The Educational Service Center of Central Ohio is conducting a career review audit in Gahanna Jefferson Public Schools—any insight you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
The GMSE PTA is extending the due date for ONLINE donations. Credit card donations can now be collected through April 5th. In an effort to make up for broken QR code links, power and internet outages, and just plain middle school family distractions, we are allowing donations made through Zeffy to continue to count toward student Fitness Fundraiser incentives through April 5th. Follow this link: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/peer-to-peer/2026-gmse-fitness-fundraiser
We now have over 40 raffle prizes to give away at the Fitness Fundraiser awards assembly! Remember, you can earn raffle tickets by donating at least $25 or purchasing tickets with house points through the House store.
We thank everyone for your support of the PTA’s annual fundraiser. Every in-kind prize donation, monetary contribution, corporate match, and shared Zeffy link brings us closer to our shared goal of raising $40,000 for our school’s Parent-Teacher Association.
Money raised during the Fitness Fundraiser allows the GMSE PTA to support our students and staff all year. The PTA pays for incentive items that students can “purchase” in the house store each week using the house points they earn by meeting and exceeding behavioral and academic expectations. We also use donated funds to enhance the middle school curriculum when a teacher or teaching team finds a project, guest teacher, or field trip that will create a new type of learning experience for our children. The PTA shows all of our gratitude by providing treats and meals to teachers and staff to improve the workplace for our magnificent educators and all those who contribute to a healthy, happy school community. And so much more…

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!
