From the Desk of Ms. Murdock

Good afternoon GMSS families,

A reminder that there is no school for students tomorrow (Friday, 2/14) and Monday (2/17). I hope you enjoy the long weekend. When we return, we have just 14 days until the end of the 3rd quarter! There is time to finish strong.


Yearbook sales: Yearbooks will be on sale until Feb 28. Price: $28.00.

Use this link to order online, or look for a flyer next week. We do not have extra yearbooks once we place the order! They are delivered in the spring - so please order if you would like one.
