mrs. Bailey, Mr. Googins, and Mrs. Mason for everything you do to bring healthy meals to our hawks!

Every year, families bring in some perennial favorite books to have teachers sign for a graduation keepsake. We love this tradition!

However, we ask that if you plan to do this, you bring the books in by no later than Friday, May 29th. The sooner, the better! The end of the year is extremely busy and we don't want the books to get lost in the end-of-year shuffle. Thank you for your cooperation!

Meet the presenters...

At the end of the day dismissal, it is important to leave a gap in the line of cars so that the buses can get through and continue on their dismissal journey.

Thank you.

“All 7th grade students must have a current physical examination (completed in 2026) and proof of Tdap vaccination on file. Your child will NOT be able to participate in LMS sports teams without an updated physical on file. Once the required physical has been completed, please send in the After Visit Summary. If your child has an upcoming appointment this fall (Sept. - Dec.) for their physical, please provide the health office with the date of that appointment and a copy of the completed physical when done.”

For those of you who have already had your physical this year (2026) and have sent me the paperwork, you are all set.

SUMMER READING SUGGESTIONS

GVS Family Math Night was a great success! It was wonderful to see so many parents, grandparents, and caregivers interacting and playing math games with students and friends! We had 5 students win the Estimation Station and a lot of really close estimates! The board game raffle winners will be announced later today! A big shout out to all the staff that joined us for math night and a huge thank you to everyone who came and participated in Family Math Night!

The LAST Math Challenge of the year is available now! It is due Friday, May 8th! You can access the last challenge here!

Good news, there is another opportunity to support your favorite local school!

Hannaford Helps School is an easy way to support GVS simply by grocery shopping as you normally would. Just download the app in the QR code and anytime you purchase an item that is labeled with the ""Hannaford Helps Schools" label, you earn dollars for your child's school.

The program runs through June 21, 2026. Flyers went home with your student in their communications folders, or see the flyers attached for more information.
