GMS Falcon Update

Our annual flower sale is underway. In the past, we only sold poinsettias, but this year there are many more options. The sale helps raise funds for the 8th grade trip to Washington DC. Students currently in grades 6 and 7 can raise funds for their future trip. The plants are grown by Green and Growing Greenhouse (formerly David's Greenhouse) in Christiansburg. All students in grades 6 and 7 should have information home today.

Reminder to anyone who plans to do picture retakes, our retake day is not for another two weeks, but don't lose your order packet as you will need to return it for retakes if you choose. Anyone who was absent on picture day will have your picture taken on November 18th as well.

We still have additional order forms for those choosing to order photos in the office.

The Graham Athletic Boosters will host their annual Monte Carlo fundraiser on November 16th at the fairgrounds. Pre-Sale tickets are available at the Board office, from any Boosters member, or online via the following link: graham-athletic-boosters.square.site

**options to purchase tickets with or without dinner included.

The Scholastic Book Fair will be at GMS November 11-14 and available to students during their lunch/recess/intervention blocks. Any proceeds from the book fair go towards providing more books for teacher classroom libraries.

Visit our Book Fair homepage for more information, preview, shopping online, or setting up an e-wallet for your student: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/grahammiddle

** If you are a district approved volunteer and wish to help with book fair, please contact Mr. Guidera.

Students all have access to Progress Book via their Clever logins. Parents can access through the same login they would have used last year. Any new families should have received an access key on Friday via email from Mr. Guidera.

Frontline Education has released the Progress Book Parent and Student Mobile App (aka Parent Access app) to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. This app is available for your parents/students to download and use now. For those that choose to download, the app takes the place of the mobile web version of Parent Access that parents and students have long used. In addition, Frontline has produced an overview video that can be shared with your users.
