📣 For this week’s WOW Wednesday, we would like to spotlight the great things happening in Mr. Laster’s 6th grade beginning band!! 🎼 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Mr. Laster shared the following, “The 6th grade beginning band students have started to learn how to play their instruments. There are plenty of “joyful noises” happening right now and we cannot wait for you to hear how much they have grown in just a few short months. The Winter band Concert will be on December 3rd and will feature both the 6th grade Beginning band and the 7th and 8th Grade Symphonic band!”

Another great WOW Wednesday to share this week from Mrs. Pettijohn’s Art class!

In the Art 2 class, students applied their mathematical skills to solve a mystery coordinate grid. Throughout the project, the students explored the elements of art and learned how different lines can convey various emotions, culminating in the creation of an expressive emotion band.

🥳 We are SO excited to introduce a new and fun way to recognize our outstanding faculty: FACULTY Fridays! Every Friday we will showcase the amazing teaching going on at GSMS.

Our first Faculty Friday recognition goes to Mr. Joe Mendez! Mr. Mendez is our Woodshop teacher and is beloved by both students and colleagues alike. He holds our students to the highest standards all while supporting them and letting them know how much he cares. He is a staple at every game and extracurricular activity at GSMS, further evidence of his love and commitment to his students. Mrs. Moffatt and Coach Lewis enjoyed surprising him with a free Sonic drink and certificate on this Faculty Friday! Congratulations Mr. Mendez on this Fun Friday recognition! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

For this week’s WOW Wednesday, we are excited to showcase the wonderful things happening in Ms. Park’s 7th grade Reading Language Arts class. Since the start of the school year, her students have been creating “All About Me” essays. Today, the students received an illustration of a blank t-shirt and decorated it with images that represented details from their essays. Once completed these creative “All About Me” projects will be proudly displayed in the hallway for all to enjoy! Just another example of our students doing awesome work on a WOW Wednesday! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
