Annually, the Ohio Middle Level Association (OMLA) West Region invites its member schools to send a delegation to their annual Student Leadership Conference. This year the event was held at Edison State Community College. While at the event students are honored for their contributions to the climate and culture of their schools, participate in various leadership skill sessions, and tour campus. Teachers in grade 6 and 7 had the opportunity to nominate students for this honor and skill building event.

The following students represented Graham Middle School:

6th graders Reese Barger & Jonathon Davenport, and 7th graders Saige Wilson & Josiah Spence.

Quarter 3 Report Cards will be given to students on Thursday, March 19th during Homeroom.

Also coming home are NWEA Map Progress reports, Falcon 5K Information, and Past Due Fees Notices.

During National School Breakfast Week, the GMS cafeteria staff held multiple raffles throughout their Hawaiian themed week. There were daily raffles for those who participated in breakfast, and at the conclusion of the week, grand prize winners were drawn from each grade level. Congratulations to Silas, Aaron, and Jagger!

Our final round of Conferences is scheduled for Thursday, March 19th from 3:30-7:00pm. Please contact any of your student's teachers, or the office to set up a conference.

The Graham Middle School Student Council and National Junior Honor Society are co-sponsoring an "Empty Bowls" Project. This event will benefit the local food pantry. Community members have the opportunity to purchase a bowl, that you will keep, and during the event you can receive unlimited soup and salad, along with specialty breads and desserts.

8th grade boys interested in playing high school soccer, starting this week, off-season workouts will be held on Mondays and Thursdays after school until 4pm. You would be welcome to ride a bus up to GHS and you will meet in the cafeteria.

Graham Middle School has 16 students set to compete in the National History Bee Ohio Regional Competition in Columbus on March 21st. These students met the initial qualifying criteria through online assessment and made the commitment to represent GMS at the next level.
