Goshen Middle School

GMS peer mentoring students in action in Mr. Hines tribe. Playing board games together is a great way to make new friends!

Today it finally happened! What a paw-some treat! All 3 of Goshen Local School’s Facility Dogs met in person for the first time for a photo shoot! We are so lucky to have such an amazing program to offer our students extra support throughout the day! 🐾 #facilitydog #circletail

On Friday, GMS students in the “Yale” house enjoyed a well-deserved reward field trip to the movies! At GMS, every “tribe” is part of a house, and each quarter, the houses compete to earn points toward an exciting reward. Points are based on GPA, attendance, positive behavior, GMS postcards, and school competitions. Congratulations to the Yale house for taking home the first-quarter win! Who will earn the second-quarter reward? We can’t wait to find out! Keep up the great work, GMS!

Today, GMS students in Ms. Whitley's Coffee Club enjoyed a warm, cozy time together, decorating their drinks with toppings and having fun with friends. What a great way to kick off the day with creativity and connection!

GMS teacher, Missy Mirus, was able to purchase a new tetherball pole for her classroom due to the generosity of the Harold Tucker Memorial fund. Mrs. Mirus says. "To some I know this may sound crazy to have within a classroom setting, however, this will be used in a multitude of ways for our students. We have several students that struggle with social skills, turn taking, motor skills, sensory processing and handling emotions appropriately. By having this piece of equipment in our room, we will now be able to have another avenue to help meet those needs. Sometimes you have to be creative and think outside of the box when incorporating new ideas into a classroom setting. The positivity, bonds and friendships this will promote within our classroom will be priceless. I wish all of you could experience the smiles and laughter I have seen and heard today as our kids and staff members have been able to experience with our new tetherball pole. We are forever grateful for the Tucker family and the generosity of all who contributed to his memorial fund in his honor. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your generosity and kindness. It means the world to myself and our kids. I couldn’t be more proud of be a Warrior! ❤️"

GMS students in Mr. Bohl’s science classes tried a new strategy today to learn about how a sedimentary rock is formed. Instead of just reading the text, the students had to cut into 19 random strips to put together correctly. They then had to apply correct capitalization and punctuation. The focus and discussion were awesome throughout the day!

GMS is proudly honoring Veterans Day with a special display—a wall filled with photos of veterans submitted by our students and staff. This tribute is a wonderful way for our school community to recognize and appreciate the sacrifices made by veterans. Thank you to all who have served!

Goshen Local Schools would like to extend a huge thank you to Randi Rico from WLWT Channel 5 for providing an unforgettable experience to our Warrior Watch news team and GMS weather reporter, Chance Lebanz. This studio tour gave our students a real, hands-on look at what goes into a career in broadcast media! Chance even had the opportunity to step in front of the green screen and try out a weather report! The Warrior Watch team practiced reading from a teleprompter in the anchor chairs and got an up-close look at the production area where all the behind-the-scenes magic happens. A special thank you to Mr. Dietrich and Mrs. Dorazio for accompanying our students on this amazing adventure and to Mrs. Mirus for organizing it all! This kind of opportunity inspires our students and shows them the exciting paths they can pursue. 💙 #wlwt5 #warriorup

GMS students in Mrs. Clark's life skills class prepared and interviewed for job positions in the school. What a great way to practice these essential skills!

GMS Peer Mentoring Groups are back! Peer Mentoring Groups are groups of students with all ability levels. These students work on team building activities and play games together. The goal of Peer Mentoring Groups is to help form positive relationships and promote inclusivity throughout the educational learning environment. These groups have been extremely positive in helping form life long friendships with students of all ability levels. We are so incredibly proud of all of our Warriors!

GMS students in Mr. Emerine’s Automation and Robotics classes designed and built robotic dragsters, and competed in a race in the gym.

Mrs. Mirus's classroom at GMS was blessed to be a recipient of a Goshen Education Foundation teacher grant. Our class is EXTREMELY grateful and thankful for the ongoing support and generosity of the Goshen Education Foundation. Grants are used to help make a positive difference in the lives of numerous students. We have so many kids that come into our classroom each day to utilize our sensory equipment, take a break to regain focus or learn valuable life skills. This year the grant help to purchase additional fidgets for our classroom, a set of noise cancelling headphones, a spinning sensory chair and a $250 gift card to Kroger. The gift card will be utilized to buy food and supplies to help teach kids life skills such a cooking, cleaning and how to do the laundry. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Goshen Education Foundation for your incredible support of our students, staff and community. We are forever thankful for you. It’s always a great day to be a Warrior!

Eighth-grade students at GMS had an exciting opportunity to visit the Live Oaks Career Center yesterday. They enjoyed exploring the various booths and learning about the different programs available. It’s amazing to think that, if they choose to attend, they'll be starting there in just three short years!

GMS students in Ms. Middick's club have been sharpening their tennis swings and getting active on the court! In addition to sports, her tribe has been embracing the season by creating festive fall decorations.
