We finished our math MAP testing this morning and will schedule make-up tests next week. The MAP reports will be uploaded into Infinite Campus with the report cards on June 6th.




Golf in PE this week!  The First Tee - Greater Chicago chapter visited our students in PE classes Monday through Wednesday to teach them how to play golf. Each day they learned a new skill like putting, chipping, and full swing, played fun games, and heard about different careers in golf and caddying opportunities in the area that they can start at age 12.  Many kids had never been exposed to golf and there was a lot of interest afterward!  If your child is interested in learning more about playing golf or caddying opportunities, please reach out to Mr. Atwood or Ms. Vojack! 



Congratulations to our Boys' JV and Varsity Volleyball teams on completing their seasons last Saturday!  Our Girls' JV and Varsity Soccer teams completed their season on Wednesday.  The Varsity girls finished in a heartbreaking loss for the championship. They played their hearts out under the lights at Niles West.  Great job to all of our Cardinal athletes and coaches for finishing strong and representing GMS and District 67 in such positive ways! 




NEXT WEEK:




8th Grade - This is the last SEVEN DAYS of school for our graduating class (whoa!) and they are busy preparing for their finals and activities to celebrate their time at Golf.

🏀 ♥️ ⚽️ ♥️ 🏐  GMS Sports Section  🏐 ♥️ ⚽️ ♥️ 🏀

Most sports are for students in 7th (JV) and 8th (Varsity) grades.  For some sports, we offer opportunities to the 6th graders. That depends on the interest at the 7th and 8th-grade levels. 

IF you have a child who is planning on trying out for one of the seasons below next year, he/she 

MUST have a current sports physical on file in the nurse's office.  

PLEASE DO NOT WAIT.  A student cannot try out without a current physical on file.
