DC Trip: Mission Accomplished. The GMS 8th Grade closed out their history tour by conquering Gettysburg (and presumably several gift shops). After four days of non-stop learning and memorial viewing, we are pleased to confirm they are heading home—and are officially qualified to sleep for 48 straight hours. Prepare for tales of battlefield bravery and the immediate collapse of one small suitcase. 😴 🏠 #GMSHomecoming #TheySurvived #GMSinDCc
Day 3 in DC: GMS students saw the White House (it was super secured because Zelenskyy was in town!) but the real headline of DC Day 3 is how fast these GMS students can drain a street vendor's supply of pink hats. At least they're easy to spot in a crowd! 😂 More pics to come later! #GMSinDC
Washington D.C. Day 2 was a major win for our GMS 8th graders! 🏛️ They explored the grandeur of the Capitol Building and Cathedral before heading to the Pentagon 9/11 Memorial. The highlight? Hearing a powerful, emotional survivor's account from a man who was there. Talk about a history lesson you can't get in a book! So proud of how our students showed respect and engagement. What a day! 🌟 #GMSinDC
GMS 8th Grade, Day 1: From the back seat of a bus to the battlefields of Gettysburg! After that long drive, they're already considering a strategic retreat... to the nearest snack machine. 🚌🇺🇸 We can't wait to follow along on their Washington DC adventures! #GMSinDC #GettysburgBound #HistoryRocks

Students in Mr. Bohl’s sixth grade science class have been working on their soil unit. As part of the unit, they created edible soil layers to represent the actual soil. The best part was eating the soil and worms when they were finished!
🎶 Swifties, snacks, and Singo—oh my!
Thanks to Mrs. Slagle and Ms. Carrie, the GMS library was turned into the ultimate Taylor Swift listening lounge. Students who participated in the recent library scavenger hunt got their shot at the party of the year when they were entered into a lottery drawing to attend the bash! Overall the party, students, and album were a hit! 💿✨
There’s nothing like the joy of simple moments. Riding in the gator with Coach Slagle is the highlight of 6th grade GMS student, Faize’s day! Coach even bought Faize the red hat to keep him safe from the sun!
Peer mentoring groups started at GMS today! Peer mentoring groups are designed to bring students together in a supportive environment, where positive relationships can grow. These groups create important, social bonds between children with special needs and their peers helping foster understanding, inclusion and friendship. The focus of peer mentoring is on developing a growth mindset, building, motivation, and strengthening social responsibility. Groups meet regularly during the week providing consistent opportunities for connection and growth. During each session, students participate in team-building activities, games and guided social interactions. These experiences not only encourage collaboration and problem-solving but also help students practice essential social skills in a fun, engaging way. Ultimately, peer mentoring groups promote acceptance, empathy, and a stronger school community.
GMS students in Mrs. Kallmeyer’s and Mr. Hines’ classes had a blast today experimenting with chemical reactions! With a little mixing and a lot of curiosity, they created some fun foaming explosions while learning about the science behind it all.
GMS Sources of Strength started their fall campaign with “Fall in a mug” Apple cider sales. Every Friday, until Halloween, during tribe students can purchase a glass of Apple cider for $1! SOS funds go directly to fun swag for students!
