Attention 8th grade students:
The GHS Counselors will be here on Thursday, January 26 during 3rd hour to talk with you about choosing high school classes. You will be split up by your last name. If your last name is A-G you will go to the cafeteria. If your last name is H-P you will go to the small gym. If your last name is Q-Z you will go to the large gym.

Attention all students: You may have noticed the challenge board in the cafeteria with five new challenges posted each week. Starting this week, you may turn in completed challenges into the marked box under the bulletin board for a chance to win a prize. A winner from each grade level will be chosen each week and given their choice of a prize. Prizes include a free cookie at lunch, an extra ASAP homework pass, a coupon to go to the front of the lunch line, free admission to a GMS sporting event and more. Grab a challenge (or 2 or 3) during study hall, lunch or while passing through the cafeteria and turn it back in by Friday each week to be eligible. But remember that we do not have school on Friday this week. Winners will be announced each Monday morning. Good luck!
