Thank You for a Wonderful Veterans Day Celebration
Thank you to everyone who helped make our Veterans Day celebration at GMSE so meaningful. Our students were outstanding audience members. They were respectful, attentive, and truly engaged throughout the program. We are incredibly grateful to our veterans for their service, sacrifice, and commitment to our country. Your presence made the day special, and we are honored to recognize and celebrate you.
Good Afternoon MSE families,
We’ve recently noticed some students engaging in what’s called “rage baiting” or intentionally trying to get a strong emotional reaction from others, often as a joke, either at school or in group chats. While some students see it as harmless fun, it often leads to hurt feelings, damaged friendships, and consequences at school. We discussed this directly during our recent quarterly reset meetings with some grade levels, but we also want parents to be aware. Please take a moment to talk with your kids about the impact of their words, the importance of using social media and group messages responsibly, and the impact that rage baiting might have on friendships. We are definitely seeing and hearing an uptick in this at MSE.
Take care,
Megan Kirsten
Principal, GMSE

We’re always looking for ways to connect classroom learning to the real world or allow students to explore the future—and we’d love your help! If you're open to sharing your job title and a brief description of what you do, we’d love to learn more. We’re gathering a list of parents and guardians who might be interested in speaking to students about their careers, allowing students to shadow for a day, or participating in a future career fair.
If this sounds like something you'd consider, please take a moment to fill out this quick google form. Thank you for helping our students dream big!
