Principal's Message
Dear GTMS Families,
Although the month of March may appear quiet, get ready for an explosion of talent on stage as our GTMS Drama Club presents "Seussical the Musical"! Our dedicated advisors, Mr. Conover and Ms. Paton, have been tirelessly working with our students to ensure a spectacular show. From Horton to the Cat in the Hat, our cast is ready to bring the whimsical world of Dr. Seuss to life. Be sure to mark your calendars and come support our students as they showcase their incredible talents. See you at the show!
Warm regards,
Paula Junker

Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office
The Atlantic County Prosecutor, William E. Reynolds, spoke to the 8th grade students about making good decisions and the consequences you may face if you don't. He gave real life examples of people who could've had a good future but did not make it to their goals because of some poor choices that were made. The students enjoyed a Q&A with Mr. Reynolds.
The Atlantic County Prosecutors Office teamed up with GTMS to provide a presentation to the 7th grade on Internet Safety. They provided insights and videos to help educate children on how to use the internet safely and touched on the dangers that exist out there in the cyberworld. Furthermore, they discussed on how to leave a positive digital footprint on all of their devices as it signifies a good online reputation that lets a person expand their social network and achieve career goals. They also informed the students that even after something is deleted, it is never truly deleted for good.

Harassments, Intimidation & Bullying (HIB)
It is imperative that we continue to teach our students the effects that bullying has on others and a community. Every student deserves a safe and supportive learning environment, free from fear and harassment. Any instance of bullying should be promptly reported to the administration or staff member, who will take immediate and appropriate action to address the situation. By fostering a culture of kindness, empathy, and respect, we can create a school community where all students feel valued and accepted.
