Help us make the first GMS Fall Festival celebration a success!
We are asking each advisory class to donate items for the Fall Festival. The advisory classes that participate will win prizes. Some of the specific items we need are:
Cake Walk Items: cakes, pies, cookies, and other desserts (store bought and sealed in original containers)
Caramel Apple Booth Items: chocolate chips, sprinkles, etc. (store bought and sealed in original containers)
Each advisory class will have a BINGO card that can be filled once items are brought in. We will be offering Ice Cream Float day, recess during advisory, and other prizes.
We will start collecting the items on the 22nd and will continue through the 27th.
Thank you for helping to support and celebrate the greatness of our Pirates!
Pirate Party and Pep Rally - What a Way to Celebrate Our Pirates
Thank you to our students, staff, and PTO for making our first Pirate Party a success. A pep rally and a party all in one day - what a way to celebrate our pirates! Stay tuned for more about the next six-weeks' Pirate Party and remind your students how important their attendance, academics, and behavior are to their success...and they absolutely do not want to miss out on all of the celebratory fun!
Building Strong Pirates & Community through Advisory Time
During next week's advisory time, students will be reflecting and talking about the power of their words. As adults, we know the power of words and the lasting impact they can have - whether good or bad. We want our students to choose their words wisely and use them to build one another up instead of tearing each other down. Whether spoken in person, or typed on social media, the words we choose to put out there cannot be taken back. Please talk with your child at home about the impact of their words and encourage them to share when they are impacted by words that hurt.
What else happens in Advisory?
Students spend 30 minutes each day in Advisory. This time is used for things like building community and character, growing as readers, getting organized for success, and receiving targeted instruction to meet students' academic needs. This is just one of the ways we empower students today for post-secondary success tomorrow!
