9/12
Emmy Hawks - GMS Volleyball
Emmy is a 7th grader at GMS and currently a member of the GMS Volleyball Team. MS Volleyball had three games this week, and they stacked up three wins! They are off to a hot start and Emmy, as a setter, has played a primary role in that. Her coach said that "she has been seeing the court really well and finding open spots and open people to set at the right times. This past Tuesday vs Scott Memorial she had a run of 10 straight service points.
Timmy Jordan - GMS Cross Country
Timmy is an 8th grader at GMS and currently a member of the GMS Cross Country Team. The Middle School XC team headed to Salem this past Saturday to run amongst 830 fellow participants. Timmy placed 82nd overall and 72nd amongst middle school boys. Timmy and the cross country team followed that performance up with another meet this past Wednesday at Graham. The MS Boys placed 2nd, the MS Girls placed 3rd, and Timmy placed 2nd overall!

Lifeguards
Teachers and Staff - a sheet has been shared with you that includes the names of students who are playing fall sports, their grade level, their coach, and their coach's contact info. If you feel contacting a coach about a student-athlete's behavior or performance in the classroom is necessary, please don't hesitate to do so. There has also been a gate duty sign-up sheet shared with you for the school year. If you work 4 gates, you earn a family pass or CYOW. If you work 8 gates, you get both!
Coaches - Please submit summaries and pictures of teams and/or individuals to georgeedmondson@galaxschools.us so that we can recognize those accomplishments. Please continue to not allow any student athletes to participate in games/meets/matches until they turn in their signed handbook page. In addition, please do not allow them to participate in any activity (practice or play) until you have a copy of their current VHSL physical.
Parents - Please return the signed athletic handbook form as soon as possible so we can get these student athletes on the court/field with their teams to wash out the competition. Please let us know if your student-athlete has participated and/or excelled in any athletics outside of school that we can recognize.
