NJ School Boards 8th Grade Dialogue!
Anthony Marmo, our Student Council President, proudly represented GTMS at the New Jersey School Boards 8th Grade Dialogue. Alongside students from neighboring middle schools, he engaged in meaningful conversations on important topics such as AI, cell phone use, and future goals.
We are incredibly proud of Anthony and the way he represented our school community with thoughtfulness, confidence, and pride! 🌟
GTMS Student Council Explores State Government
Our Student Council members had an incredible opportunity to visit the Trenton State House, where they experienced government in action! 🏛️ Students explored the historic building, learned about how laws are made, and even had the chance to see where important decisions for our state take place. This trip brought their learning to life and inspired thoughtful conversations about leadership, civic responsibility, and the role they can play in their communities.
Adaptation Island
Mrs. Mohr-Murphy’s 8th grade science classes created an “adaptation island” by designing creatures that combined traits from four organisms and their defenses, ensuring each model accurately represented a species, and then brought them to life with Play-Doh. Be sure to visit her classroom to see their incredible island creations!

At GTMS, being a Grizzly means more than just showing up to school—it’s about embodying our core values and “Respecting the Paw” in everything we do.
So, what does that look like?
