Amid the excitement of Homecoming dress-up days at GMS, learning was still the most important priority this week. Students in Mrs. Atwell's 8th grade science classes were using principles of physics to design marble roller coasters and students in 7th grade geography with Ms. Bush and Mrs. Jackson were busy making connections between their classrooms and their world.
Check out Twins Day at GMS, one of our themed dress up days to celebrate Homecoming across the Geneseo School District.

Sophia Urquiza was honored today with a Maple Leaf Medallion for being an outstanding 8th grade student, athlete, and musician. Her leadership in GMS Drum Line, dedication to GMS Softball and the Percussion section in band, and her achievement in the classroom all demonstrate a high level of Teach Learn Care. Congratulations Sophia!
Thank you to all of our custodians for keeping our schools clean and safe. Your hard work truly makes a difference in creating a welcoming environment for learning and you are vital to our school community!
Happy players and a proud Coach Monier had a "Good things come to those who wait" moment when they received and added a Heartland Conference Championship plaque to the GMS trophy case. Though they're all in 8th grade now and were in 7th grade last school year when they wrapped up their hoops season, it's always AWESOME to celebrate a championship effort!!!
The Maple Leaf Marching Band Classic kicked off today with our very own Sound of GMS. 7th and 8th grade bands played the National Anthem, as well as a number of other hit tunes, in a fun and phenomenal performance. High School Bands from across the region play from now until 8pm, come out and support music in Geneseo!
Students in Mr. McAvoy's 8th grade U.S. History classes had the opportunity to give "Peas Porridge" a try during their study of early American colonization. From Mac's expression, eating mashed peas, stale bread, and rendered salt pork for every meal, every day, for months, would've been AWESOME!!!
Huzzah! 6th graders gave a huge welcome to King Verner this morning, the ambassador to Medieval Times. Students are getting ready to begin their Pie Sales Fundraiser, raising funds that allow them to make the trip to Medieval Times in the spring.
What's common across GMS this week 5? No doubt, it's the smiles!
